daydreamer – United StatesOctober 15, 2023 – Verified booking
Compared to other citieslike NY there was nothing much to see (only 1 loop) and the stops were less.. I book the bigbus tour when I visit any new city but I dont get down coz of the difficulty faced in getting the bus from intermediate stops..overall to see a new city in its entirety, irs the best option..

The route through the city was really well chosen. Unfortunately, Dave was the only bus driver who told us anything about the city. Otherwise everything runs via a pre-recorded audio guide that was very childlike. Our recommendation is to definitely stay seated with Dave the bus driver and do the entire tour with him before you look at the sights - it will be worth it.

On the first bus, Anton was the driver who gave the tour himself. He was easy to understand and it was fun. In the second bus the tour came off the assembly line with lots of music and fanfare. The essentials were neglected. I felt disturbed by the music and the chatter. I didn't think it was that good!
