City Tours - The Best Way to See the City
Booking a city tour is a great way to save time and avoid stress. The tour will take you to and teach you about popular attractions. Additionally, it will allow you to be stress-free because someone chauffeurs you. The concierge at your hotel will give you specific information about a city tour. You should ask about the cost, the route, the starting time, the point of departure and a length. You should also ask about transportation and reservations.
Double-decker buses are commonly used for city tours. These offer passengers good views of the city. The bus driver may be your tour guide, or there may be a separate guide on the bus. The guide will explain what there is to know about each attraction. Keep in mind that you won’t stop at every attraction that the guide discusses, because there isn’t enough time.
Each city tour has a pre-arranged route. You will likely see cultural attractions, such as museums and art galleries, places of entertainment like parks or exhibits and other famous areas or landmarks. On the tour lunch may be included. On many tours you will be dropped off near restaurant and given some free time to eat, shop and do sightseeing on your own. Most tours will also make stops at local markets for you to buy local handicrafts and souvenirs.
Depending on the size of the city, there may be more than one company giving tours. Choose the tour that has a brochure you like. Also make sure that your guide speaks your language, or that there is a translation service. If you can’t understand your guide, you will have a bad day.
