Really good. Great tours and the staff could not be more knowledgable and helpful. We took our 2.5yr old and they were very kind and family friendly too. Highly recommend! NOTE you can use tesco clubcard vouchers as part of tesco rewards to get around 66% off!

We had time to kill before checking into our hotel and decided to hop on and get an overview of the city.Lovely day for sitting on top. We enjoyed the all round tour and the live informative and amusing commentary.We also did the included river cruise. As the pass lasts for 24 hours we used the bus again the following... More

Only if the weather is good, wait to buy your tickets at the counter. We had prepaid e-tickets. They say if you don't like the weather in Britain, wait 5 minutes and it will change. We found that to be very true during our vacation to the UK in April. Thursday, I got a sun burn in Hyde Park; Friday,... More

My partner and I booked a hop on-off bus tour through the Original Sightseeing Tour. We verified our tickets at their shop, near trafalgur square and got on an early bus. It took us to all the main sights and we got off at Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard. The guides are very knowledgeable and were... More

When a tourist books a bus tour she expects a basic support from the tour coordinators to ensure that the day has good memories.... I was alone on that day and I had booked the tour online ....my ticket mentioned 4 points as start point with Piccadilly circus being one of them.... I was made to go from one point... More

Having paid £70 for my husband, son and me for a 24 hour pass, we don't feel as though it was really worth it. In theory, it seems a very good idea. In practice, the traffic in London is too busy for this hop on hop off bus service to be worthwhile. It is far easier to walk! Whilst waiting... More

If you speak English go for the bus with a live commentary. The guides are good. You can pass all the main sights. It's best to start as early as you can as there is a lot to see, especially if you hop on and hop off a lot. Speed varies with traffic conditions and does not really affect the... More

The hop on hop off bus tour is very informative and convenient. We got to see all of the sites we wanted to see and more. You can also purchase discounted tickets to other attractions and theater shows with your purchase of this ticket.

My husband and I always start our visits of a new city with a bus tour. This tour was really fun and informative. The bus runs about every 15 minutes, but be patient if you must wait for the tour you want. London traffic is terrible.Our guide was a lively, humorous young man named Robert. There are several choices you... More

This is the third time I've taken my class of twenty-four fifteen and sixteen year-olds and accompanying adults on the hop-on-hop-off tour of London, and can I just say what fantastic service we got from every single one of the staff :) You can imagine it's not easy to move a group of nearly thirty through London, and at every...
