Is the hop-on hop-off sightseeing bus in Nha Trang worth it, or is a taxi better?

TL;DR
Reviews say Nha Trang's hop-on hop-off is actually a cramped, windowless minivan rather than a real double-decker bus, and a taxi ends up cheaper and faster for the same stops.
What the community said
Instead of a proper tourist bus, you get an old cramped windowless minivan with a narrow aisle between seats, hard to pass through even for an average-sized person.

The onboard attendant barely speaks Russian/English and explains everything with gestures — like telling you to scan the QR code on your ticket to activate the audio guide.

It's easy to hit your head on the low hatch/doorway when getting off — one traveler got hurt, and the attendant and driver rushed to leave quickly to avoid responsibility for the injury.

Bottom line from the review: taking a taxi to the same landmarks works out cheaper and faster than riding this hop-on hop-off bus.
