Pitiful ride on a tour bus round London attractions

2.00Firstly, the open area at the back had wet seats - we only noticed this as the rain picked up and we decided to move forwards - our back sides were soaked through! Then the headphones did not work - the ports were blocked in the front row! So we had to ask the fellow passengers in the row behind us to let us use one of their portals. And finally, the commentary of the sites being shown en route was pathetic - too much music and the Toot Bus signature tune and not enough history or culture! I was well disappointed - I took another friend round London on a different tourist bus in June and this was much, much better - with a live guide having a sense of humour when bringing history up to life. Choose another tour I'd say...
A trip to the city with our granddaughter.

5.00We didn’t have to wait more than five minutes before a bus turned up. We could always get a seat and the yellow route had a children’s audio.
All very comfortable

5.00We were in London for a short 3-day stay. We didn't have time to visit all the main monuments. The 3 itineraries offered by the Tootbus double-decker bus "hop-on hop-off" allowed us to see and photograph the tourist attractions from afar.

2.00I am very unhappy with the TOOTBUS Service. Not enough buses, not enough frequencies. We had to wait many times 25 min for a bus. This greatly slows down the possibility of visits in the city when we have seen several buses from competing companies pass during this time. Also the Bus Service stops at 5pm! Way too soon.
Poor Execution

1.00Overall it feels like the company does not care about the experience. The app does not show accurate buss arrivals and departures. The onboard wifi does not work. Most importantly, the "virtual tour guide" is so glitchy that it's confusing. Some audio clips repeat, others don't start till you have passed the stop. If I hear "exciting sights behind us, coming is next place, a type stop" where the guide literally says "next place," I'm going to lose my mind.
Perfect.

1.00So when you pay a reasonable price for a hop on hop off bus in a big capital city like London there are expectations that it will informative. If that is what you want fund another tour company. The ‘information’ that was given was embarrassing, puerile and insulting to Linda that has such an incredible history. What about architectural information? The Roman period? The great fire of London? Instead idiot narration about Hard Rock Cafe, Harrods, vague references to royalty. With all the time spent stopped in traffic, there is such a wonderful chance to expand on the history of London. Alas we hopped off permanently after 40 minutes of tripe. Do not bother!
