Excellent hop on/hop off bus tour. The whole route lasted a little over a hour so we could easily see all the sights first and then go back and explore afterwards. Adam was an excellent guide, he gave a commentary that was funny and informative. Very good value for money too as we hopped on and off the bus during the day visiting all the places we saw from the bus.
Loved jumping on and off the buses today. All the staff were very polite and helpful. Excellent way to explore York, highly recommend 😄
Whenever we go to new cities, on day 1, the first thing in the morning, we take a sightseeing tour bus. My family and I had a lovely day out, even though the weather kept changing: cloudy, rainy, sunny, cloudy, rainy, sunny... Our tour guide that day was absolutely brilliant, MARK. Mark was fantastic—knowledgeable, funny, insightful, and best of all, HELPFUL. Acknowledging our young kids with disabilities, throughout the tour, he helped to point out family-friendly places for us to go during our visit to York. We very much took his advice on at least three places he pointed out, and he was right on the money, so we had a great time while in York. I feel it went better due to his helpfulness. 10/10
A beautiful spring afternoon, sun beaming down, time for a bus tour (rest our feet time) . Was lovely to have a guide at the front telling us about everything we passed. He was super, efficient at his job and knew his stuff. Last part of ride, he'd got off and the recording came over the speaker system. No where near as good and we couldn't always hear it. Tickets are valid fir 24hrs so this morning we were up and out and repeated our tour. Heard every word of the commentary! Bus was much quieter and traffic quieter! Thank you! Feel we more than had our monies worth!
Can't beat an open top bus to see the sights. This was a good tour. Only lasts an hour and shows you anywhere worth seeing. No earphones needed as the speakers on the bus are plenty loud enough. Cost for the 2 of us was £26 and that was valid also for the following day. Obviously, you can hop on and off as you please. Good value for money
