Love London? See it your way with an unlimited hop-on hop-off bus ticket, complete with stops at must-sees, audio guides, and an optional Thames River cruise.

    • Sightsee like a pro – a 1-day or 24/48-hour pass lets you hop on and off as much as you like because London's best bits deserve a second look.
    • No stress, no sprinting as buses swing by every 15-30 mins across three routes and 39 stops. Take your time, the city’s not going anywhere!
    • Fancy a river break? The 24 or 48-hour pass gets you a Thames cruise from Westminster or Tower Piers.
    • Ride high on an open-top double-decker while an 11-language audio guide dishes out London’s best stories, minus the dull history lecture.
    • Stops you simply can’t skip: the mighty Tower of London, the buzzing lights of Piccadilly Circus, and the picture-perfect Tower Bridge.
    • 1-day, 24/48-hour unlimited hop-on hop-off bus tour
    • Access to Red, Blue & Green routes
    • One-way Thames cruise OR two-way Thames cruise on the same day (based on option selected)
    • Classic Routemaster bus ride from Trafalgar Square (based on option selected)
    • Audio guide in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, Russian, Polish & Arabic (on the bus)
    • Free activity booklet and kids' audio guide in English (only on Blue route)
  • You can cancel these tickets up to 24 hours before the experience begins and get a full refund.

    I appreciated the frequency of the buses and thus being able to get off and on quietly. Good explanation. I also did the river cruises but unfortunately they are in English language but it was nice anyway.
