Also, shout out to Grico (sp?) who picked us up in the sightseeing tour shuttle (from the same company) because the other hop-on/hop-off buses were taking a while. He was kind enough to pick us up and take us to our final stop.”

I bought the tour because we were being picked up at our hotel, so it was misleading and false advertisement on Viator’s website. Other…”

Michael arrived late and each tour stop cost money. The $95+ for the tour didn't include any entrance fees at all! So had to pay an additionally $74 to gain access to Sky Observatory, Museum of Flight, Chihuly Glass Exhibit, and Monorail ride: very expensive tour! At the end of the tour, I left my black wrap/shawl in the tour van, so…”
