Worth every cent!

Absolutely worthwhile! Great staff (couldn’t be more friendly and helpful), interesting commentary, and excellent value for money. Highly recommended as a quick way to get an overview of the city before you start exploring individual stops.

always worth it.

Really enjoy using this company. I always look to see if they buses in the city when i travel. Was a little disappointed in Stratford-upon-Avon only because they did not mention upcoming stops by number. Minor inconvenience.

Useful start to the day

We bought our tickets at the tourist information office where the first bus stop is situated. The tickets seemed to be better value than advertised. We decided to start our 2 day visit with this tour to gain some information and locate places of interest. Not all headphone sockets were working, but at least they were clearly taped over to avoid sitting in those seats! The audio commentary was really interesting. We sat in the upper deck, but beware of low hanging branches! The circuit lasted about an hour and we chose not to get off as we could walk to most of the venues. This would be a useful way to reach Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, but we chose to drive there the following day.
