2.00While Michael was entertaining, it would have been nice if he discussed more of the buildings and neighborhoods. We passed unique buildings and he didn’t say what buildings they were.more history would have been nice. He literally made up stories of the buildings.
Awesome

5.00Michael was great, he was entertaining. The busses are old and need heat and cleaning. You can see out any of the windows. They are scratched and dirty . The only place to see is out in the open on the top.
Amazing michael
