What’s Included:
Accessibility: This tour is not wheelchair accessible. Guests must be able to ascend and descend stairs onto the motorcoach as there is no lift. Guests with a light, collapsible mobility device must be able to store the device under the bus themselves, as the guide or bus driver are not allowed to lift them.
What to Bring: Camera and cash or credit/debit card for purchases.
Good to Know: The sequence of stops may vary due to construction and the bus may not be able to go by Chinatown. The longest day of the year is June 21. Due to this the city lights are not as bright on the early departures between June and mid-July. For calls happening on July 1st, passengers will not be able to get off the bus for a photo opportunity in the Inner Harbour due to the public holiday, “Canada Day.” Depending on daylight, the tour will visit either Beacon Hill or Songhess.
