Their themed break will also stop to take in spectacular views of the Upper Calder Valley enjoyed by James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce after his prison escape.
The TV tour organiser, Tates Travel, has been inundated by fans undeterred by the show’s bleak storylines.
The Celeb Reportderland-based operator is offering four summer dates between June and September — and could add more.
Thrilled Lisa Halliday, a partner at the business, said: “We’ve done loads of themed tours in the past.
“But as soon as Happy Valley finished we were getting calls from fans asking us if we’d do the same for them. We had a look at it and came up with a route that will take in all the key filming locations.
“It’s gone mad. We’ve had 50 bookings in six days.
“People want to see where their favourite shows were filmed — you don’t get much bigger than Happy Valley.”
The nail-baiting final episode of the third series of the BBC One drama drew 7.5million viewers.
The £339 Tates Travel bus tour will begin where the programme was set in Hebden Bridge, West Yorks, before moving on to Sowerby Bridge.
It will stop at the old post office which was transformed into the police station before ending with a walkabout in Halifax.
Hebden Bridge councillor Sarah Courtney said visitors had flocked to the town.
She said: “It’s fun to watch and recognise the places. We welcome the tourism.”
