Traveler reviews
Friendly staff
Friendly staff, the only thing is when booking both bus and boat, I would advise not to book the 11am sailing as the bus doesn't get to Poole Harbour for that sailing.
Day out
Friendly staff the tour commentary was very informative
Do not waste your money on this service
We tried to stop the bus at a designated stop on two separate occasions in SandBanks, both times the driver ignored us and drove by. We paid for two days travel for two people on the day before but it was a complete waste. Terrible terrible service.
Beautiful Sights from your Bus
Bournemouth and the surrounding towns are beautiful. We took the on/off bus with intentions of just staying on. In 1 1/2 hours we were treated to magnificent views and gorgeous homes. The towns had distinctive feels. Having audio throughout the tour without a need for ear pieces made it much more enjoyable.
Nice Tour of Poole and Bournemouth.
We have done this trip a couple of times when visiting Poole. Nice to see the fabulous houses in Sandbanks. We dream....good tour. Worth a run out.
