York

York Minster and the Shambles Too much time spent waiting on buses. We didn’t get to see all we wanted to see.

CLOSE TO A NIGHTMARE.

I never received the tickets prior to departure. When we arrived in York, the Hop On Hop Off didn’t know anything about this reservation so we had to buy tickets again. On the return trip, the train was packed and we had to stand the entire return journey. This operator likes taking your money, but leaves you completely on your own. STAY AWAY>

Linda cidade

Juliana_V, Sep 2023

A cidade é linda e merece um tempo muito maior, mas se você só tem um dia ( meu caso) super recomendo. Se o seu inglês estiver em dia, pegue o ônibus Hop on Hop off com guia ao vivo! É muito mais legal!
