Traveler reviews
A different way to explore the city1
Visited York lots of times, but first time on the tour bus. What a lovely way to see a familiar city from a different angle! The tour guides were brilliant and full of information.

Guide knows many interesting things
Great way to see the sights of York.
We have been on on many hop on/hop off buses around the world and consider this one of our favourites. Adam provided a fun and informative commentary, and the bus stops were well planned out and easy to find. The tickets were good value for money, especially as they are valid for 24 hours so you can use the bus to get around town all day.
Good value for your money
To get in the bus to see the whole outside of the old town is good to give our legs a break. The recording guide gives us a lot of information about the city. Don't forget to get the earphones as you go inside the bus so you can hear the guide better.
Great way to discover York before exploring in greater depth
Excellent tour of the city centre passing a number of York landmark. You can hop and off at will and buses run every 15 minutes 7 days a week and tours (or if you just stay on the bus and do the complete tour then that takes about a hour). Tickets last 24 hours so you can do the full tour then go around again hopping on and off. Friendly staff, excellent driver and a very informative commentary. Thoroughly recommend it
