Always a good way to start the vacation in a new place to get oriented to the city and things to do. The LIVE tour is especially helpful as you can interact and ask questions. Our guide is very knowledgeable, funny and engaging. Very happy with the OTT HOHO activity.

Such a great way to see the city and highlights. Our tour guide, Hollywood, gave us all expert tips on which museums needed times entry tickets, where to find good food, where to get good photos, etc in addition to being knowledgeable about the history and facts of the city. The buses were full and running every 20-30 minutes. I wish only that we could have seen the street with all the embassies! Otherwise, this tour is fantastic!

The only reason I gave it 4 stars was the stampede to board at the stops which is no fault of Old Town Trolly. Overall a great value. Very knowledgeable drivers. Well maintained trolleys. Very good drivers in the tight streets and traffic conditions. Book early, we'll worth the price. Highly recommend Old Town Trolly.
