If you’re touring with them for more than one day, your ticket must be used across consecutive days, and the date you select at time of booking should be the first day of your tour. Some tours also require you to select a time of travel, to guarantee your seat. If your ticket includes extras, you may also need to book additional dates & times for all elements of your ticket after your purchase is complete. ### How will I know where to get off? The commentary or guide on your bus will announce hop-off stops as the bus arrives at each location, allowing you to hop off at your leisure. ### What is the child ticketing policy?
