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: unfortunately part of the skyline was missing due to road works but it was still enjoyable and the drivers were all very pleasant and helpful. 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.

The driver was very helpful and polite. The headphone socket for the audio guide was awkwardly (invisibly) placed and should be on the front panel. We had problems with driver not fully knowing Bath 'spots' to visit and apprpriate stops - a more detailed map might have solved this ((related to Royal Victoria park layout and mini-golf!!)

It was easy buying tickets and finding the bus stop. The skyline route was nice because it showed Bath from a different angle. The in town route was a little tight and kept going down the same streets. I suppose this is due to one way streets which have possibly been added since the route was planned. It was nice though because it was a very hot day and the breeze was welcoming.

The driver was good but the audio was very poor Driver suggested moving seats but by this time we'd missed over half of the commentary and didn't have the time to do another tour Very disappointing

There was a reduced service on the day, we waited an hour at stop B for the last sky line bus that never showed, along with other families. Was not worth the money overall

We were directed to a Green Route bus stop (Forrester Rd ?) which was 25minutes away when the Red Route bus went past our hotel on the crescent. A more informative app giving routes, stops and times would have been more use than the app which required a code which was not easy to find. Sort your app out. The link to the BigBus app did not show services in Bath. London but that was an even further walk thankfully the driver was more help.

Overall, it was an ok experience. The green line talked about some venues that were not visible for all the trees. It would have been nice to go a bit slower around the cresent and circus to get a nicer view. In town on the red route was good, lots of information, so I quite enjoyed that tour.
