Worth every penny - Great bus tour! Ticket lasts 24hrs which is ideal in York. Takes you to all the major drop off points and you get to hear about this old city. Staff friendly and welcoming

Fun and interesting - We love a bus tour and this was a fun way to see the city & learn a bit more. Chris our guide was interesting and funny. We did it on the last day of our trip so we could mop up anything we hadn’t seen.

Fabulous way to see York - It was mine and my partner’s first visit to York on the 22nd May, and we decided to try the sightseeing bus. I’d looked it up online and saw it goes around all the main places of interest, which was perfect for me as I can’t walk too far. The bus is open top, with a covered section too, and there’s the option to sit downstairs. There’s an automated voice giving historical info along the way, which was really interesting. When we got back on the bus after visiting The Shambles, there was a young man on the top deck giving a live talk — he was brilliant! Full of energy and really brought the stories to life. He had to get off later on as he was heading home, but we were really glad we caught his part of the tour. It was also really handy that there’s a stop right outside The Milner, where we were staying. All the staff we spoke to were lovely and helpful, including the friendly lady with the Irish accent outside The Milner, and the staff near the gallery too. The price was fair, especially as you can hop on and off as much as you like. Definitely recommend it if you’re visiting York!

Excellent service and amazing experience - I got the bus at the starting point (Exhibition Square), and did one full tour, before re-starting and getting off at the Shambles. The tour was very informative and Maisie (I think?) a fun tour guide. I think our driver's name was Sean, thank you to both and I'm sorry I forgot to get some cash for a proper tip beforehand.

Would have loved it! - I didn't manage to do the trip as I ran out of time, the York races had started on the day I was supposed to do this so I will have to come to York again a do the trip next time.

Great for families or solo travelers looking to learn the deep history of the city! - This was a great way to learn the history of York. The hop on-hop off feature was great to allow for getting off at locations you were interested in and then coming back to finish the rest of the tour. The staff was very friendly. I only wish there had been a walking tour option as well included.
