There was no guide in the bus. When I asked the driver about where to get down to go to Thames river, I was not able to understand what he said So I asked him a second time and he spoke very rudely to me, and spoke bad about my culture.

We've been taking the Big Bus for a long time. This is the first time we've had to wait so long to catch a bus. We looked at the waiting time on the app, but it kept changing. Also, once it arrived, it could be crowded, which sometimes prevented us from sitting down and/or listening to the audio guide.

We thoroughly enjoyed the royal walk our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining! The Thames river cruise was equally as amazing the commentary was great! We bought tickets for the 48 hour hop on hop off, it was a great way to see all the sights.

I loved the routes and all the sights we were taken to and near. It was great how often it was possible to catch a bus. However the commentary could have been improved. It seemed that there was a lot of pop culture trivia (which famous people had lived where or visited, etc) but I would have appreciated more history. We also drove by lots of interesting buildings that we didn't hear anything about. I would have appreciated more overall information about what we were seeing around us--how old buildings were and what they are used for, etc.
