A great way to see York and make the most of your time here, is to use the York CitySightseeing’s open-top buses. Tickets are valid for 24 hours, which means you can take a full tour, find out where everything is, learn some fascinating stuff about this 2000 year old city and then use the buses to get about as you do your own exploring. Some buses have a commentary in nine languages, plus a special commentary for the kids, and in summer others carry a live guide with a fund of facts and quirky anecdotes about their home town.
So, jump aboard. We’ll show you all the must-see sights and give you a unique perspective on the historic ‘Capital of the North’.
York CitySightseeing offers a discount for parties of 10 or more. Many tours each day have wheelchair access. Call us for times.
