Don't bought. The bus never show up in any stop. We never saw the bus around there, I don't know because the snow. Then we saw it one time next but my tickets was for the day before. So I lose my $130. We walk all city looking fora bus.

Purchase your ticket from a person as i found the app impossible to use it just sends you around in an endless loop

Excellent experience to see city in short period of time. Brochure was more helpful compared to microphone commentary.

We experienced problems using this bus. It was difficult to know where the pickups were. We ended up going the wrong way and it took forever to get to the water tower. Buses stopped at 3pm for the parade. So we took a very expensive bus ride from stop 4 (Hilton) to the water tower. Operators did not respond to our calls or messages until almost 8-10 hours later. Very disappointing
