Tips On Taking Advantage Of Sightseeing Bus Tours

By Zelma Hurley


You always wanted to go sightseeing on a bus tour. You know that it would be fun to check out places without the need for you to be on the driver's seat. With someone else doing the driving and somebody explaining to you about you are seeing, things would be less taxing for you. Plus, you can take better pictures too.

You have never been into one of these trips before. Of course, if you want to pay for these hollywood sightseeing bus tours, you want to make sure you are making the most of them. Here are some of the things that you can do to ensure that you are indeed getting the most ut of the whole sightseeing experiences.

The areas where you can park will always be plenty, but choose the right place. Consider where the tour company have its offices and park near. This will help ensure that your walk to the car after the whole tour is done is going to be a short one.

Arrive early. You will have already decided which company to refer to and when the time of the tour is. You must have also made the necessary reservations to take part in the activity. So, make an effort to get there early. There is no telling when you might get stuck in traffic. So, being thirty minutes early is good practice.

Remember that these companies will actually allow you to bring water and snacks. Snacks would be very ideal especially if you are taking advantage of a longer tour. A bottled water is very handy regardless of the length of the tour. You would never really enjoy these events when you are thirsty and parched the whole time.

Decide when you'd want to go on the tour too. You can choose the morning, the evening, or the afternoon schedules. Most would pick the schedule that they'll find to be must convenient. If you can, try going for the morning schedule. Most people have found this to not only be very convenient, but the best time too.

Consider the presence of traffic when deciding when you will want to go on these tours. Morning tour is better because it often starts around ten, just when the traffic calms down. It does pick up around three in the afternoon and peaks from five to seven. Sp, do consider this when making a decision.

If you really want to avoid being stuck in the traffic, trips during the mid-afternoon may be good. Most people like the fact that there is less traffic during this time. The only downside though is that the pictures you take may not always be very good due to the light contrasting at this time.

Consider the type of tour guide or driver that you have for the tour too. They are expected to explain to you the places that you have been in to. At the end of the tour, they would usually expect to receive tips for you. This is purely your discretion. But most of the time three to five dollar tips are given for shorter trips and five to ten dollars for the longer ones. Of course, you would need to asses show well they have assisted you during the tour when deciding.
