“My husband and I find hop on hop off tours very helpful and have done a number of them. This was our worse experience and wouldn’t suggest it to anyone. The bus driver would give very little time for the passengers to get on or off. The passengers wouldn’t be seated or up the stairs and it would take off. Wanting to get out was a joke if you were on the top level because you couldn’t get down the stairs fast enough. Our driver was talking loudly on the phone the entire time we were on the bus.”
