Be careful what Viator allows you to book

1.00It was not running but Viator allowed us to book, given I am disabled we have to plan ahead this left us unable to see bits we thought we might see
Use local bus service not this one.

2.00Driver was obviously rushing and driving fast. Stops were ignored ir we were past them before pointed out. The whole experience was a waste of time and money. Change your driver.
An interesting tour

3.00Very friendly guide but difficult to hear the audio. Travelling on the ageing red bus a good experience. A bit more help in locating the starting place for the tour would be helpful.
It’s just a bus ride.

3.00Not much more than an expensive bus ride. It’s just an audio track that plays and the bus goes so fast that you mostly miss it. It goes full speed the whole time. By the time I realized what it was talking about (if i did) the bus was usually past it. Kind of expected a little but more. Also, I was one of three people on the bus.
Great way to see Cardiff

5.00Really good way to see Cardiff and learn about its history. We took our dog and she enjoyed travelling on the top deck!! Useful to be able to hop on and off - we stopped off at Cardiff bay and then travelled back into Cardiff.
AMAZING!

5.00Great way to see Cardiff and learn about the city. The weather was good and so we took advantage of the open upper deck to see above the crowds. View over Cardiff bay was super and the commentary was informative.
Interesting commentary

3.00Good little 45 min trip around Cardiff to see city. Get the early pass if you want to use it to move around the city. The tour is very limited information as it is a taped recording leaving a lot of open time and missed opportunity to share more about Cardiff history and culture.
Excellent tour!
