The guide was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining which made our journey all the more fun. We were also lucky with the weather so able to sit at the back of the open top.

Staff were friendly and helpful once we spotted a bus and they pointed to where the bus would stop and waited for us. The online map of bus stops for York needs to be updated to the paper version handed out on the bus. Inaccurate information online is a problem especially as we both have mobility issues.

The experience was great, and well worth it. We had some really great guides that told us all about the history of York as we were making our way around. This was really interesting. The stops are well placed, and you can catch a bus every 30min. Well worth it, would do it again when we are in York.

Hop on off bus was delayed by 40 minutes, due to 'driver off sick' issue, hence missed timing for our first booking. Able to reschedule it but not enough time to enjoy fully the hop on hop off experience at other stops. However, staff on bus were super great.. thumbs up to them.
