Booked for April 2020 but was cancelled due to Covid and wouldn’t refund money,issued voucher to use in 2021.Now informed that they won’t honour existing booking as they’ve put price up by £150 ???????? so have refunded original money.Have kept my money for over a year to help their business survive but now increased the price by about 80% and don’t want to look after existing bookings.Shocking way for a company to act so avoid them at all cost.Contact Liverpool taxi drivers via social media who will look after you at a fraction of the cost with a professional service. Brit Movie Tours are greedy and unprofessional !!!

It was my first trip to Lake Districts and I absolutely loved it. Gerry is very friendly, kind and knowledgeable person. He knows Lake District like the back of his hand. Although it wasn't the best weather to see the lakes but he made sure that we visit as much as we could. It's still wonderful no matter how the weather was like. I will definitely come back one day. Would rate it 6 stars if I can :)

What a great day out. Travelled with a friend on the North Wales/Chester trip in September. From boarding the coach in Manchester to arriving back, we were fed history, myths, legends, jokes and music from our excellent guide Darren. He was so informative, even including history of Manchester and it’s music.The coach was clean and comfortable, the places we visited were stunning. We will definitely use Rabbies again, small group tours an added bonus.

There’s an old Welsh saying; “the best shortage is a shortage of words”. And we can understand why. Because when you travel through Snowdonia, the beautiful mountains leave you speechless. The Welsh castles’ battle-torn passageways are simply indescribable. And a lot of the destinations are as unpronounceable as they’re unbelievable. So, on this trip, we let you discover the elusive beauty of Wales. You enjoy the poetic landscapes and harbour towns that inspired Dylan Thomas, you venture through the inexpressibly beautiful valleys of two of Wales’ famous national parks, and you take in the history of Chester, an English town that sits by the border. Let the sights speak for themselves and join our tour of North Wales and Chester.

This was my first adventure trip with busybus and it was really a great experience. If you book, try to ask for Adrian. He is an amazing tour guide and the best entertainer with loads of knowledge about history n geography(he also knows a lot about witchcraft hahaha). No matter you travel solo or with family, this trip will be the best experience and busybus will take care of all the important stops.

The guide was very good, was on time, had abundance of information, amazing narration style combined with sound effects too. However, the trip was all transportation there wasnt enough time to appreciate anything, Hawkhead village was not necessary, also we signed up for something we didnt get which is Lancaster which kind of put me off.
