The hop on and hop off bus is convenient all day long. We were able to experience a beautiful sight seeing. The boat tour and a walking tour is a bonus thank you for that.

The tour was excellent though the bus windows could have been cleaner to enable photos. Unfortunately the cruise element was cancelled due to ice in the river which was a disappointment
