Since it will be my 1st trip and I will be there for only a few days in January. I have decided to do a bus tour for 2 days. Any bus companies to suggest?
Thanks

Onboardtours.com is in closed heated buses with a guide that stays with you. Far better than the hohos that can be freezing in Jan.

You can see only from the top of the big buses and would very quickly be absolutely frozen. A very bad idea.

If the tour mentioned allows you to actually see anything while staying warm it's an option.

But I always reco against tours (except for small walking tours). Do you really just want to see the outside of buildings?

IMHO much better to go inside the sights and see/do what you are really interested in.

Not sure where you're from - but our highs for this week will be in the 20's increasing to about freezing by the end of the week - but with sleet/snow. So be sure you have proper clothing and good winter boots/booties with non-skid soles.
