“This was such a fun half day experience. We toured around learning all about the history of Nashville while sitting comfortably in a bus.

Buck and they had so much information to share with us. It was a wonderful experience.”

“I got to say, this was not how I expected. Maybe I should have done more research but I only had one day in San Francisco due to Layover and I thought that to see the most of the city this was a good idea because the bus makes stops in most of the tourist places and that way I could save money in Transportation and see the most if it but it wasn't like that at all. One down side of buying this through Viator is that the driver does not tell you about the Bus's audio tour and headphones so that you can hear the history while on…”
Ride Oahu’s Blue Line along dramatic coast roads, stop at Halona Blowhole, and hop off for plate lunch and Leonard’s malasadas.
“It was okay. The views are great. But the bus in noisy and bumpy added to a very windy day. It goes and returns the same way so if you want to get off on the way back that is good. The the scenic tour of the coast in a van is a much better option as you stop at more view points and the ride is more comfortable. You get what you pay for. I would not recommend it at less you want to get off at one if the stops.”

See Washington DC’s major monuments by open-top bus, with 18 stops, live tracking, audio tours, bike rental, and Arlington options.
“Here is the situation. The bus was (obviously) not running at the same frequency as during the height of tourist season. This was not explained on the viator site or on the site of the BigBus. I looked at it several times during the day because we only saw 1 bus in an 8 hour period and it completely bypassed the stop we were waiting at. I again went on the site to see if the stop we were at was not being used, but it stated that it was and that we should see a bus every 20 minutes. It did say that there were 2 stops that were…”
