Hop-on Hop-off Open Top Bus Tour of York

Join us for a trip around the historic walled English city of York. Founded by ancient Romans with a Viking past, our open top bus tour will give you a panoramic view of this beautiful city.

Sit back, relax and let your driver do the hard work as you explore the cobbled streets, see spectacular sights and hear fascinating facts from the live guide about York Minster, Micklegate Bar, Clifford’s Tower and much more.

There are 20 stops on this tour, and you can hop-on or off the bus at any of them. Why not take the whole circuit, then get off and maybe visit one of the 30 world-class museums? Your ticket is valid for 24 hours or 48 hours from the moment you board the bus, and a full circuit of the 20 stops will take around 1 hour.  

Rainy Day Guarantee:
We are offering you the chance to change the date that you travel with us, if the good old British weather lets us down. We all know that it never rains in York, but if you find that you are unable to enjoy the full benefit of your open top bus tour due to the rain, you can change the date for when your ticket starts. This change needs to take place before 12pm on the 1st day you were planning to travel. Applies to Hop-on Hop-off bus tickets only.
