Highly recommend this tour bus, amazing day experience! - I took my parents who were visiting me from Spain on the tour to the Lake District and it was simply AMAZING. Our tour guide Frank was so lovely, passionate, thoughtful, attentive and taught us many interesting facts and history points throughout the journey. This tour is everything that you could want from a tour. It’s interactive, comfortable, interesting, beautiful and you cover so many different gorgeous spots and places! We took so many pictures and we are looking forward to going onto the next tour with Busy Bus either to Wales or Yorkshire. I definitely recommend them! :)

Good Time in the Lake District - The stone circle was amazing. The time allocated for Grasmere was more than adequate. The drive though the mountains was quite beautiful. The driver’s skill was evident. His history needs to be fact-checked because he got names and relationships wrong. He depended on tapes to fill in the blanks in his narration. He was personable and attentive.

Busybus cancelled my tour - I was booked for Yorkshire dales. I booked hotel and train. Days before the trip it was cancelled by this company. Too late to cancel the hotel and train, would never use Busybus company again.
