    I enjoyed the narrator very much. He was very knowledgeable and added humor effectively. The guided tour was about 1-1/2 hours long, and this was the right length. The only change I would suggest was following the stop points in map order. This wasn't always done.

    This tour was very disorganized. It was definitely not 20 min intervals between buses. The live tracking didn't work. Trying to call the given number also didn't work. When we finally were able to get on, we were told we had to get off a few steps later because this bus didn't go any further. Then we were directed to get on the "red bus" (meaning City Sightseeing Tours" and were told by the guide "that they were both the same thing." That would have been helpful to know earlier.

    Pretty terrible. Top deck was full when we got on. Not much to see from the lower cab. Moved up when a few people got off. Of course, it started to rain. We boarded mid route with our online purchased tickets, but were told we had to get off at the Liberty Hall, and then ride the next bus. Of course, the next bus had no upper deck. The wait between busses was about 45 min, although we were told they departed every 20 min. Staff seemed clueless, except for the guide who was informative. You’d be better off, and spend less money if you buy a guide book and use Lyft to get around.

    First the positive..fyi we booked this tour bus company ..but they apparently have been merged with the other hop on/hop off red bus tour company (or it’s the same company? Not sure) but you can use any of the buses with the same ticket. Bus tour was fine for transportation purposes.. timing was good.. every 15-20 mins never had an issue getting on.. and it was a very busy Saturday in July. Now the bad part..The live tour guides were terrible.. rude personalities, very poor knowledge base .. so much incorrect information.. pointing out museums and buildings and being corrected by other guests.. just overall really bad! So don’t count on any real history or information being provided. One in particular said she wasn’t allowed to mention sports because it was too controversial.. but continued to give her personal opinions and views on politics and other things she should have definitely kept to herself. Also many safety issues as the guides on the top level of the bus not communicating with the driver about guests on the steps or trying to exit! Have been on many hop on/hop off tours in other cities and have never seen these issues. We did tell “management” at stop 1… but didn’t feel it was taken seriously.

    Really great way to get around the city and learn some of the history. The tour guides were all great and entertaining. Only downside was one of the drivers who was rude to my son, but luckily we had limited interaction with him.
