Knowledgeable, convenient

Friendly and extremely knowledgeable guide and driver, a great way to get to know York, and familiarise yourself with the city, and use the hop-on-off service.

I lost my money. Do not use Viator.

We could not find the place to redeem voucher you send via email to me. I asked people around that address ; they said that CITY SIGHT SEEING CO. Is not exist any more. As I emailed back to you, the mail I sent got back to me "mail did not go to Viator'. Pls. Refund my money.

Great bus tour

A way to explore the city in the dry. Best to be on top deck though but was pouring down when we went. Love the history guide very interesting and a bargain if wanting to jump on and off to explore
