Our Hop-on-Hop-off City Tour runs in a continuous circle with multiple departures commencing at 9:00am, with most stops at or near all major Hotels in the downtown area. Come

What does "hop-on-and hop-off" mean?


thanks

Seems like the tour bus will drive somewhere, and let the people "hop off" the bus, look around, and then "hop on" again so it can go to another place.

In many cities visited by tourists, there are hop-on-hop-off buses operating. The buses make a loop of the city, stopping at a number of interesting places like museums, parks, palaces, shopping centers, etc. You buy a ticket, get on the bus, and listen to the tour guide tell about the various sights. Whenever you want, you can get off, explore the attraction, then get back on the next bus to continue touring the city. Often a good way to see the sights of a city.
