Jersey Bus Tours

About this app

Hop aboard Jersey's original vintage open-top bus and let the island tell its own story.

Jersey Bus Tours Companion is the free app for Jersey Bus Tours - the Channel Islands' only open-top heritage bus experience. It turns your phone into a personal tour guide with an interactive GPS map, 150+ points of interest, fun facts, and hand-picked local recommendations. Everything you need for the perfect day on the top deck.

HOW IT WORKS
Book your ticket at jerseybustours.com, then open the app and enter your booking reference and email address to unlock your tour. That's it — no account to create, no password to remember. Board the bus, press Start, and follow along on the live map with our onboard audio guide as Jersey unfolds around you.

LIVE GPS MAP
The app tracks your position along the route in real time. Watch your progress on the interactive map, see what's coming up next, and never wonder where you are on the island.

DOWNLOAD BEFORE YOU BOARD
This is important — most visitors won't have mobile data on Jersey, and there's no Wi-Fi on the bus. Download your tour content over Wi-Fi at your hotel or the terminal before you board and everything works perfectly offline - maps, images, descriptions, the lot. You must download the app before your tour, once download log in with your booking reference and email, head to the settings tab (bottom right tab) and click Download for Offline. This ensure the app works seamlessly with no internet connection required.

ABOUT JERSEY BUS TOURS
Jersey Bus Tours has been showing visitors the beautiful island of Jersey from the top deck of a vintage Bristol LH bus since 2010. Based at the Esplanade in St Helier, we run daily departures through the season. Whether you're here for a week or stepping off a cruise ship for a few hours, the open-top tour is the best way to see the island.
