Poor communication

Maneuvering through the routes can be very difficult. Also, the buses don't do a good job of getting us back to our pick-up point. There were many streets closed because of "filming" and we ended up having to take the subway to get back to our hotel.
Going the extra with at least one walking tour

Our hop on hop off experience included walking tours, a river cruise and evening tour of London. We loved seeing London this way. Map a plug-in earplugs are provided with commentary in your chosen language. This enabled us the freedom to select where we wanted to stop and explore then hop back on another bus and continue on. There are 3 routes with minimal overlap. Our stand out though was the Jack the Ripper walking tour. We were very fortunate to have Emma as our tour guide plus we were the only tourists on the tour! Emma was brilliant. Her insightful knowledge on Jack’s murderous ways kept us engaged and wanting to hear more. Emma’s love of her job was apparent from the get go. She is a great asset to the company. Do yourself a favour and opt for at least a two day pass with some extras included. You wont be disappointed.
Tour Stops Closed Because of Al Quds

I asked for my Hiop on/ Hop Off for Sunday March 23 to be changed to Monday 24, because the tour operator said many stops would be closed because of the Al Quds march and rally. I called when I was notified. I finally contacted Justine April and was told the tour operator would contact me. However I was not contacted by any operator. I purchased the tickets and was not allowed to amend the tour, because of the many stops that were closed. Please contact me to arrange the tickets for Monday.

Highly recommend this tour in London. You can hop off and back on once you go where you need to. They stop at all the tourist sites. Our guide was superb. My tickets from Viator, didn’t load with the QR code; the agent still helped me and ensured we can do the tour. If you want to enjoy London with the tourist sites, I recommend doing the tour
Lovely day in London
