A wonderful way of both finding the lay of the land and discovering a new city. It’s like having your own taxi service on hand. Friendly helpful staff are on hand, and each bus has an ongoing commentary both educational and entertaining.

York UK Hop-On Hop-Off Bus
Greg B
, Sep 2019
After a bad experience in in Stockholm last year my expectations were a bit tempered. I was very pleased with the service in York. It is a nice one hour circuit. They had four coaches on the road, so a 15 minute wait was certainly acceptable. One of the coaches had a live tour guide, the others you could use the audio system. Pleasant drivers and a reliable service. With these types of services one can't ask for more than that. Recommend it to visitors. York is an awesome city and a must see. Only a two hour trip on the excellent Central Line train from Kings Cross in London.

Useful way of seeing York

Would recommend this as a way of getting a sense of what there is to see. Obviously the bus could not pass through the central historic area where streets are very narrow but places like the Shambles were pointed out to return to later. Interesting and amusing commentary on the bus.
