Most bad bus-tour days are predictable. Here are the mistakes and the fix.

Fast mistake list

Skipping the full orientation loop
Hopping off at every stop
Ignoring hills and walking load
Planning no weather backup
Leaving no time buffer before evening plans

Replace this with that

Instead of...	Do this...
Random hop-offs	Preselect 3 priority stops
Noon-only photos	Split photos across two light windows
Heavy lunch early	Keep lunch moderate, snack later

The hardest lesson

~~More stops means more value.~~

Reality: better sequencing creates more value than sheer quantity.

One-sentence rule

If a stop is not clearly better than staying seated for one more segment, stay seated.

That rule alone eliminates half of first-day mistakes.
