sightseeing bus

Open-top tour vehicle

A sightseeing bus is a tour bus designed to carry tourists past notable attractions in a city or region.

These buses typically have large windows or open-air upper decks, and many offer recorded or live commentary about landmarks along the route.

We hopped on a sightseeing bus to see the city's historic district.
