Rainy Day, bus was awesome and informative - Even though it was a very stormy day we were covered and dry except when we got off. The headphones were great informative and funny.

Great way to see Bath, getting an overview and the starting platform to explore further! - We only had 24 hours in Bath and we were with my partners family who needed the tour translated into French. This was a great way for us to see everything and also to learn more about Bath's history in that time. The tour was fun and the route was figured out well! We specifically liked the story about Queen Victoria - no spoilers!

Excellent service that we recommend to anyone. - We enjoyed both the City Tour and The Skyline Tour. The commentary was excellent. I found your instructions for redeeming the voucher were inaccurate. Corridor 12-99 does not exist. All that was necessary was for the bus driver to scan the QR code which produced the tickets.

Open Top Bus Tours - The information on the recorded commentary. I learned things I never knew about Bath. Only downside was I had to share my friends headset as mine wasn’t working on the City Tour bus. I tried a second seat to see if it was the Jack but it must have been the headset. On th Ed Skyline Tour no issues at all. Now another friend is going to do this based on our recommendation.

Good way to see the sites in Bath - Overall, it was a pleasant experience and it allows you to see a lot of the sites in Bath within a small period of time. The timetables are a bit long sometimes and can take you 30 minutes to catch a bus. One time we were standing at a stop and the bus didn't even attempt to stop for us. I would still recommend this to anyone visiting Bath and want to see all the main points of interest.

Overpriced and Don't Book Ahead - The day I visited was Bank holiday and the directions for where to redeem my voucher for my ticket were invalid as the agency I was being directed to was nowhere to be seen and after a while I figured out it was probably inside the Guild Building which was closed because of the holiday! This was a stressful start and I had to return to the bus and found fortunately one driver would accept a bar code I had previously printed out. I did not have enough time in Bath to make full use if this ticket which allows for 2 bus tours and so I found it very expensive for what I got from it. I should not have booked it ahead from in Australia before my trip.
