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.
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.
Awesome place!
The bus trip is good value and a good way to get an overview. There are audiotapes in different languages for commentary. Our first trip was spoiled by a live guide who got on and stood at the front of the bus up top right in front of us blocking our view, plugged his microphone in and began live commentary. His accent made his English hard to follow, he big-noted himself and mocked our Australian nationality which we found offensive. We stayed on to see the sights but later in the day we repeated the circuit without a live guide. It was much better.
Town is small and walkable waste of money to purchase bus ticket not a good value.
We were only in York for a day, and felt seeing the city on this hop-on, hop-off bus was the most efficient way to see the highlights. The live guide, and also the recorded tour, were very interesting. This was clearly very popular, and it was sometimes difficult to squeeze back on the bus if we had gotten off at big tourist site.
A great way to see an overview of the City and then decide which bits you want to go back to. Drivers helpful and informative. Would definitely recommend this tour and try other cities as well.
