If you want something more entertaining, more bang for your buck and not so slow with all the stops you’re better off booking the small group tour.

Hi Roberta C, we appreciate your honest review. We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are disappointed to hear that your experience with us was not a positive one. This is a HOHO bus that includes 12 stops. but we are sorry that you did not enjoy that. We do appreciate the feedback.

I have done a big bus tour in many major cities to include Boston, DC, and New Orleans and I have enjoyed them. This tour was horrible. If you are looking to learn about the area and history about the city this is not your tour. You can find out more on the internet. Having to sit on a bus with earbuds in for two hours listening to a prerecorded script is terrible. Sometimes the recording was not in line with the area or it was providing info after you passed the attraction. One of the best things about other tours on the big bus is the human tour guide on the bus sharing history, making jokes and sharing wonderful stories. Having the human tour guide makes all the difference. If you want a cheap ride around downtown take this bus but don't have high expectations on learning much.

Nice way to see the city, but bus stop was hard to find, ticketing agent was rude and earphone jack for the tour guide was broken.
