Hello Erica S The two-day ticket for the Hop-on Hop-off bus must be used on two consecutive days. It cannot be used on Monday and Thursday, for example, but on Monday and Tuesday. The hop-on hop-off ticket is the same when purchased separately as when combined with the city pass. Have a great journey,
