The hop off hop on was so convenient and economical the tour guide was very informative the ease of connecting to the bus for the next stop of the tour was so easy because of the signage and at one point at Peaks Market there was a tour guide assisting with the hop on and she was actually tracking the bus arrival yo the pick up point. Would definitely do this again !
