Hop Corpus

We stubbled onto this eco-friendly means of transportation as we exited our hotel for some lunch. Anthony, the owner and an operator, which says a lot about knowing how to lead a company by example, greeted us. He also informed us that they work solely on tips. After some talk with both Anthony and the hotel staff we concluded $5.00 to $10.00 tip was about right for these short trips based on the number of people in your party, the distance and if they're waiting or returning for you.Seats: Although, this open eggshell on wheels only seats 5, including the driver. There was more than enough room (leg room too) for everyone. Unfortunately the lack of air conditioning makes it...not the best choice...if you're all dressed up and heading out. In that case call a cab or grab your car from the valet. Tours: Along with being a taxi Hop Corpus also gives tours of the area with a little bit of history tied in. However, that bit of information coupled with a our drive in the hot sun made think it could've used was cup holder and possibly basket/cooler on the back for water bottles and cool drinks. Overall: We found this to be an excellent environmentally friendly way to get around the beach area while also enjoying an uninhibited view to the strip so it's safe to say, I'm a fan - 4 Stars.
