“Was a standard city bus tour. The bus was clean, it arrived on time, the driver was friendly. Was not hop on hop off as they do not operate that in the winter which is fair. Been on many of these tours, would just be amazing if they could get the commentary to match the actual location. But got to see some sights further out of the city that would not have seen otherwise.”
