Insider Tips & Local Hacks

Small changes to how you ride can make a big difference.

Favorites

• Sit on the upper deck right side heading north for sunset views.
• Use the first bus of the day for less traffic and better photo light.
• If a stop looks full, wait one loop — you'll likely have more space.

Money saver

• Book mid-week for lower crowds and occasional discounts.
• Combine with attractions you already planned; sometimes bundles are cheaper.

Seating & boarding strategies

• Board at minor stops for faster boarding and better seat choice.
• For groups, spread across both decks to avoid clustering and speed reboarding.
