RECENT REVIEW ON TRIPADVISOR

'Great Fun!”
Reviewed 7 August 2011 4people found this review helpful
We did this trip as part of a weekend away in Durham. The tour around Durham takes half an hour and was a great way to see the city in a unique way. Riding around with the rock music pumping out was great fun for us 'girls' and Mark, our driver, looked the part with his leathers and bandana. He made us feel at ease and took us to see parts of Durham that would have been hard without a car.
