Wonderful Tour - What a wonderful experience. Well worth doing if going for a long week-end. Loved the history of the place and it is such a beautiful city. Would thoroughly recommend.

Professional and friendly - I went through the whole city and it was fun. Did it twice and although it was quite cold I could smell the linden trees from the top of the bus, which was very pleasant. Drivers were very friendly and pointed out toilets and even waited for me.

Wonderful Sight Seeing Tour of Cambridge - A wonderful bus trip around Cambridge with our experienced driver. The provided recorded cometary while travelling along some of the narrow streets highlighting the 31# colleges that constitutes the university of Cambridge was so very informative. Sitting on the top deck of the bus allowed us to view the full splendour of the sights we passed.

Great day out in the sunshine - We found the commentary excellent, very informative, an ideal way to visit a very busy city. My husband has a disability and as we wanted to go up on to the top deck of the bus we were very pleased that the driver waited until we had got seated before departure.

Lovely day out around the city - Have lived in the city for 20 years and never been on the Hop-On-Hop-Off-Bus. My 12 year old niece was visiting from the USA so we took the bus and had a great day out around the city. She loved sitting on the top deck seeing the city from a height, trying to dip under the leaves of the trees flying over our heads and watching students in their graduation gear. Stopped off to climb Great St Mary's Tower, eat ice-cream, see the Egyptian collection (and the mummy) at the Fitzwilliam museum, have tea at a local cafe, visit the American cemetery. We missed out the lovely Botanic Garden as been there before. The great thing about the ticket is it lasts 24 hours so also used it the following morning to get us to the railway station for a train to London - a huge thanks to Amu (maybe Amo?) our driver who was so kind and helpful with our bag and set our day off to a lovely start.

Good Service - Good service and interesting routes. We parked at the Park & Ride and the Bus Stop is just outside the entrance, so very easy.

A handy way to see the city - Having arrived at Cambridge station I was pleased to find out that the tour bus stops nearby (down the road to your left as you exit the front of the station) because the station is a mile and a half from the city centre, which saves a long walk if you don't know where you are going. We (me and my pensioner aged Mum) waited at the bus stop which said the buses were every 20 minutes. We waited longer than that though, so don't set much store by the timetable, as it seems to be rather erratic. It is however a very handy way to see the city, including the American Cemetery which is on the outskirts, so is a good way to get out there. We did one full round trip in order to decide the best place to get off to explore the city centre on foot. The ticket for an adult costs £17 and a concession is £14, but it lasts 24 hours from the time of purchase and you can hop on and off as much as you like, and it also gets you a discount on other buses operated by the company in other cities (London, Edinburgh, York and Bath are a few examples) and also gets you discounts at attractions in the city, although personally I didn't take advantage of that particular offer. If you have limited time, or are on a first time visit it's a good way to familiarise yourself with the city
