San Jose City Sightseeing Tour

San Jose, Costa Rica

My Rating
3 star rating: Worth doing

My Review

The National Theater and Museum Tour were interesting. The tour seemed to criss-cross back and forth across the city (seeing the same surroundings 3 times). The last stop was at a jewelry shop which was not shown on the schedule, and we felt captive with the doors locked and a guard at the door. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The bus driver did not acknowledge anyone, or even look up when he was introduced.

Paris City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Paris, France

My Rating
2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better

My Review
The bus tour was okay, but not as efficient as the one we booked through Viator in Madrid. There was only the driver, while in Madrid there were 2 people, the driver and one who handled the tickets. The bus stops were too far apart to make it easy to get to all of the sites we wanted to see. Madrid had 2 separate lines, which made stops much more convenient.

My Review
The hop on hop off bus in Madrid was a great experience. It was within walking distance of our hotel, ran very often, stopped at all of the right stops, and gave us a very good overall history of the area.
