We’ve used The Big Red... - We’ve used The Big Red Bus in a number of different cities and thought this was the same company but we were sadly mistaken. The first bus we got on the driver went right by the designated stop we wanted to get out at. Not knowing the area we didn’t realize it until she was at the next stop. So, we got out and hoofed it back to where we wanted to be. The second bus we got on was leaking from the rain - it came down from the upstairs like a waterfall and came in the doors and windows. I think they are lucky no one slipped and fell. The area the bus covered was actually pretty walkable so it didn’t add a lot of value. I would not use CitySightseeing again.

Don’t pick this tour operator! - Absolutely horrible service!! Do not waste your money or time on this one!! Left stranded at one stop for twice the amount of time we should have waited only to be greeted by the most obnoxiously rude driver “Greco”. Made horrible sarcastic remarks about how “lucky” we should feel about being on the last bus to our cruise ship, when it was his fault for being late! Then had the gaul to transfer us to another bus, causing us to be even later! Not to mention while on the way to this “transfer stop”, he stopped in the middle of the street (no lie) to hop off and grab a free sample of chocolate from a vendor on the sidewalk! All while knowing we were already behind schedule! To top it off, the Director of Operations who was the last driver to the cruise ship terminal, couldn’t care less about the complaints about one of his drivers and replied “why did you take this driver’s route if you found him rude?” Like…. we had a choice in the matter on the last bus and after waiting almost an hour!! Truly unbelievable. Skip this one at all costs! Other poor ratings of theirs speak for themselves.

Pay to Wait - I waited over 40 minutes on two occasions for the bus and finally walked to the next site. If you want to spend $54 for a self walking tour..or wait around for a bus half the day.. this is the perfect option. If you want to see things and get your moneys worth I would look elsewhere.
