What a fantastic experience I had with city sightseeing..right from the minute I bought my ticket from the very helpful ilias .... ilias was a fountain of knowledge when it came to everything I needed to know about bus tours and boat tours ...I can't thank him enough..to be honest if it wasn't for ilias I probably wouldn't have booked a tour..he is a credit to the company... which led us to meet our city sightseeing bus driver Mavs .. Mavs was so friendly and informative during my time on the bus..which made my tour all the more enjoyable.. I hope to see ilias again in December when I return to book another tour and hopefully get Mavs as my bus driver...what a super day I had thanks to both of them...thank you guys.

Absolutely amazing service from start to finish and beyond!! From meeting ilais near tower bridge and asking him for directions he was ever so friendly and helpful and myself and my friend ended up boarding the city sightseeing bus straight away. Having made friends almost immediately with ilais, our driver mr …. … Mavs was equally just as welcoming. Upon entering the doors to the bus we had such a laugh with Mavs who was a wealth of knowledge about the city. We have now been on and off the buses numerous times throughout our stay in London which has been very convenient and cost effective. We hope to see both ilais and Mavs again on our return to the city as those guys are a credit to the company, ever so friendly and welcoming.

An amazing way to experience London! We drove past many sights on the red tour and very minimal walking needed.

This company is OK. Not the best hop on hop off company I've used but decent. Be aware of last bus times for each separate location. Do not go my the AI assistant on the app who kept promising the next bus was arriving soon but it never did because all the buses were being taken offline since it was the end of their work day. I did notice 2 other hop on hop off bus companies who still had buses running after 8pm so if you're planning on utilizing the bus late during your time in London you may want to try a different company. I was stranded near Big Ben after the river tour boat circled back to the London eye because there was a boat that needed the slot at Westminster and I missed the last bus out from the pier. I found myself walking much more than I expected to because of bus timing and pickup locations. It does hit all the major sights which is nice and the red route timing is every 15 minutes. The blue and green routes have different pick up times and pick ups are farther apart after 4pm for all 3 routes.

Myself and my children were on the red route which took in some of the key sights e.g. Big Ben, London Eye, Westminster Abbey. The narration was informative. Children enjoyed the journey. It took just over two hours.

Ilham is a sweet girl who is very sociable, friendly and is willing to help people. In addition to speaking English, she speaks French, Spanish, and Arabic. It's amazing how many languages she speaks. We'd love to see her again on our next tour.
