Fun tour around town

Enjoyed the day time bus tour! Waiting a long time for the night time bus tour to get started but excited to see different areas of the town.

Bait and Switch

We booked and paid for the live narration 8pm night tour and instead were put on the 8:30 audio tour which was a joke. It was the audio for a hop on hop off bus, which this was not, so we kept hearing the welcome aboard message over and over. The narration was often out of sync with where we were and most of the tour was just music and commentary. The attitude of the guy in charge when I said I had paid for the live narration tour was we don’t have that tonight and I just work here and contact customer service if you aren’t happy. To make matters worse, although the sky was clear when we boarded, the seats were filled of puddles from earlier rain. I couldn’t believe they hadn’t dried them off before loading the bus. I do not recommend this company.

Did not get value for money

The description of tour said live guide. But it was a recording the recorded guiding was not keeping up with the bus. It was very disappointing,
