Becky the guide/driver was quite a character. Since I've read previous reviews about her, I wasn't surprised. She was very nice and let me on the bus first since I was using a cane. It was a great introduction to the island, made exciting by the hairpin turns and crazy golf cart drivers. She made sure we got a chance to take photos at a certain lookout point. Wish the sound system was better since some of what she said was garbled and it was hard to hear with nearby passengers talking at the same time. I would have taken the longer tour and seen more of the island but it wasn't available during my visit.

The tour itself was beautiful but unfortunately the tram we rode in was a terrible ride and actually painful for me and my mom. My two kids didn't seem to mind bouncing around though. I would suggest the Skyline Bus tour instead.

Amazing city tour of the island in about an hour. Cool 1952 tour bus. Driver highlights the historical and cultural sites of the island. There is no stopping for pictures on the tour. However the driver will tell you ahead of time when to take the pictures on the bus.
