This was my third time to London but my first time with my 15 year old so. The first day we took the route and only got off for lunch at the ritz… booked in advance., and a bit of shopping. We made a plan of what to see the following day which was great! Additionally, we bought tickets to see the Tower of London and took the option to have the one way boat ride back. We also did the London Eye on a beautiful day. If it is not, I wouldn't do it. Overall, a fabulous experience.

We had an amazing day getting a great overview of all the main London attractions we wanted to see. It was easy to locate the pick up stops. We never had to wait around. The River Thames tour was excellent. We loved it!

Big bus hop on hop off best to get on early and do cruise from stop 16 after you've done the Tower and bridge. Easily downloaded ticket from website

Hello, Very pleasant tour and the guides are super helpful and responsive! The audio guide was great. It was very crowded but the big bus guides handled it very well! Super +++ for the evening bus tour with the illuminated monuments. Too bad the cruise on the Thames wasn't in several languages, but it was great fun all the same. Thanks Big bus

Loved getting off and on when it suited us to see all the sights. We were even able to use it the following day because it's valid for a full 24 hours!

This specific bus line, although there are many, seems to have the most stops and covers nearly every inch of the city. The drivers seem to have magical powers to get the bus through the very busy traffic and narrow streets of London. Easily a half day ride perhaps more if you ride the entire main loop. Multiple days if you use it to get on and off at stops.

As a first time London visitor, it was a perfect way to get an overview of the city. Even the rain could not dampen our experience. One suggestion would be to provide more historical information on the buildings and the area and less pop culture information. London is an amazing historical city and deserves a more serious narrative. Thanks

Fine way to discover London. You get to all the great places without having to walk a lot. The tour guide was fun and interesting to listen to.

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 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.

We waited over 30 minutes at stop 21 and no bus. Trief support and AI did not help. Then walked to stop 20 on way home to stop 32. Bus at stop 20 said yes he was going to 32. At Marble Arch entire bus told to get off and wait for next bus. No clear communication to which run next bus was. Badly handled.

The staff were very helpful and engaging. Buses regular and on time. Guide commentaries informative and sometimes hilarious especially on the Thames cruise. The music played rather dull and needs to be more modern and contemporary. Great wxperience altogether.
