Hop on Hop Off Harbor Cruise Combo. - The Hop on Hop Off bus was easy to use was stayed on its schedule. The add on Harbor Cruise was very good except for the ticketing. Was not told that reservation had to be done at Hop on booth and there was no one at the booth. The Harbor Cruise finally let us on even though they could not confirm the ticket. Be sure to ck in with Hop on Hop Off before heading to Harbor Cruise

Was disappointed! - Nothing! I have had better Hop on Hop off experiences in other countries and cities than this ride. The wait time between the buses is too long, the bus maintenance with the heating and not being able to turn it off and making it uncomfortable was not pleasant for the customers. I would suggest that when cruise ships come into your city, you look at putting on a few more buses running a bit more regularly as 50 to 60 minutes between each bus can be a long wait time for elderly people, especially if the city hasn't put any seating near the pick up spot. Other than that you have a lovely city, just wish we had a bit more time to see it.

Lost Tour Bus - Grand evening I would like to get a refund for my Seattle Tour. The bus was very late picking us up almost a hour . Dropped us off at one stop and picked up at another. No signage some people walked back to our cruise ship to make sure they arrived on time. I also heard a few passengers say one of the drivers was drinking, not sure how they came to that assumption. It was a little stressful the tour and times, could have seen more of the city but unfortunately did not this time.

Skip this - Poor signage everywhere to locate bus. Finally located bus stop only to be told. We had to walk four blocks to a new stop . We were told to go to the original Starbucks, however the bus stop was not at this location and after several phone calls a group of about 12 people looking for the same stuff finally located the correct stop. But in the meantime, it was 45 minutes and not a single bus had gone by. Bus picking us up from the space needle had no air condition and it would be another 20 to 30 minutes for additional bus. There is no personalized tour guide. It is just pre-recorded audio. Usually these city bus tours are good but in Seattle, I wouldn’t recommend it. Took it to make it easy to get around major sites, but would’ve been quicker to walk.

Terrible - I was charged for nothing, I called to the operator never helped me, never got an email or answer, they just said you have to wait with no answer.
The phone or the chat is the same bad experience
