Sometimes when I only have a short time in a city and no transportation I have bought tickets to the local hop on hop off bus tour, often the double decker type but never the Viking or duck tour.  (I refuse to wear silly hats people!  The line must be drawn somewhere.)  I feel like these tours can sometimes give visitor’s the quick lay of the land with the option to stop and visit sites along the way.  It has always seemed like a good value as compared to multiple taxi rides with ill-tempered drivers.  Part of me dies inside a little bit at the thought of such a “touristy” thing to do.  But, the other part of me cannot deny how fun and convenient these tours are.  My parents really enjoyed doing this in Dublin recently…

What are your thoughts intrepid friends?  Swear by the hop on hop off bus tour or scoff at the idea?  I promise not to judge you!  😉
