Tanya said... I bought a ticket for January 14. That was a mistake. Apparently there were several tour ships in town at the same time and the company just kept selling tickets which they did not have capacity for. Somehow, I managed to get on a bus, but at every stop there were dozens and dozens and dozens of people waiting to get on the bus. It was raining. No one wanted to get OFF the bus, knowing that they would not be able to get back ON the bus. I ended up staying on the bus for the entire tour and not debarking at any of the stops where I had hoped to. It also took much longer than the loops normally do because at each stop the driver would have to apologize to those waiting, try to squeeze a few more on, and so on. It was a complete waste of my time and money. Another day, likely a great option to see the city. The competition hop on hop off- kiwi something (and with open top buses, too)- obviously did not oversell themselves and their buses always had capacity when they pulled up.
