Informative and enjoyable York bus tour - I'm a little late in writing my review, but tidying up once home from our travels i've come across my reminder. We were in York for only a couple of days earlier this month and with limited time, the Hop On Hop Off bus was essential for us to see the city well. It has to be said it was the best bus ride ever, simply because of our guide. Adam was knowledgeable, humourous, friendly and welcoming. He had a great rapport with both the driver and passengers, making it an entertaining, informative and enjoyable time on board. Highly recommended!

The way to see York. - A great experience, from the staff who sell the tickets to the fantastic tour guides. Mark is a brilliant tour guide, full of history and knowledge, Maisie was a fantastic personality, but all tour guides were knowledgeable. The drivers are also good and very safe. We can't wait to experience this bus tour again. Richard and family.

Entertaining and educational - Numerous visits to York but the first time we did the tour bus and have to say it was educational interesting funny and entertaining. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and pointed out lots of interesting places and relayed many good stories - thank you. His humour made the journey. It was great too the way he interacted with the driver informing him that people were getting off. Well worth the money and we definitely learned a lot despite having visited numerous times previously. Loved the idea that it was commentary which made it more personal and not ear phones ! Thank you

Overall very enjoyable - Excellent views and commentary. The knowledge of the guide was brilliant and humerous. Unfortunately the trip was slightly spoilt by two people talking on their phones which made listening to the commentary difficult.

A nice and quick tour of York - The guide (Tom) was very good at explaining all of the interesting points on the tour, and made it very entertaining. The tour route was good, and a decent price for using the bus for 24hours once your ticket has been scanned

Bus ignores multiple stops - Twice passed the 10 Barbican Centre stop without stopping, although the stop is designated as such!
