See this tourAn island tour is a drive: a coach, minibus or car collects you at the cruise pier and drives the length of the island, stopping at the sights on the way. A drive of four to six hours reaches both ends of the island, with stops of ten minutes to an hour.
If you searched for a Bermuda shuttle tour, this is what the phrase buys: the pink buses, the Titan coaches and the smaller vans that run from the pier across the parishes and back. The usual stops are Gibbs Hill Lighthouse, a South Shore beach, Hamilton and St. George's. The private car does the same with your group alone.
A drive is the one way for you to see the Dockyard, the South Shore, Hamilton and the UNESCO town of St. George's in a single day, without planning your own ferries and buses.
The Titan highlights drive costs $66, with a ferry ticket back to the Dockyard in the fare. The pink buses cost $80.
Irina O. called it a quick way to see every main sight and then choose where to go back. On a two-day call that is exactly what the first morning is for.
The coaches keep you cool, and on the Titan drives you get restroom stops built in.

For a group of seven or more the car costs a little more per head than a coach seat and lets you set the order. For two, the coach is the better value. The other private options are on the Bermuda private tours page.
Four hours by coach to the lighthouse grounds, two South Shore beaches and St. George's, then free time in Hamilton and the ferry to the Dockyard.
