Where do I board the bus?

The main stop is Silver Street in the city centre, but you can join the tour at any of the 18 designated stops along the route — whichever is most convenient for where you are staying.

Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket is accepted, so simply show your confirmation screen to the driver when you board.

How long does one full loop of the route take?

Departure times and frequency can vary by day and season.

Are there any days the tour does not run?

Yes — City Sightseeing Cambridge will not operate on Sunday 9 March due to the Cambridge Half Marathon. Always check for any additional closures on the operator's website.

Are stops 5 and 6 (Trinity Street and Market Street) always available?

These two stops operate on Sundays only. On weekdays the bus skips directly from Stop 4 (Bridge Street) to Stop 7 (Jesus Lane).

My child is under 5 — do I need to buy them a ticket?

Children under 5 travel free of charge, though they are not entitled to their own seat and will need to sit on a parent or guardian's lap.
