Not worth it

3.00It was just OK. The guides on the bus were decent with interesting trivia. The biggest issue was the "Hop-on / Hop-off" part. We went on a Friday afternoon and nothing in town was particularly crowded, but the buses always were. The buses would stop for ~5mins at each stop and it was a LONG wait getting from spot to spot.
Guide Logan was very...

5.00Great way to see the city and scope out what you want to explore further. Upstairs has a cover for most so you don’t get sunburned.

4.00Come prepared. Have comfortable shoes, bring snacks and drinks if you can because you can be in lines and you might have to travel a ways to get where you going. Have fun
Cool experience

4.00We really enjoyed learning about the historical aspect of the city. We had 3 different tour guides throughout our experience. Logan was definitely the best!! . He was knowledgeable and had a great personality. We did have one that I did not care for because he kept using curse words which were inappropriate especially since there was children on board.
Great way to see the city & learn history!

5.00Very well organized and well marked stops. The sound was kind of muffled on the first floor because of the loud ventilation. We moved upstairs and heard everything very well. The guides were informative and fun.
Great way to see it all.

5.00We take this tour in all the cities we visit and this one did not disappoint. Bill and Lita were a great team. Lots of interesting facts and stories. 18 stops to choose to explore. Easy to navigate with the app to see bus times and routes.
Do it!

4.00The hop on hop off is easy to navigate. Challenge is that they fill up quickly at peak times. Can’t always sit with partner. Guides are friendly and drivers do an amazing job navigating narrow streets. You get to see and learn so much about the area you are visiting.
