The tour bus was very clean and comfortable. In the heat wave the air-conditioning was welcomed! Chef Karl our guide was very knowledgeable. However, I would’ve appreciated a couple more stop points to get on and off. The waterfront stop was closed due to festivities Rainbow Row would’ve been a nice place to stop for a quick photo.
