As seniors (9) luckily, we saw a small hop on hop off train in each of the cities that would take us through the very hilly cities so that we could appreciate their beautful hills and valleys, otherwise we would not have been able to see as much. Viators description or the driver should have made a suggestion to us that there was a hop on hop off train. If we didn't see the train, we would have had a very limited excursion.”
