Purchased a two day pass and for an initial view of the city it was great. We had a great guide who was very knowledgable. The concept of using the bus for hopping on and off to get around the city is unreasonable due all of the heavy traffic congestion. Best part is that the ticket included the Thames River... More

We enjoyed our tour immensely!one of our tour guides was Nuri and she was just super, so helpful and incredibly entertaining and knowledgeable! The other guides were entertaining too but she really knew her stuff.The part of the tour on the river was a real treat.Great value for money ,the best 60 pounds we spent.would definitely do it again!

Get the pass and hop on and off when you want. A great way to see London and a lot cheaper than getting cabs. Some will have a real person giving tour info over the loud speaker and others will just be the standard headset with your choice of languages.

Arriving at my hotel at 9:00 a.m. after an all-night flight, my room wasn't ready, but they let me store my bags before I headed out to explore the city for the first time ever. Getting a ticket to ride on the top of the open-air double decker tourist bus was the best choice I could have made. Samantha, our... More

WOW! This was an even better experience than anticipated. This company is very well organized and on time. They have several stops all around London. The bus has an audio narration available while traveling from place to place. Once you enter the bus, you have the option to grab a Big Bus Map, much better than the one printed from... More

It was £30 per person for this tour and with it you got 30 mins on the Thames sightseeing the boats and architecture up close. The buses were clean and had a guy commentating all way around which would have been better if you could hear him, you had all nationalities on the us and gangs of teenagers messing about... More

We sat on for nearly and hour and a half and were interested the whole way through. Very slow progress through the city-the traffic flow is terrible despite the dreaded "C" charge-seems to be an awful lot of empty service buses!! The staff were friendly and cheerful and the commentary was very informative.

We were traveling through the night so needed something to do through the day and decided to take the bus tour! We bought the 48 hour ticket so we could have two days to stop at different attractions and it was well worth the money! We liked all the guides but our Favourite was Leanne she was really nice, friendly... More
