Good overview of the city. - All of the tour guides were great, except one used a recording, and that was not nearly as much fun. The 14th stop was sold out so we got the 9 stop option which I didn’t think I would like as much, but it was perfect. We are elderly and we would not have got on and off at 14 different stop so it worked out just right for us. We chose carefully and got off at 4 stood in two days. Our hotel was in a good location so we walked to other places.

Hugo the entertainer. - We stopped at several places. Two of the drivers did not say much, but Hugo was very informative. He put his own spin on things, and made jokes about stuff and himself. He was very entertaining. He is a valued emoyee.

The best tour guide to see the sights! - City View Hop on Hop off Trolley Tour was l one of the best parts of our trip! We had a few different tour guides since you are able to stop and explore at each location and then catch the next trolley. This being said Joey was by far the best!!! He was kind, funny and genuinely cared to help each person he met along the tour any way he could!

Fabulous Tour! - We loved our tour! Joey was the best, hands down. He ended up being our driver twice in one day. He is super friendly and very knowledgeable. He really knows the history and explains the sites very well. Highly recommend this tour!

Get Hugo as your driver for the BEST day! - This is a great way to see the city, gives good coverage for the city as well as the option to get on and off everywhere along the route. Hugo is the most energetic and friendly driver that gives incredibly informative commentary about every aspect of the city and makes u want to stay onboard to hear what else he's going to say. Unfortunately we had to get back on another trolley with a different driver and he didn't speak at all. He just played the recording that says minimal information about each location while passing by. So boring in comparison to how fun Hugo makes the trip! Plus, he gives u extra information that he personalizes! He made the day sooóoo fun and deserves special recognition for his above and beyond charisma!
