The driver didn't follow the route in some cases and moreover at the bus stop near Buckingham palace we had to change the bus 3 times - we spent there (at one bus stop) more than 30 minutes because of changing buses. It was very chaotic and the staff was unpleasant. Everything else was great. ;)

Hop On - Hop Off is brilliant. Not only for exploring but also as a means of transportation. The texts are informative and entertaining. The Thames trip is a must! London Eye too. What we didn't do were the guided walks - we did enough walking as it was

The London eye was fantastic as well as the river cruise, and the bus was also a really great way to get around and see everything that you would need to. The negative that I would have about the bus is that it was frequently crowded. There was one late afternoon where the bus stopped at marble arch And everyone had to get off because the driver had gone over his hours. Everybody was left to fend for themselves to get to where they needed to, when 30 seconds later Another big bus came behind ours to drop people off and took off again to continue their journey. if we were quick enough we could've hopped on that big bus . It Would have been nice if the driver had known that bus was following could still continue on the journey for the rest of us that got off the bus. I noticed that they were a huge amount of places selling tickets to the big bus and wonder if you have two big of a Market share and not enough buses to transport everybody around. I noticed some of the other bus companies pulling up behind big bus did not have nearly as many people on them, which is something for me to think about next time?

Confusing bus stops but it was due to road closure not the bus. Was unsure which bus line we were on. If you could clearly mark inside the bus which line it would have been helpful. Overall experience was good.
