Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We had Lee as our guide. With just 14 on the tour, there was good interaction. Lee was attentive and gave valuable information on North Wales. North Wales is beautiful, some parts were especially breathtaking. We really enjoyed the tour. The many photos Lee took and posted on Facebook helped to keep the memories alive. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Liverpool, who wants to spend a day out of the city.

The price for this trip way daylight robbery. Way over the top and very very very bad value for money. Lunch wasn’t even included and there are no entrance fees involved as you are only taken to free entry stops. Disgraceful. We paid €68 each just for a bus ride. Could not recommend it.

Well it had to happen sooner or later, an unsatisfied customer.......The views in the Lake District are not worth seeing, the background information on the charactors associated with the Lake District is not worth hearing, the interaction of the guide is unwanted, BUT you want a free lunch and to be taken to lots of places that require an entry fee to be paid (most likely by BusyBus if you read between the lines).....says it all really.
We are sorry that you didn't enjoy visiting one of the most spectacular landscapes in the UK or the dedication of our guides to give you a great experience along with background history of the famous names of the area, all done at the lowest cost of any day tour operator in the area.

This is a breathtaking trip that everyone NEEDS to experience at least once in their lifetime. The scenery you’re exposed to is unlike anything we have ever experienced before. I could not recommend a better tour than this one.

We sacrificed a KFC Chicken wing to the rain god to give us a good day out. Looks like it worked!

The driver /guide Shelly was BRILLIANT! She was pleasant, fun-loving, knowledgeable and the tour was smooth and informative I’ve been to Liverpool several times and usually leave the day after the match- this time we switched it up From the beauty of the seaside Victorian town to the castle , to the smallest house in Britain, to Snowdon park, to the aqueduct- my month was open in AWE!!!one of the absolute BEST tour I’ve ever taken! Every tour guide should take lessons from her! Please let her k ow on our behalf - that she absolutely made our trip!!

Cool trip. Heard some great stories from our driver Frank and saw some amazing sights, particularly in Snowdonia...what a beautiful landscape! Only thing I'd change is a little more time at the stops, even if it meant skipping a stop like the aqueduct.

But, But, But.....You can't skip the aqueduct!!!! #sob
It is a world heritage site and one of the best to visit in the whole world! Don't take our word for it. Google it!
We would love to spend more time on location, but we are limited by driving hours etc...you know the boring legal stuff!

The old dilemma, bigger bus means not so flexible for choice of route.....we go for the excitement of the small roads and the better views that they can offer everytime!

So I see that you have a shore excursion offer that leaves Liverpool at 8:30 AM, but on the day we're there on the Regal Princess on September 28, we don't dock until 9:30 AM. Do you make any special adjustments for different cruise ship arrival times/dates? Your about.5-hour tour would fit into the in-port time of 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM that the Regal is supposed to be there. Thanks.
All BusyBus shore excursions are coordinated carefully with the ship. The times used at the time of booking are issued a year in advance and are often amended.
Hi Juliana
You can bring luggage with you but during the online booking process please mention in the COMMENTS box: "We will have luggage with us."
You should wear your normal day-to-day all weather shoes or trainers. No special footwear is required. Simply dress to suit the weather.
See you soon!

hi, yes,should not be a problem.there are stops where you could stay in the van,or only walk a few yards,in my tour there was a traveller who stayed most of the time in bus proximity area.some stops you.cam make.the walk as long as you.like.
Hi,
We are hoping to make several trips with you in early May from Chester, where is the pick up point as we are staying in the City Centre travelling from Canada
We took 2 tours with Busybus. Both pick ups at the railway station however first pick up was a van the second was a bus so could be either. There are other tours leaving from here as well.
Hi guys, it was probably one of two places, Grasmere Village or the Market Town of Ambleside.
Do any of those ring any bells?????
Hope you had a wonderful time with the BusyBus Team👍👍👍👍🚌🚌🚌🚌
The BUSY BUS does visit North Wales trip not really sure if it goes to swallow falls But the trip they do to North Wales is excellent really worth a visi
Hope this helpst
The bus seated about 18-20 people. I don't know what the cost would be from Holyhead. We went from Liverpool to Wales, Snowden & Conwy Castle and the cost was SOOO reasonable. We had a REALLY good tour and the guides were very nice and easy to work with. I would contact them for price.
Please send an e-mail to BusyBus (on their website click the "contact us" button) and we'll gladly provide you with tons of information and a quotation.
