Alles lief einwandfrei, nur die Informationen waren falsch: - Man muss gar nicht eine halbe Stunde vorher da sein um mit dem QR-Code sein Ticket zu erhalten, das Ticket ist der QR-Code und das nicht nur für die Bootsfahrt sondern auch für den Bus. Ich hoffe Sie können das korrigieren, damit Ihre künftige Kunden nicht rumstehen müssen! - Die Haltestellen Infos sind auch falsch hinterlegt bei Ihrer Beschreibung. Finden Sie die richtigen unter: https://cityexplorerliverpool.co.uk/tour-information/
