Ticketing was done online. We just showed our paper ticket and hopped right on the bus. We loved seeing and hearing (don't forget to take earphones that are free) places on the bus. Very easy to get off and get back on.

Ivan (Driver) and Shelley (Tour Guide) were awesome! Ivan did his best to slow down where he could so we could get as many pictures as we could. Shelley was so fun and incredibly thorough with information about the City and Borroughs. This was a highlight of our trip and I highly suggest taking this tour! It would be a great tour to do at the beginning of your trip, too!!
