Why Should I Take A Tourist Bus Around A City I Am Visiting?

There is a major company in the world that has big red sightseeing tour buses. For about £9, you will get a guided tour of the city, with someone who knows the city well telling you about the local city, landscape, architecture etc. A poor tour guide won't be able to keep up the patter and will only really give you details of buildings and a bit of local history or contemporary knowledge. A great tour guide will know about people, places, things, myths, tourist misconceptions, and tell the odd joke to keep the people interested.

This type of tour is great for getting to know a city you might come to live in, for people who already live in the city to get to know the city better and for complete strangers who would like to enjoy the city they are visiting more.

If you keep your ticket from the tour, you can use it to get a discount at any big red sightseeing tour buses in the world! Often the brochure map that comes with it will also include discounts for stores and restaurants.
