Customer Reviews
10 minutes (or less) from the Radisson Edwardian hotel - open top hop on hop off your bus. Driver was really friendly as advised us that as over 60 - our tickets would be £8 each - valid for 2 days. We went on a Sunday - they didn’t operate Monday and Tuesday but we were allowed to use them on the Wednesday 👍. Trip takes around 1.5hrs and had English commentary. You take in the views along with seeing the sectors of China City, the Pride quarters, old Trafford football stadium and much more…. Treat yourself . There are many photos …. Can’t remember exactly what everything is but the archive of both old and new is amazing and there is a lot of it going on .
We sat on the upper deck near the back of the bus. Sadly the bus makes such a noise and goes too quickly that you can’t actually hear what the recording is saying. It was great to see some of the sights of Manchester but we got on knowing nothing and came off knowing very little. Not worth £15 per person but nice to sit outside on a sunny day.
This is the worse sightseeing bus that I have ever been, and I have been in many. This is the first time I have felt compelled to write a review for a sightseeing bus, but it was so bad that I had to make this review. I took this bus unfortunately in Manchester on October 2, 2025. The driver was the unfriendliest person, in a really bad mood, with curt responses, not even when directly asked about the times for pick up. He pretty much told us the wrong time. The times for the pick up in between stops were huge so it was a lot of waiting time in between sites. Idk if there are more busses going around but for us was always the same driver, so it looked like it was only one bus going around. The bus was old, and the explanations were done aloud with bad speakers so it was difficult to understand. Specially for someone that English is not their first language and are paying for a guided tour for obvious reasons. They don’t provide earphones with explanations translated in different language. Overall the experience was really bad. Don’t waste your money on this. I ended taking an uber to get back to my hotel because the waiting time was unbearable..
