City tour on vintage trams - Traveling in the 1903 tram was the best part of the tour. The other trams had old advertisements inside. It felt like we were traveling back in time.

Marvelous - Buy a ticket and you can hop on and off trams running about every ten minutes on a 45 minute figure eight pattern through the old part of town. Each tram driver delivers interesting commentary throughout the journey and we found them all to be informative, good natured and great representatives for this fine city. A great way to see the sights.
