Well worth doing - This York sightseeing tour was very good and offered a great way to see the city and to get your bearings. Stops at or near most of the popular attractions. The buses are clean and modern. Commentary is not via headphones but provided in a combination of recorded audio and a live guide (the driver) coming through speakers. The 48-hour ticket is good value.

London hop on hop off bus tour - Fantastic service. Regular buses and most of the staff were very friendly and helpful with helping us get to where we wanted and assiting with getting a pram and 2 young children on and off the bus. We got the 2 day tickets. On our last day we had the pleasure of a live tour with Tim who was brilliant. The jokes, his local knowledge and photo tips were appreciated.

Great fun and great value. - Our guide, Rich, gave us a very entertaining and informative tour of York. This one hour tour is a brilliant way to get an overview of York and its history before diving in a bit deeper on foot. Great support team on the ground especially Amarah who sorted our tickets out for us.

Beautiful trip with engaging guide - Very nice way to get to know London and see the most important highlights of the city. It was great to have Tim as the "life" guide, he tells authentic and very interesting stories in a compelling way with a nice sense of humour which added a lot of quality to the tour.

Glowing review for your tour guide Russell - Absolutely fantastic experience on the hop-on hop-off bus tour in York! The driver, Russell, was the star of the show! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the journey an absolute delight. His passion for the history of the area was infectious, and he shared it with such enthusiasm that we were all captivated. What really stood out was Russell's interaction with the passengers – he had everyone laughing and engaged throughout the tour. He's a natural comedian, and his Yorkshire wit reminded me of the one and only Peter Kay 😂! He made the history come alive, and we felt like we were part of a special experience. Russell's expertise and charm made our day, and we'd highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting York. If you're looking for a fun and informative way to see the sights, look no further! Cheers, Russell – you truly made our day unforgettable 🎉👏

Quick and easy way to get around, with plenty of stops and information. - Our tour was amazing, loved the hop on/off so we could explore different areas…..Bob is absolutely fantastic, what a hoot!!! You should have him in charge of tour guide training, he really sounds like he loves doing these tours. Loved the little stops and the information on the history was brilliant.
