Our guide was great! She led the tour with enthusiasm and fun. She showed us the best spots from where we could get a great view of everything. Many thanks for that!

Purchasing through Headout was simple, easy and quick. My experience on the City Sightseeing: London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour with Optional Thames River Cruise was the best choice. We used the Hop on Hop off bus to get around and see the main sights of London. The buses passed every 10-15 minutes at the indicated points and there was always a member of staff to help us. Finally, we took a cruise on the River Thames with a spectacular view of the city.

The route is very comprehensive, the staff are very helpful and patient and the driving through all the traffic etc was spot on. The Thames Cruise was a highlight as it gave you a different perspective of the sights of the city. The commentary on board deleivered by one of the staff was well paced, clear and informative. It definitely added considerable to the experience.

We loved all the historic sites and we didn't need to watch where we were going in the bus. Nice information on the different parts of the city.

It was very convenient and simple to avail HOHO services

Bus or boat? Why not both! With this combo ticket, you get 24-48 hours of hop-on, hop-off fun, and a Thames cruise. London’s calling your name!

London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

Who needs a taxi when you’ve got the London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus? With 24-48 hours of endless hop-on-hop-off freedom, you can conquer London like a pro! Whether you're snapping pics of Big Ben, ogling the Tower of London, or just soaking in the views, the open-top bus makes it easy. Plus, the commentary is like your personal London tour guide—quirky, fun, and full of tidbits you didn’t even know you needed. Choose your stops, take your time, and get ready for a sightseeing adventure with zero hassle!

Thames River Cruise

Time to ditch the regular sightseeing routine and hit the Thames River Cruise for some seriously cool views of London! Cruise past Big Ben, the Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament, and watch as the city unfolds from the water. Whether you're basking in the sun on the open deck or keeping cozy indoors, London’s landmarks are next-level when seen from the river. Plus, hop on and off at riverside stops like Greenwich and London Eye—because why not explore more of this stunning city? The river’s got the best seat in the house, and you’re invited!
