Well worth it to sample Cambridge

We did the bus tour today. The driver welcoming us on board was full of humour. The bus was clean and we had nothing but admiration for the driver's skills negotiating the narrow streets, sharp corners and other traffic. That said some of the streets are rough in parts and two 78 year olds did feel the bumps!! Street and bus suspension at fault!! The commentary was recorded and was clear and comprehensive. The weather was kind. Time well spent.

Good experience we went very fast past some out of town bits though

I really enjoyed the bus, it was very fast on the out of town bit . . There were things like the windmill that i couldnt take photos of coz we went too fast past it and there were quite alot of low trees and i ended up with a handful of seeds in the bottom of my handbag after the journey. . .but all in all, it was an enjoyable experience and very informative.

The best bus ride in Cambridge

John was the bus driver. Not only was John personable but he was extremely helpful with my navigating the town. I highly recommend hop on,hop off bus with John as your driver!! I also thought that John was really cute! Christina Adams

A ride well worth taking.

An excellent way to get an overview of what Cambridge has to offer and which you can then go back and visit at leisure. Our trip was made all the more enjoyable by the good humoured comments of our driver interjected into the recorded commentary (he came from Basildon and our ticket gives his number as 8509066). We’ve visited Cambridge many times over the years, never done the bus tour before, and are very glad we did.
