“Tour was great! We really enjoyed the light show. The city and partners really know how to put a show. Main tourist attractions were part of show with really great light displays. All different and exciting. The bus was clean and made a few stops so we could take photos and excellent videos. We did not realize this was a Hop on and Hop off bus. It didn’t bother us.

But nobody noticed the drama. The reservation was easy…”
