We enjoyed both tours, but the tour on the water was the best. We had already walked the city so the bus tour took us past places we had already been. But it would be good to have the bus tour first, to see what you want to visit by foot

Our experience was bitter-sweet, only bc I had an episode with my heart. The staff went beyond assisting care for him and my wife. Although, we were not able to join the rest of the tourists, we were cared for until we returned to docking. Thank you staff on the Georgia Queen Cruise Boat, for your extraordinary service. And thank you Gray Line Tours for your incredible service narrating history!
