Top 5 Places on Campus in the Loop

The Loop campus includes various buildings which include classrooms, labs, facilities, offices, and much more. It can be hard to find to navigate since there’s so many floors and unique hidden gems. Here’s a list of places you might not know about at the Loop.

1. DePaul Center (1st Floor)

Pinpointed near the Jackson Red Line station, the DePaul Center is the heart of the Loop Campus offering plentiful activities for leisure and academics. The first floor begins with a Barnes and Noble shop and DePaul bookstore which you may purchase merch, books, and a coffee shop serving Starbucks! At the coffee shop there’s an area to study, eat, or lounge in until your next class.

2. DePaul Center (Lower Level)

Below the first floor, there are other opportunities to check out from the Esports Gaming Center to the Jarvis Student Center for Innovation and Collaboration along with various classrooms. Here, you may gather in these innovative spaces with fellow students to relax, socialize, game, and study.

3. DePaul Center (11th Floor)

Located on the top floor of the DePaul Center is the Loop campus cafeteria – Blue Demon Dining Hall, along with offices such as the Office of Veteran Affairs, Student Center, Activities Board, the Commuter Lounge, and University Ministry. Primarily the floor is for students and staff to gather, study, eat, and relax before or after class.

4. CDM Center

Another excellent location for students to take advantage of in the Loop would be the CDM (Computing and Digital Media) Center filled with useful resources such as a Tutoring Center, computer labs, Loop fitness gym, classrooms, and more! This college building provides well-maintained technology for students to use for projects, assignments, and studying allowing for effective and productive work.

5. DePaul Center (10th Floor)

DePaul’s Loop campus library is on the DePaul Center 10th floor allowing students a spot to accomplish any sort of work. With librarians present to provide support, thousands of resources from books to technology, and dozens of study spots sectioned off in regards to noise level, getting schoolwork, projects, and studying done will be smooth and undisturbed.

Take a tour of the Loop campus!

Colleges your child crossed off the list after visiting, schools that moved up on the list. Why? (NO REPLIES)

A post was merged into an existing topic: Off-Topic Discussion from “Colleges Crossed Off List or Moved Up After Visiting”

Reminder that this is a no reply thread! Please use the off-topic discussion spin off thread if you’d like to comment about someone’s visits/impressions. Thank you.

SKIDMORE–WAY DOWN. My city-loving kid basically had an allergic reaction to this lovely little school. He desperately wanted to leave the tour “discreetly” halfway through. I thought that might happen and tried to dissuade him from the visit in the first place. This is not the school for a kid who gets his energy from urban areas. It’s sweet, small, and in a beautiful bucolic settling. Grassy hills etc. Had a real private high school vibe. I was bored too, but we did finish the tour. We skipped the info session.

PARSONS – SAME. Loved the NYC location, not totally thrilled with the breadth of classes on offer. This visit helped us see that we needed an art & design school set in a larger university.

NYU: – SAME. Loved NYC location, not thrilled with art classes on offer. Plus S24 wisely realized that classes would not be as attractive as the city itself and focusing on schoolwork would be very hard.

PRATT – SAME. See issues with Parsons.

WASHU – WAY UP. Love at first site. Brand new city (S24 loves a new city), gorgeous buildings, amazing art and design school (kids and professors so so cool) and plenty of opportunity to minor in business, physics, and French. Kids there were so impressive and kind. We just had a GREAT visit. We hadn’t known this school was so amazing for art kids but it is.

Tufts – DOWN. Boston too familiar. Didn’t seem like a big enough adventure. Loved the campus though and I thought the kids were wonderful. Though (sadly) I’m not the one attending…

DePaul University–same/up. Specifically, we toured only the Loop Campus because D26 is possibly interested in pursuing a degree in Film. We are already very familiar with DePaul in general and the Lincoln Park campus because D22 is there! D22, while not majoring in anything that DePaul is really known for (which I would say is Film, Animation, Theater, Business, Music) is very happy there.

The Loop campus is right downtown in the Loop, obviously. And it’s not a real campus, but rather a few tall buildings with DePaul flags hanging outside (similar to NYU). DePaul runs shuttles between the two campuses, at night anyway, but lots of students just take the L (and students are provided a metro card every quarter). We stopped off in a finance classroom where we were told that DePaul has a $48,000 subscription to Bloomberg something or other (sorry, not a finance person), but DePaul kids have access to for free. Film students take classes at Cinespace (DePaul provides shuttles) and they can observe actual work taking place there (The Bear!).

The only real negative we noted was that we didn’t see groups of kids hanging out together. But D22 assured us that at the Lincoln Park campus they do. Also, it happens to be the first day of spring quarter, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

Another positive is that the tour group appeared to be ethnically quite diverse, all races represented, none dominated. This is reflective of the student makeup at DePaul, I’m pretty sure.

Anyway, if D26 remains interested in film, she will likely apply. It is both a pro and a con that her big sis is here!

Colby: UP. Really stunning campus, even during a particularly gray February. Gorgeous view from the top of the hill. The opening information was underwhelming, but our tour guide was outstanding–frank, charismatic, seemed deeply committed to & excited about the campus community. I had thought this school might feel too preppy/jockish for my blue-haired kid, but he liked it a lot. Our guide was a government + education double major, and he has had research published with a professor, studied educational philosophy in Copenhagen during J-term (paid for by Colby), and had 2 cool summer internships in Boston. The school seems open to & responsive to student voice–they recently started putting first-years in their own dorms, in response to student surveys.

Bowdoin: UP. A smaller & cozier campus than Colby. Great admissions presentation that actually gave useful, Bowdoin-specific info about how students should approach their application. Another outstanding guide–he was so excited & curious about everything the school offers & the chances he’s had to try new things. Again, I thought this school might be a little too cool/preppy for my quirky kid, but our guide was so lovably nerdy that we were both won over. Both of these schools are major financial & academic reaches, obviously, but they will stay on the ‘maybe’ list for now.

Vassar: SAME (but good). I expected that we would love this one & we did. Beautiful campus, super-friendly & quirky students, school feels like a bubbled arboretum but is walking distance to restaurants. Close-knit house system appealed to my shy kid, who asked as soon as the tour ended, “So, is there like a merit scholarship I can win for this one?” (Nope, sorry, kiddo). We’ll see how much interest he has in doing reach applications after he finishes his likely/target apps. He felt that the Vassar students were “his people” much more so than Bowdoin/Colby (more people who looked like they might play D&D).

Bard: UP for me, DOWN for kid. We saw this immediately after Vassar, and the campus was much less manicured and the admissions office much less organized. (We had 3 tour guides leading a group of about 50–why didn’t they split us into 3 smaller groups??) They took us into very few buildings (no library stop?), which was too bad. But the more the guides talked about their school, the more I appreciated Bard’s specific educational vision. They build community among their first years by having them spend 3 weeks on campus in August taking a writing class & then coming back early from December break to do a citizen science project. Before declaring a major, every student has to write a paper about their journey to/interest in this major & present it to a panel of professors for approval. Every student writes a senior thesis, supervised & supported by a faculty member. The school takes such a deliberate approach to crafting thinkers & scholars & providing a high-touch learning environment–I was super-impressed. So what if their landscaping budget is smaller than Vassar’s. DS liked it but didn’t love it–he wasn’t sure he would fit in with the students, but couldn’t really say why. Will probably apply, though–he wants a small school in the northeast, and he needs some good options that are not as reachy as the 3 schools above.

UMass Amherst: WAY UP for me, SAME for kid. This is our in-state school so I wanted us to love it, or at least like it. I loved it–campus with lots of green space, lots of research/individualized opportunities for students who look for them, great food, perfectly adequate dorms. The students in admissions/on our tour were confident and funny and smart and clearly loved their school. The price is right. I’m totally sold. Kid is nervous about finding their people in such a big school (it did NOT help that we drove by a group of young men with their shirts off drinking giant beers in their front yard at 10am). But he will definitely apply–we will probably try to go back in the fall & visit some of the specific departments/clubs he’s interested in, to help him get his head around it a little bit more.

Reminder of mod note posted earlier.

Visited during our spring break so it was pretty quiet on campus. First stop was Lincoln Park. My daughter really loved the campus and surrounding neighborhood. She tends to like the schools in cities rather than on their own. The tour seemed fairly basic to me but the information session afterward was very good. I really like that DePaul is on a quarter system that starts in early September and a six week break starts right before Thanksgiving. This will be helpful for students that have to travel from a distance. My D also feels the faster pace of a quarter system will keep her in check. I wanted to check out the cafeteria food but it was closed for spring break. After this tour my D felt like the school had moved higher in her rankings.

Next day was a tour of the Loop Campus. My D will be taking classes here too as she wants to do accounting/finance. First we met with the head of the accounting honors program. She was super sweet and explained the program. Basically they are taking the same classes as regular accounting/business but will be in a smaller cohort. They also have special activities just for them such as having an event with the large accounting firms close to the beginning of school. They also do a community event with the large firms. What a great way to get their face out there in a more relaxed setting. They are assigned an upper classman accounting honors mentor and also an DePaul accounting alumni mentor. We also got to talk to a current student who is an accounting honors and double majoring in finance. He explained how the two are easier to double major than some other majors as they share several of the same required classes. He also stated that he was able to do regular honors on top of the accounting honors. My D will now apply to regular honors as she was afraid it would be too much work to do both but the student changed her mind. The honors also get to be housed in one of the better dorms so that is a plus as well.

We then toured the loop campus. It is mainly housed in the one building down town. Great tour as our tour guide was very enthusiastic and you could tell he enjoyed his time at DePaul. The building has good security and you have to sign in to get up to the different floors. We had taken a train from the Lincoln Park campus to the Loop campus and it was an easy trip. They did say late classes after 5 could be accessed by a shuttle. They also have a cafeteria on the loop campus but you could easily walk to restaurants nearby. After the second tour my daughter was very excited about DePaul. She could definitely see herself there and loved Chicago.

D26’s first college visit. I wasn’t there (my sister took her) so this is a summary of a phone call.

Oregon State : UP (an achievement in itself, since she went in with high expectations). The campus and academic buildings struck her as pretty, “scenic,” and the right size to be easily walkable while also having plenty of everything. The students she talked to said that class sizes for them had been on the small side or at least manageable. She liked the idea of going to a biggish school with lots of opportunities but not with huge intro classes like the UC her brother attends. She commented that people she met seemed friendly and considerate, and she was very impressed that “while we were standing around distracted near a line, three different people asked politely to make sure we weren’t getting cut in front of.” She liked the overall vibe and could see herself going there and making friends.

The honors college seemed attractive to her, she liked how the honors thesis is “not necessarily a giant research paper, and could be something different from your major,” she also liked the honors student lounge area and of course the free printing (I remember S23 was impressed by that honors college benefit too, which honestly I think is sort of funny!)

She liked the student experience center which is “big and lovely inside, actually all the buildings we went inside were nice,” and which has a place where you can do art projects for fun like making pottery, and you can even check out a kit to make things, and “it doesn’t cost anything except for the materials you used.” She also liked the gym, “it was big and nice and doesn’t cost anything either” (I’m not sure why she expected everything to cost money, but anyway she kept mentioning how many things were free)

My D26 just returned from her first college visit too (excluding those she was dragged on with her older brothers)! In our case, it was Marquette.

D26 is seriously considering a direct admit nursing program and Marquette has such a program. As we set out, I was a little worried bc D was grumpy about the early start on her last day of spring break and fell asleep in the car on the way there. Plus, rain was forecast. Despite that, Marquette went UP.

We started with a department (nursing) tour, which was nearly private. Just one other family. The nursing advisor who gave the tour was outstanding. Warm and friendly without feeling forced. My D even commented to me that she really liked her. We got a ton of good information about the program, and my D seemed to perk up.

Next was the general info session and tour. My D actually wanted to skip it, but I convinced her that seeing the whole campus (dorm, cafeteria, etc.) was important. At the welcome center, the kids were given a surprisingly nice Marquette t-shirt and canvas tote filled w/ literature. There was also a screen that scrolled through a welcome message to each visiting student by name and state (mostly midwest and California). Finally, admissions thoughtfully placed students with tour guides based on areas of interest or potential major which they confirmed upon arrival. Gold star for this individualized approach and swag!

The info session was fairly standard. My D did not vibe with the AO who was giving the presentation – she was pretty over-the-top bubbly (like physically bouncing). But our tour guide was impressive. She was a senior nursing student and individualized the tour for the group.

The campus was fine, but nothing to get too excited about. Unfortunately, it was still spring break so almost no students. Plus it was chilly and overcast (although the rain held off until the drive home). There is a major city street that divides the campus into an academic quad and residential quad/area. So there is some green space despite being an urban campus. There is a lot of new building on campus – including a new nursing building, rec/wellness center, and center for student success, all coming soon. Much of the architecture is pretty modern, so low on the Harry Potter scale. But it’s in a pretty decent location in Milwaukee - centrally located and felt safe to me (although we are city dwellers in a much larger city so used to an urban environment).

All in all, a good school starting point for D

Santa Clara University - same. DC has been admitted so we went to visit. This is a tough one. It is a great school. The campus is beautiful, everyone we met was nice, there was a lot of activity around - it all seemed great. But nothing wowed DC (or me). It was all kind of blandly nice. The neighborhood seemed fine - upperclassmen in houses and apartments right off campus, a few stores and restaurants in walking distance, driving distance to so many amazing places. I had really wanted DC to fall in love with it, but overall it was just fine. It stays on the list but it didn’t jump to the top.

DD is close to making her decision, and I found this thread very helpful as we went through the process so I’ll add ours- these visits stretch back a year, when we started looking- We are in MD and have a very undecided dd- only initial requirements were not too big and not too cold. We are also full pay so prioritized schools that have at least some chance of merit.

Dickinson- UP-this was our first visit and we both really loved this school- the campus is pretty, the learning environment (classrooms, facilities, library) all seemed really nice. She loved the athletic complex. It was pouring rain for our visit but our guide was great- her love of the school came through and she also spoke about students being involved in lots of things which was appealing. Carlisle is charming- just the image of a perfect small college town. We went back just recently for a second walk through on a sunny day and impressions were confirmed, I think this may be the one she picks.

College of Charleston- DOWN-Heading into the process this was dd’s first choice, we have spent a lot of time in Charleston and the area around and it seems like it would be a great place to go to school. Our tour was really good and the campus is lovely. I think as time went on dd started thinking she really wanted a true liberal arts environment- she got the sense that at this school everyone goes in knowing what they want to study (the other students on the tour were all confident about business- turned her off a little). We both were also concerned about housing- the housing we saw was not great, and it sounds like it is only guaranteed for a year- I know the Charleston housing market is tight so that seemed like a challenge. Also concerns about Greek life there. Stayed on the list (and near the top actually) but probably won’t be the one she picks.

Coastal Carolina- DOWN we just did a walk around campus, not an official tour. The campus is pretty, the baseball/softball facilities impressive- sort of overshadow the school actually. She did not like the location at all- just sort of plopped in the middle of nothing. She didn’t apply.

UNC Wilmington- DOWN Another school that we just walked around, campus is pretty, Wilmington seems nice. She did not like that the campus wasn’t really walkable to Wilmington- busy roads surrounding it. Also wasn’t sure about being out of state here. Didn’t apply.

Elon- UP for me, down for dd. I was pretty blown away by Elon- the buildings and facilities seemed amazing (the tv studio! Engineering building!). The facilities really seemed high quality. Our tour guide had done a lot of impressive things as far as internships away from campus. DD did not like the remote location/lack of town.

W&M- UP We both loved this school- the campus is stunning, Williamsburg seems like it would be fun to have next door. The traditions, learning environment, other students- all made a great impression. Remained very high on the list, but not high enough to apply ed- she was rejected rd round.

Gettysburg- UP I loved this one, the campus is lovely and compact. Our tour guide was charming and the students seemed happy and engaged. I really liked what he said about the campus food, and the housing options seemed good. I like that rush doesn’t happen until sophomore year. The town is cute (although we liked it a bit less than Carlisle)She got great merit. I think I liked it more than she did.

University of Delaware- SAME- We liked this school and I think it has a lot to offer. If she had decided she wanted a bigger school I think this would have been a good choice. Some concerns about partying/greek life just from students she knows at the school but it’s a big enough place and I’m sure there area plenty of kids who aren’t in that scene. She liked the campus and in town location.

Rhodes- SAME We were excited to tour this one and there is a lot to like here. The campus is very pretty. We visited over their spring break, which was unfortunate as we didn’t see many students but still got a nice sense of the place. It is a true liberal arts school in a city, which is pretty rare- the opportunities of having Memphis right there are neat. The library is gorgeous, the academic buildings (that we saw) seemed very old school- and maybe a little dated. We enjoyed staying downtown in Memphis and went to a Grizzlies game. I was a little put off by the security around the campus- all the fencing and the manned entrances. DD didn’t seem bothered. She didn’t like that the location felt so suburban.

At the end of the process she ended up with a lot of great choices (including a few not mentioned here because either she toured it without me or did not tour at all). I wish she had been a little more flexible about location, I think there are schools in the midwest and New England she would have liked and I think weather aside the southern schools were just not a great fit. But it was fun looking- my oldest got no college tours at all due to covid -

Moscow: City Sightseeing by Car/Bus

• Description
• Choose date

Visiting a new city is akin to going on a first date, it is something you will never forget. Many people imagine Moscow as just a bunch of sporadic landmarks: Red Square, the Kremlin, Lenin’s Mausoleum and GUM. There is so much more to this wonderful city than that and even though we only have a few hours, we will do all we can to show you everything we know and love about our capital in one fell swoop. We will take you on a journey through the ages, from centuries ago, right up to the modern day, soaking in the sights of this vast and bustling metropolis. Bright, luxurious and both ancient and modern at the same time, Moscow invites you on a date you’ll never forget!

On our sightseeing bus tour of the city, you will see:

• The wonderfully historic city centre and its unique museums, magnificent cathedrals, the exquisite Chambers of the Romanov Boyars and of course, the famous towering red brick walls of the Kremlin, The charming beauty of the Alexander Garden awaits the capital's guests - a lush green oasis in the midst of the glass and concrete clad metropolis, basking in the etherial aura emanating from the whitewashed stone walls of the restored Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the world- renowned fairytale onion domes of St. Basil's Cathedral and other impressive monumental buildings such as the library built in Lenin's honour - the Russian State Library - and the State Duma.
• The Lubyanka KGB headquarters is notorious to members of older generations and although nowadays, the face of the secret police has changed dramatically, the looming enigmatic building on the waterfront maintains its aura of mystery, shrouded in a variety of murky rumours and dark myths. Then, there’s another of Moscow's main attractions - the marvellous Bolshoi Theatre, yew simply cant leave Moscow without taking in its breathtaking architecture. Engrained in the fabric of Russia's cultural heritage, virtuoso performers such as prima ballerina Galina Ulanova, opera singer Feodor Chaliapin and pianist, composer and conductor Sergei Rachmaninoff once stood centre stage of this vaunted institution.
• The memorial complex on Poklonnaya Hill was constructed in the glory and honour of our heroes who defended our nation in the many crucial battles of the Great Patriotic War (WWII). This is a place that embodies a particularly acute and inextricable link between older ancf younger generations. Moving on to the Moscow International Business Centre, not dubbed ‘Moscow City' for nothing, a true glimpse of the future in the present. This incredible, rather jaw-dropping project in the capital has shown that Moscow has come to accept the age of the skyscraper. Finally, the stunning views from the observation deck at Sparrow Hills will leave professional and amateur photographers alike itching to capture them. How could one resist?

The most beautiful of all the world's cities - lady Moscow invites you out on a date!

• DebbJ 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Great way to get oriented to Moscow We started our Moscow experience with the hop on hop off. It was a great way to get orientated to the city. The additional optional tours were also good, we did the Metro tour which I highly recommend, we also paid for the Kremlin tour. The hop on hop off has three different lines all included. Only fault was the bus was sometimes full and you had to wait for the next one which was about 15 minutes (in the cold). Read more Written January 6, 2020

• BeverleyT 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat trip - TERRIBLE We got on the bus, but couldn’t buy a 1 day ticket. They suggested we do the 1 hour boat trip and said they would drop us to the dock. 1) they dropped us in the wrong place 2) they were lost because of the marathon Then the boat, after we finally found it: 1) stinking fumes, actually gagging 2) no commentary, in fact, no interaction unless you begged 3) offered us 2 for 1 icecreams as they had melted and refrozen as the fridge gets turned off at night Honestly, we enjoyed the afternoon in the boat but spent all of it laughing at just how awful it was!!! The worst thing in Moscow! Read more Written August 18, 2019
• niruDurbs 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not the best value for the price The ticket is quite expensive and covers three different routes in a 24 hour period. The red route is quite exciting and takes about an hour. The bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes. However the other two routes take about two hours each and buses come every 30 to 40 minute period. If the bus is full then you have to wait at the stop for the next bus. So personally I feel that not much can be seen this way. I definitely was not impressed. However it must be noted that one can learn a lot about the history of Moscow Read more Written July 3, 2019
• IrishCueTravel 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles SLO Motion Not all their fault , but if you plan on trying this Attraction be patient! Traffic is a big problem first and foremost. But to add additional unnecessary delays; the bus stops at each site for 15 minutes at a time or More ! I gave up half way through ( 45 minutes) ; and walked back to the starting point in 10 minutes!

• michael g 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Worst hop on/hop off EVER Waited for 40 minutes in the cold rain for a bus that never came... unacceptable. Traffic is so bad that when on a bus the previos day it was barely moving. My advice-get a subway pass and a good travel guide book and do sightseeing on your own! Read more Written October 24, 2018
• Rebecca J 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Boat element was excellent We purchased a ticket online for the boat and bus for 2 days. The boat element was wonderful, we saw some amazing parts of Moscow along the river side. The bus element was very disappointing as it only started at 10am and was finished by 6:30pm. It was extremely warm when we were there and it would have been great to do the tour in the cool of the day. There was also no air conditioning in the down stairs part of the bus. They also turned away passengers at one of the stops as the bus was full and there was not another bus for 40 minutes. Read more Written September 26, 2018

• Peter F 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Two Routes There is a short red route which depending on the traffic takes about an hour. The route is generally around the Red Square area. The ear phones were small and sometimes the commentary did not link up with the sites you were seeing. The green bus takes you on a longer route and ours took two and a half hours due to the heavy traffic. I would not recommend this trip unless it is raining or you want to fill in time. The sights we saw were nothing outstanding with plenty of time at certain stops for photos. Also the driver stop for a bite to eat at one stop. Read more Written July 30, 2018
• Bernardo P 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Boat Trips Moscow, Russia Yesterday, I booked a boat trip with the GetYourGuide.com web page and was totally horrible, didn’t have audio guide as it shows on the picture-Nobody Talk-. The girl on the picture-light blue bag-ask for 100 Rubles for show her the QR Code while I had the Booking and PIN number cause she must see the vessel name-Didn’t say nothing and after she said board any vessel. I suggest take the trip and pay on site, avoid fake internet pages, there are many other services with a lot of entertainment, don’t take this ones. Read more Written July 14, 2018
• Kathrynowl91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Good way to see some sites We usually do these tours when we travel. They get you round and you see the sight . The traffic is quite heavy so it is a bit slow but there is not a lot they can do about it. We only did the red route. Just a note people don’t queue here when the bus comes it’s a bit of a free for all. Read more Written July 13, 2018
• Daniyal91 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Was Ok.! Started our tour of moscow from here, We had got the 2 Day Pass with the boat ride. The route and the map was good but not well managed. The bus didn't stop at many points. Were were unaware a couple of times at what point we were and missed them. Headphones and maps were provided. Would recommend one should check out the route map before going and decide which places to stop in advance, this way one can manage and enjoy the tour more and us it more effectively.! The boat ride was Ok, a little crowded. No guide provided, just a boat ride with restaurant service Read more Written July 12, 2018
• WilliamDyer 0 contributions 1.0 of 5 bubbles Poor service on boat and too many waiting times on buses For the price, you should expect at minimum English speaking tour guides with decent experience, but at least in my case that did not happen both in buses and boats. And in the boat even tough we were 90% English speaking tourist at least, the tour guide spoke 95% of the time in Russia, and only 3 sentences in English, I really counted how many times she spoke in English. And at the end she asks us if we have any questions? Of course I told her I couldn’t ask her anything since I didn’t understand 95% of what she was saying. The boat tour is not worth it, just take the bus that would be my advice. Second minus is the waiting times, in the boat they made us wait an hour before it departed, and in many stops with the buses waiting times of 20-30 minutes. I actually think I lost that day around 2 hours doing nothing. Be careful. Read more Written July 10, 2018
