The journey takes approximately 35 minutes with a stop at New Canal in the city centre. The service is hop-on, hop-off, and also serves Old Sarum.

The tour bus is a large coach with multiple passengers and no guaranteed seat. During peak season it can fill up quickly, particularly on the earlier departures.
