We had a brilliant day at these studios yesterday with an excellent guide Katie. It was great to see the familiar sets and be able to take as many photos as we wanted. We were able to go into the replica sets first ,then see the real ones at the ITV studios. I would recommend the tour even if you don't really follow Emmerdale because it is really interesting seeing how programmes are made and sets out together.

Excellent day tour of Yorkshire Dales in comfortable (Covid-safe) minibus with friendly and knowledgable local guide Lee. Got to see so many places that would have been impossible without a car, lots of time to take photos, grab a coffee and have a walk at multiple stops. Great National Park, stone walls, tales of castles and abbeys. Very peaceful and tranquil stops, waterfalls galore! Even a stop at the Wensleydale Creamery to buy local cheese and have a relaxing bite to eat. We even managed a quick stop in the 3rd smallest city in the UK, Ripon, with its medieval cathedral. Breathtaking scenery and the highlight of our week's holiday in York.

I booked the full-day private tour of Haworth & the Yorkshire Dales, and I was lucky to have Mark as the tour guide. He was professional, knowledgeable and he would make sure you have the best experience and that you enjoy the trip. I never felt rushed or that I am missing on something. I applause BOBH for the measures they took to be COVID secure; I never felt that I was risking my health or being unsafe. I highly recommend booking with them, and I am sure you would have a great experience as did I.

We did this ultimate private tour with tour guide Tim. This tour is really worth the money and the convenience of being able to see around Lake district while enjoying our company with Tim. The tour itself was really nice and our tour guide was really knowledgable. He kept us awake throughout our trip and he even took good photos of us. He was friendly and all smiles. The covid restriction was kept in place and there were hand sanitisers inside the van. I have already recommended this to my friends. Well done!

Local Leeds food tour is a great afternoon. Nell has crafted a fab tour. It was a relaxed and friendly tour, it felt like a friend showing me around town. Nell leads you to all of the best eats, supporting indie restaurants and picking food items that are interesting and have a story to share. The tour also combines history of the food and Leeds. After living in Leeds for a year the tour took to me to venues I'd walked past but never tried. And places I'd walked by but never noticed. I loved these venues so much so I went to them again on my own. Highly recommend these tours for locals and tourists alike.

As a newcomer to Leeds we booked this walking tour on our first morning in the city. It was a great introduction to the city - taking us around the city centre and explaining the history of the city as well as special details we would not have noticed or known about without an experienced guide. Tour was small which meant we could ask lots of questions. Appropriate social distancing measures in place - if you are attending remember to bring a mask as you get some great extras e.g. Corn Exchange

I joined the North Wales Adventure with Busy Bus, on 26/9/2020. It was a fantastic day trip through N. Wales and the Snowdonia Park. The places we visited, the scenery we met, the organisation of the trip were brilliant. Frank, our driver and guide was amazing! He made our tour unforgettable! A wonderful man, who loves his job and made us a little Welsh too. I'm looking forward to joining more day trips with Busy Bus. Thank you.
