Smiley Sean

Great way to get around the city, drops are well situated. Sean our driver was really friendly and jovial (even though it was race day so the roads were busy) still managed it with a smile and informed us when getting on about the delays due to traffic, thanks Sean. Well worth the money.

Bargain at a fiver

Did the £5 1 hour trip which was really good value. Didn't want/need the hop on off element but doing this gave us an insight into where places were for later in our trip. Bus clean and tidy and both drivers friendly. Would recommend 👍
