    Not the best

    cori_c, Apr 2026
    The bus broke down so we could not start until about 1045 instead of 10. Then the driver was not very I formative or friendly. We’ve done hop on hop offs in other cities and they’ve always been wonderful, so we expected or hoped for the same. When we went to get on the next one after our exploration the people on that bus also said how much cleaner this bus was then the one that broke an hour ago…leading me to believe there was 2 broken buses. We bought the 2 day but decided against using the 2nd day. We will just take Lyfts and explore on foot. I would recommend other cites hop on hop off, not this one.

    Acceptable service
