Boat ride and docent super. Bus ride and docent super. It wouid be helpful to have approximate times for bus arrival at each stop . Bus stops were not always convenient to get to major tour spots I. E tower of Americas. We did a lot more walking than we planned. Wished the bus times went past 5:30

We rode the riverwalk during the day, then again with Christmas lights at night. The hop on hop off bus was wonderful, but the Tower of America's was the last thing we did and we didn't get to enjoy it so next time we will do it first.

My brother and I definitely enjoyed all the activities bought online.

It was everything the activity described. We enjoyed it very much.

Lines were better on the week days and in the daytime hours
