We booked to do the city tour and it was such a surprise that our tickets covered both the city and the skyline tour so we did both. I loved how you could just get off and on when ever you wanted and the tickets lasted 24 hrs so you could use it the next day if you were staying the night. I would definitely recommend.

I booked online and had no issues. The drivers were all very friendly and extremely helpful. It was great to have a few hours been driven around. Bath has some steep streets so the bus was very welcome.

Ticketing experience on line was easy. The bus drivers were all wonderful and very helpful. The only issue was some places missed due to road closures but this wasn't the company's fault and they did give warnings.

It was easy buying tickets and finding the bus stop. The skyline route was nice because it showed Bath from a different angle. It was nice though because it was a very hot day and the breeze was welcoming.

Convenient way to see some key tourist spots and buildings. It gave us opportunity to stay in some areas as long as we wanted to or less than usual, and then just pop back on the next bus.

We had such a lovely time on the open-top bus in Bath. It took us past all the main sights—like the Royal Crescent, the Roman Baths, and Pulteney Bridge. The commentary was really interesting, and it gave us a great sense of the city’s history. Highly recommended!

This tour was the perfect way to kick off our weekend. We hopped on right outside the train station and did the full loop before deciding where to stop. It’s a relaxed and scenic way to see the city, especially from the top deck. Booking through OpenTopBusTour.co.uk was simple and quick.

Took our two kids on the open-top bus tour in Bath and they loved it! We all learned a lot from the audio guide, and it was so much easier than walking with little ones. The views from the top were lovely, especially along the countryside route.

If it’s your first time in Bath, don’t miss this tour. It’s affordable, well-organised, and gives you access to so many highlights. We loved the skyline route that takes you outside the city centre for incredible views.
