5.00An excellent 90 minute tour with an excellent guide (Henry), for a great city highlight, with a seemingly good pace, not too slow nor too fast…
A fun way to get the history and see the city!

5.00We like to do this wherever we travel. We love to get a general history of the major sights and it helps us to identify places we want to explore more.

3.00The tour was a great way to see the cities fabulous sites in a short amount of time. However, I didn’t appreciate the guide disparaging one of the landmarks.
Fluffy puppy on the right!

5.00Free shuttle from my hotel was easy and fast. The tour itself started off with going through all the stops with great commentary from Nick! He was informative and funny. He made the tour. All the stops were interesting and the bus frequency at stops was pretty good. I live near Philadelphia but spent a day doing touristy things for fun! I'd recommend this (and hope you get Nick - he pointed out every fluffy puppy as well!!)

4.00Great way to get around the city. So many sites and so much to see. Staff was great. Buses ran frequently. The only complaint I have is on your ticket the meeting point states you can get on at any location advertised. Well not true. We waited 30 min before calling only to be told it’s stop 1 and 5.

3.00Waiting for the bus was very long. Over 25 minutes. There is no place to sit or shade while waiting for the bus. Staff was very good and gave good commentary of the sites.
Not worth the money paid.

3.00Unfortunately, we were not directed to a double decker bus. The experience was not fulfilling because the live commentator did not describe the cultural significance or provide an adequate background of each location on the tour map.

5.00We had a fantastic experience. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly and very entertaining. The bus makes well over 20 stops so you can get on and off but we just stayed on for the 90 minute tour. Would highly recommend!
