My husband and 8 month old daughter decide to take this tour on a hot day because we thought it would be a great way to get around the city. We decided to sit on the lower level due to having our daughter’s stroller and not wanting her to get scorched by the sun on the top deck.
The lower level is not air conditioned and on some buses the windows don’t even open. It was like sitting in an oven. I kept wiping my daughter down with a burp cloth and bottled water to cool her off. At one point we got out and walked and it was probably 10 degrees cooler outside.
If you choose to sit on the lower level due to a stroller or a wheelchair and it is a hot day. You will be wasting your money. This company doesn’t seem to understand that the elderly, young children, people with medical conditions can die in excessive heat. AC should not be considered a luxury. Based on the cost per person to take this tour, I’m sure they can afford AC.
I contacted this company right after our tour, via their web site, and never heard a single word back from them. They just want to collect your money and let you roast!
