They canceled our booking. I hope i get my money back.
Excellent services and company provide options for flexibility. Tour guard is knowledgeable and in-depth.
Excellent experience for our first day in London. Roland was our guide and did an amazing job!!!
What a wonderful way to see London!! We left right on time. The bus was an old red double decker, very comfortable. The weather was nice, so we all sat upstairs. But there was a covered downstairs too. The guide was wonderful and interesting, telling us neat facts about what we passed. A great way to see everything easily, and then go back on your own to what interests you. Which is exactly what I did!
This was a lovely ride through parts of London we wouldn’t get to see, or were unable to catch in tour on our short stay. The best was all the history “Effie or maybe she spells it Ephie” shared. I’m sorry if I butchered your name. You were fabulous and great with directions. Big heartfelt Thank you. Totally recommend the bus tour. Informative, interesting, and funny. It gives one the opportunity to rest you feet
Will did a great job of giving us the history of the buildings we saw while riding the bus. He was informative and funny, sharing nuggets of information with us.
Great service. Perfect route. Not too long but covered a lot of key areas of interest. We had minimal traffic so it was actually about 70 mins rather than 90 but we took in lots of interesting sites. The commentary was friendly, informative and entertaining. Much better value than some of the other services. Perfect for children of all ages.
You can see many beautifull and iconic monuments on a single ride ! The ride is very enjoyable and funny
It may be a little cold if you travel upstairs on the open top bus but the views of the various landmarks make up for it! We had live commentary, the guide was so knowledgeable and was more than happy to answer any questions. It was not a hop on hop off tour, which suited us fine. We thought it was good value for money and very easy to find the bus stop.
Johnny was a great host and explained all of the sites perfectly and with a great sense or humor. Would most def do it again!
Great local guide who kept it interesting and enjoyable for the whole trip - drove safely and saw all the interesting sights wanted
It's two hours spent well seeing London around. The guide Joey was pleasant. Lot to see and lot to learn about the city of London.
Great tour. Guide was entertaining and very helpful and informative. Hit all of the important places
Great way to see London sights from a different angle on an open top bus. Guide was knowledgeable and clear. Wear warm clothing on cold days! A hat/beanie recommended.
Amazing way to see all of the sights! The tour guide was very knowledgeable, would recommend to bring a sweater it can be very windy!
Great trip to fill an hour. See all the famous sites. Good view from the top. Audio was clear and loud.
This experience is one for the books. To be able to learn a little of Londons Culture. And to also be amongst a tour guide that has a legacy of history. The views were everything, the price for the tour was phenomenal. And to have the personal experience of my tour guide addressing me by my name when we approached, chef's kiss 💋...When we travel back to London we will do this as a family.
Great way to get overview of the main sites of central London. I would highly recommend for first time visitors.
Will was a terrific tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and engaging. He also was very patient as there were unexpected events occurring causing major traffic delays. He told stories with humor and historical context without looking fazed by street shutdowns near Westminster Abby. This was my first time to London, and I thought this was the perfect tour to do to get my bearings. Well done!
Had a great time with (and I don’t fully remember their names) Rory and Pakarsh. Would recommend if you don’t have a lot of time or just want an idea of the landscape.
We booked very last-minute (same day), and were able to get spots. The tour was very enjoyable. The guide was informative, interesting, and well-spoken. Location was easy to find, very near the National Gallery.
Will presented information for our first visit to London in a clear and comprehensive way. We wanted an overview tour to see where we wanted to visit.
It was a brilliant one of a kind bus tour with our great guide Johnny! We enjoyed how lovely he was and all the anecdotes that were shared!
This is a fun, informative and delightful excursion though the city of London, past many historic sites.
Tour guide William and driver Rob do an amazing job and you can tell they enjoy their job. It was an amazing experience
Will was really good from the moment the bus started. He guided us throughout the whole tour and explained all the places wonderfully. He was very friendly, helpful, and made the whole experience enjoyable. Such a wonderful guy and a great tour guide! Highly recommended.
Tour was great! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We loved the vintage bus, and the bus driver slowed down giving us time to take in the sights.
Travel thru London on the double decker vintage bus, guide was great, she was also funny and made the tour very enjoyable. Wear a jacket as it can get cool.
A really lovely overview experience of London, even if you’ve been here before. Perfect for after a long arrival flight. Guide Rowland and driver did a great job—highly recommended. We were blessed with great weather.
Great way to see the city. The vintage bus was great, really added to the feel of the tour. The open top was perfect. The bus driver was amazing navigating through London. And the tour guide was local and knowledgeable. He even added some stories about his own family connections to London. Great tour.
Our guide Rory and driver dribble were fantastic! Definitely would recommend. We saw so much and learned a ton about London.
Very informative and a lot of fun, never dull. Luckily we had beautiful weather and an overall wonderful experience.
We saw so much and learned historical tidbits. Our tour guide came up on top with us and was at a great volume. Was funny (Will). And we thoroughly enjoyed it. He even gave us a tip for Sunday roast after. Robbie was a fine driver. They both went above and beyond.
This was a great way to see a lot of the “main attractions” in London if you’re on limited time. Johnny the tour guide was very sociable and knew a lot about the city, sharing some unique, interesting facts too. Also offering up time for suggestions on city activities if you wanted after the tour. We really enjoyed the tour. But warning - do not drink a pint right before hopping on the bus - 90-100 minutes can feel very long without a bathroom (lol).
We toured the London area driving past notable sights while the guide gave explanations about each sight. We enjoyed the tour.
This was the most interesting bus tour, forget the Hop on hop off, our commentator Johnny was the best! Very informative and fun. Excellent driver also but sorry I don’t remember his name. Well worth every cent!
Spoke to operator and she told us tour 2 hours long, we explained we had another bus to catch home and needed it to be exact, she said yes 2 hours, wanted 75 quid, then 63 then 43 so we agreed, I was supporting a lady with additional needs and she saw this, after 2 hours we were no where near and had to get off and ended up catching an Uber to bus station with minutes to spare, then noticed on the ticket it said 4 hours, fuming, why can't people be honest and rip us off 😡
Really interesting overview of the city & Johnny the guide was humourous & informative. Very much enjoyed the tour
The tour was a wonderful overview of London highlights! Our guide Johnny was amazing and so lovely to everyone on our tour. He made our experience memorable and engaging and provided lots of information and chuckles!
We enjoyed the open air bus tour especially as it was on our first day in London. The driver and guide were both wonderful and it was great to get oriented via this method.
An excellent experience and a great way to spend ninety minutes. Guide had great knowledge, at times using humour, which made trip more entertaining and extremely enjoyable. There was never a dull moved and he engaged with passengers throughout the ride.
This is a great way to get your bearings of London and learn some history, while enjoying an open air ride on a classic double decker. It was a short walk and easy to find from the Embankment Tube station. Our guide, Sadia, was very knowledgeable, mixing in fun facts and humor into the tour.
Good tour for families. Guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Seats are tight and stairs are steep!
I highly recommend this tour! Howard was an amazing tour guide—he’s incredibly knowledgeable, and it was fascinating to hear about his family’s history in London. If you’re looking to see and learn as much as possible about London in just one day, this is the perfect tour!
Comfortable bus, knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. Driver and guide were good fun. I would recommend to anyone.
This was a fun and informative and entertaining high-level tour of the city of London! Highly recommended
Guide has great knowledge. Liked he included facts about childhood neighborhood. Also Harry Potter info.
This is a fun way to see so many sights in London. Our guide was a lot of fun. Enjoyed it very much.
Information and entertaining. Saw major sites in the area with some interesting stories which are clearly geared to travelers from the UK. Was VERY disappointed that the tour was a little over an hour long even though the guide said it could easily run 2 hours but definitely fell very short of the 1 1/2 hour description.
