We bought a two-day pass with City Discovery and spent the entire time traversing the canals of Amst

We were spending a couple of days in New York before we embarked on a cruise to Bermuda and we wanted to see as much of the city as possible in the little time we had. A tour was what we needed, but a tour of the most important hard rock hotel offers orlando tourist destinations in the short time we had?
Then we discovered hard rock hotel offers orlando the joy of the hop on, hop off tour. We booked a three-day pass with Gray Line and packed the next three days with all the many attractions hard rock hotel offers orlando to which we could drag our weary bodies. We hopped on the ubiquitous double-decker hard rock hotel offers orlando buses and hopped off whenever we saw something interesting. There were always more buses coming by and it was an easy, fun, and fairly cheap way to see the city.
So when we set out across the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls with a long list of attractions we wanted to see, the first thing we did was to buy tickets for the Peoplemover buses . These comfortable buses come by about every 20 minutes and stop at all the major attractions in the area.
They also drive up and down the Niagara Parkway to access hard rock hotel offers orlando the attractions, which is a beautiful attraction by itself. You should hard rock hotel offers orlando spend some time just riding up and down this road and enjoying the incredible view of the falls. Be aware, however, that the buses only run though the middle of October, when many of the attractions in Niagara Falls shut down for the fall and winter. And be sure to hop off at the Maid of the Mist for a cruise up to the incredible hard rock hotel offers orlando view of the thundering hard rock hotel offers orlando falls and the Whirlpool Aero car, a tram that takes you right across the river hundreds of feet in the air. We loved both!
We again went international with the hop on, hop off concept when we stopped in Victoria, British Columbia, on one of our cruises. Big Bus Victoria takes you all over town to all of the major attractions. Have lunch at Barb's Fish and Chips and afternoon tea at the gorgeous and historical Empress Hotel, hard rock hotel offers orlando and then tour Craigdarroch Castle .  It's an incredible place!
From Victoria, we sailed on to Vancouver and hopped on our favorite mode of transportation once again. The Vancouver Big Bus took us all over town as we hopped on and off. We especially loved the Vancouver Aquarium , where you should be sure to see the 4D movie in the theater. hard rock hotel offers orlando We also enjoyed a harbor cruise where we watched the incredible sunset and dined on delicious food.
All of these experiences were wonderful in every way. We loved the ease and convenience of hopping off wherever we wanted to spend more time, then hopping back on for an effortless trip to the next stop.
Visiting hard rock hotel offers orlando the "Venice of the North" for a few days before we embarked on a river cruise in Europe, we mulled over the best way to see the city in the least amount of time. There were no hop on, hop off bus tours, but we quickly realized we could utilize the many canal tours in the same way.
We bought a two-day pass with City Discovery and spent the entire time traversing the canals of Amsterdam. Luckily for us, the canal boats stopped right at the Ij River in front of the Movenpick Hotel where we were staying, so we just hopped on every morning and spent the entire day seeing the city. I think we went over every single canal. We particularly enjoyed seeing all the houseboats berthed in the canals and the people who lived on them just going about their business. The sheer number of bikes in Amsterdam is also amazing, and it was fun to see people of every age biking everywhere. We peeked at the Red Light District (during the day – we weren t brave enough to venture there at night), tasted cheese and the scrumptious local pancakes in Dam Square hard rock hotel offers orlando , and saw a windmill in the heart of the city.
I think hop on/hop off tours can be great ways to explore a new city. I just don t like to spend too much time on them. But it s a good way to get your bearings before taking off of on your own. And, as you said, they re easy and convenient in getting you from one major spot to another.
Tour buses of any kind is a great idea! I can t tell you how much I ve probably missed seeing because I was busy reading maps or the GPS trying to figure out where to go next. I have been known to hop on a city bus and take a round trip just so I can see the town. However, on a tour you can learn SO much. Looks like you ve been to some awesome places.
I have used Hop On Hop Off buses a few different times. Loved it in Washington DC but wasn t so fond of it in Budapest. I m still open to them as they are a way to get across town and see some sights before hard rock hotel offers orlando deciding how to spend your time. Love the way you used the canals in Amsterdam!
