We waited at two different bus stops for over an hour each time and never saw a single tour bus. After trying the second bus stop, we gave up and took the tube to all the sights. We reached out to City Sightseeing in regards to a refund since we were never able to even utilize these tickets. Never got a response. Could not recommend this company any less.

If not for Lebert, the City Sightseeing Tour salesman on the ground at the Tower stop, we never could have taken our already paid for trip. I don't know if it is the fault of Tripadvisor or the bus company, but I will not book that way again. Once on the bus, it was VERY disappointing that the narrator did not include the stop number when describing where we were. They have a good map that is hard to follow without that information. We won't book with them again for that reason. The fact that Lebert was the most helpful possible person still won't make up for that lack of critical information.

It is the perfect agency to visit London at any time of the year! I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to visit the British capital. Also, to report the preparation, kindness, full availability of the Italian girl Martina! Truly impeccable!

Great day out with grandson and daughter in-law hopping on and hopping off on the red route, all staff were polite and cheerful. Sunny day was a bonus

- Review from Tripadvisor
Terrible service, would go as far as to say ruined our day. Waits in excess of the stated 20 minutes for a bus, at one point we waited 45 mins. Old fleet compared to other companies and when sitting downstairs aa upstairs was full, it was ridiculously noisy and hot from the engine. Audio system for commentary not working on 2 of the 3 buses we used. Staff who can’t advise where the bus as stand 10/25 goes and put us on the wrong one, meaning we go back around the route we already did. Angry drivers who spend more time shouting at passengers who go upstairs to see if there’s room when they get on m, rather than driving the bus. Contacted customer service for a refund and they’re not interested Use one of the other companies. At one stop I counted 4 x big bus company busses come through whilst waiting for ours to appear.

Disappointing. Was told that the service is up to 7pm but found ourselves stranded at Kensington palace from 6 pm. Found off thru a msg on the app that last service there was 5.15 f fou

It is fun and convenient but large groups should not expect to sit together during peak times. There were frequent busses.

Fantastic experience seeing all the different famous sites and areas of London that you may not get to see in such a short space of time. The commentary was so informative and cannot wait to do it again and try the other routes.

The information provided in the app after purchase did not give enough information about where to find bus stops. It just says “anywhere along the route”. Since we were new to London, we did not know what that meant. A link to the company’s app or to a map would have been helpful. We finally find a stop where we could get our tickets printed but it was more by luck than design. The bus tour itself was nice and we enjoyed riding around the city. It was convenient to many tourist areas.

Avoid. We waited almost two hours for the bus and was told that we still had to transfer to another bus further along the route. While waiting for this bus, we saw busses of other companies picking up people every half hour. We were given headphones but very little commentary. I strongly suggest that people book with another company of they don't want to waste their tume.
