Good tour. - Good knowledge of history and facts. Wish the coverage area was broader and reached areas outside downtown.

City come alive - This would be a top priority, but bring literal money to leave a tip. We only had a card and a $100 bill with us and we could not tip the driver. I felt so bad because it was a wonderful trip.

Great tour, but needs updated - The tour was good and the guide was great. Would have been 5 stars if they knew the name of the Gulf Of America. The guide and the on- bus recording don't know that the name changed.

Too much $$$ for too little - 1 1/2 hours driving through an empty Sunday city. About the only time the guide spoke was when coming up on a mural or historic building. Lots of silent time that should have been filled with something more about the city.
