Ask lots of questions on how to know where to pick up another bus. The one way trip down the Thames is worth it.

We stayed on the bus to see all the stops and then decided where to get out. Driver and guide were great! Weather was beautiful so we were happy just arriving from the US that morning at 8AM. River ride was also great! Sit up top to see better and picture taking!

Purchased a 48hrs ticket with optional cruise. Our ticket was shown as completed after Less than 24hrs of use. I had made a printout of my pass and thankfully a BigBus rep at one of the stops was able to reprint my ticket so that I could use the River Cruise. Print out your pass, dont rely on a digital copy.

The full circuit on the blue takes a couple of hours but it was very good. Bus driver did an amazing job on some very tight streets.
