Bus trip

4.00Generally good but a bit sad when one of the attendants told us the ticket didn't cover the boat ride although tickets said it did
Room for improvement

3.00Undercover top deck was leaky in the rain, audio guides didn’t work on all the seats and there was variability in how friendly the drivers were.
Waste of money

1.00Don't do it! Barely buses on the routes, incorrect marking in the app... Waste of money! Hours of waiting time. Big bus has more buses and smoother service
Waste of time and money, ruined trip

1.00On 16 December had this tour, 3 of us starting from Victora. Expensive ticket than advertised online £102.90 for 3, which was advertised £29,40 each. From Victoria red line to stop 23 Westminster, changed to yellow line to London Bridge reached at 3.30pm, stayed half hour and at 4pm waited for the bus which never arrived. At 6.15pm, we had ro take underground. Downloaded tootbus app which never worked, customer servers closes at 5pm. Waste of time and money, rubbish service, buses without microphones, rude drivers. Frequency of pickup very poor, over 2 hour wait and no bus.
Avoid toot bus

1.00Must avoid. Bus just keeps stopping for long periods. Spent more time stopped than moving. Very poor commentary. Seems more interested in music and jokes than actual facts
Choose another organizer.

2.00I would go for a different organizer thanTootbus. There are very few buses of this organization and the information is not up to date at all, also difficult to get clear information about where the stops are. I have waited for a bus from the green route 3 times and this bus never showed up, despite the real-time info (which kept saying for 20 minutes that the bus would arrive in 5 minutes). Because of this, I did not use the bus for the full first day when I had actually paid for it. I paid €40 to use the bus for 3 days and made a maximum of 5 trips by bus, then you do not take the money out and you can better get around by public transport. When boarding, you are also asked if you want to buy (discounted) tickets to some of the most famous attractions is London, I found that quite intrusive. In short, if I go to london again, I choose to travel by public transport and otherwise a different organization of hop on- hop off buses.
Perfect for visiting London

5.00Very friendly and welcoming drivers. Great tour to visit London. Original audio comments, pleasant to listen to and not boring.
Not worth the money

2.00Not worth the price. Audio was mediocre and it took a long time to get from one point to another due to traffic congestion.
Recommended!

5.00Super recommended, everything ok! Easy to find, very nice app worked and clear, with gps indicating the location of the buses
Nice trip. Worth doing

5.00Our bus driver was fabulous. So patient as I hadn't booked online and wanted to and he helped me sort it all out. We were on the blue route on Sunday 30th Nov and got on at Trafalgar Square around 130. This driver should receive recognition as he's a great asset to your company. It would be nice to see Buckingham palace without having to get off. I think it would be a good Idea to advise people they need to get off as the bus doesn't pass directly in order to see it
