And your Brooklyn/Manhattan analogy was spot on. I was always curious about those touristy double decker busses but never enough to take one! :)

I need to go…and soon

I gave a tour to my parents (nearing 80) and they really liked it. (What else do you give them??). And the bus drives past my office a couple of times a day – I love seeing them!!

I’ve always wondered if it was worth the time/money. I think I’ll get on it.

I need to make an appt. to go on a Duck tour soon. Although I have lived in Albany 30 years, I’m sure to learn a lot more about my town from this tour. Thanks for the enlightenment.

(however I was nine months pregnant at that time) Not sure if they are going to have another, I hope so :)

A few years ago, I enjoyed such a floating tour in Baltimore – the tour bus/boat went through the various neighborhoods in Baltimore and explained all the culture inherent thereto, then it went in the water and we saw everything from the Domino building to the inner and outer harbor. Great, great stuff. Thanks for sharing, Kevin!

It has made me curious to actually take the Albany tour and see what I can learn that I didn’t already know.
