Clients had a great time!

2026-06-22 1.00 / 5

The busses did not have people doing the tour. It was a pre-recorded message. The drivers didn't even announce what stop we were at. The busses constantly had to take additional streets because they had to "waste" time. Then nothing was being toured at all. It was a total waste of money.

Great trip Good information on spots we wanted to visit the next day
