4.00We had a great experience. The only issue we had is the buses take a long time to arrive if you get off at a stop where the Big Bus had more buses and stopped more often. I liked the tour just wish we didn’t have to wait so long at stops.
Quick and convenient movement!!

4.00Very convenient at moving through a busy city. Can’t wait for them to go electric! Fumes from buses could be bothersome at times.
