Best way we have found to see a new city is take a Hop on Hop off bus and get familiar with it. Then go back around a few more times and see where you want to get off and spend some time. We still use it for transportation in cities that we are familiar with because it's cheaper than taxi's. But if you prefer private tours and transportation just contact me and we can arrange that for you at the best price possible. We have personal contacts in most major cities around the world and even smaller ones in Italy, Costa Rica and Vietnam where we have lived.
