Awesome way to get your bearings in Las Palmas. Didn’t expect to learn so much local history. Bring a jacket for the breeze up top—trust me.

Took this on my first day and it really helped me figure out what to see. Loved the freedom to hop off whenever. Weather was PERFECT.

Buses were generally on time, easy to use with kids. Only downside: a few seats had crumbs. Otherwise, helpful staff and good route.
