Amazing London

5.00It was awesome! We really enjoyed it and had a great time seeing London!!! You can pack a whole lot of things into one day and see the city.
First time not a great experience
Kathleen C,Apr 17, 2026

3.00It was very difficult to get the bar code to work. Had to go into customer service which took quite some time. By the time we came out line was super long. The actual Eye experience was great. But again delays backed us up for river cruise also. By the time we were able to do hop on hop off bus it was 3:00pm. Not much time on bus and there were not able to punch our ticket for the time we started our 24 hour period. This resulted in not being able to prove what time we started to give us our 24 hour period. We could not get on the next day because our ticket was dated 4/16 and it did not indicate what time we started the day prior. Been on many Viators and never had a not so good experience. I guess there’s a first time for everything. We have more to follow and looking forward to better experience.
Great to fill a day

5.00Everything was easy to book and all tickets worked perfectly. Booking was simple. The Big Bus is great and The Eye everyone should try once. The boat trip was very informative l.

48hr pass bus/river/London eye tour

4.00Hop on/off bus was really good! Allows you to see things & places that you may want to revisit at a later time. The bus ride is about 2/3 hrs and it really covers a lot of areas. I did the 48 hrs pass which included the London eye and river ride which only goes in 1 direction it’s not a rd trip tour so fyi. Overall no complaints!
Unbelievable what a site to see and what great service you have

5.00We saw so much did a lot of things and was so impressed with the service of hop on and hop off. Would do this again when going back to London
Nice ride!

5.00Even though there was a long line, it moved quickly. They take your picture while waiting in the line. You can purchase it later( I didn't). It moves very slowly and you have many opportunities to get great pics of the city. Overall a very nice time. I had beautiful weather, too!
I'm glad I got the...

4.00I'm glad I got the package instead of buying each item individually. The bus was easy to use and took us everywhere. We listed to a pre-recorded audio tour, which was totally fine. Kids listened and learned stuff. We also got the option of three walking tours, a visit to the London Eye, and a quick river cruise. We only did one tour, which was great as our tour guide Kevin as quite knowledgeable and friendly. Wish we had done the others but we had so much to see and so little time in London. The London Eye was great for the views and we chose sunset which made it more spectacular. The river cruise was pretty lame, though, as it was just a quick trip down the Thames. I'm glad that we could say we did that but the experience was nothing special.
Impolite guide

1.00No Panorama, just driving through the City in the evening. The Guide who checked out at the evening tour (7.30 from London Eye) told us to go back to the end of the queue?? we got in trouble with other passengers. It’s very busy on Saturdays. As we wanted to go inside the guide who checked our tickets still hesitated to let us in, we don’t know what we did wrong, we had just bought the tickets in the city centre. We got on the bus, but the tour was boring, no panorama. They didn’t hand out headphones. Too expensive for such a horrible service.
Changing of the guard
