Disappointed with this service . Many many buses so It can be hard to pick out your bus service . Our drivers were not friendly . Didn’t appear to enjoy their job . Bought a two day ticket so deciding if we use it today . One driver seemed to never get to our stop . We ended up walking and took a cab ; we were so far from our destination. This wasn’t an initial trip to London . River cruise was fine .

We had a lovely time on the Big Bus Tour. The audio commentary was so interesting and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour. We left my daughter’s backpack with iPhone on the bus and the company was wonderful in helping us find it and get it back. Thanks Bug Bus crew you are the Best!

This experience was a great way to see the city of London. It made seeing the city less overwhelming and introduced us to some new sites that were not originally on our list. The longest we waited for a bus was 20 minutes, however, that was only one time.
