  • City Sightseeing Frustration

    After being dropped off for a visit at St Paul’s Cathedral there was a road closure so bus routes were changed . No agent was there to redirect, so we ended up walking to the next pick up which was the London bridge by following traffic . There was no response when I tried reaching the operator . It was FRUSTRATING and EXHAUSTING. After finally making it to the next stop the bus driver was very sympathetic though .

  • Make sure you’re at the right stop to catch your first bus

    It would be nice to have better location info about where the stops are located. We ended up at a stop that wasn’t on the City Sightseeing circuit and didn’t figure out for 20 minutes that our stop was around the corner. That was frustrating.

  • WASTE OF MONEY!!!!

    This was a waste of money. There are multiple hop on hop off buses in london. Other companies are running multiple buses continuously that actually make stops at the "highlights". This bus company had minimal buses running. You would be waiting at least 20-30 mins for a bus as multiple other companies had 2-3 pass during your wait time. It makes useless stops, not near anything so just slows the time before you make your desired destination. After being on the bus for an hour and a half, we weren't even half way through the route. we ended up getting off the bus and taking a taxi as we were going to miss our entry time for the tower of London. I would NEVER recommend it. It would cost you less and you would move around the city quicker with utilizing other hop on hop off bus companies or even the tube or taxis! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

  • Great option for short trips!!

    Friendly drivers and great stops. Buses were clean. Mounds of disposable headphones to listen to tour, and useful maps.
