1This ain't it
Horrible experience. Couldn't find stop. Long wait times. Unfriendly bus drivers. Routes are all messed up. They make routes on the fly and not the advertised blue/red routes. Spend your money elsewhere.
5Great Experience.
Awesome tour! We saw all the important landmarks. The only drawback was the buses took too long to come back when you got off. Other than that, great experience.
5Love London a must see
Easy to book to access and a day filled with adventure and great food and drink
3London sightseeing
We were disappointed with the pick up service. The London Bridge stop was closed but this was not stated on the itinerary . Once on the bus it was fine. However when we got off and then tried to board again the bus did not show up at the stop. I feel I paid too much for what we got.
3Those selling tickets...
Those selling tickets should be out of the bus to allow for us that already have tickets to get on the bus.
5Get way to see lots
We had a great day. A must do is get the headphones. You are given so much information. We booked the 24hr trip with the river cruise. The river cruise was fantastic. We had one of the crew tell us about what we were seeing on the trip. He was fantastic and funny. Very easy to use.

About London
London mixes royal ceremony, world-class museums and riverside landmarks with distinct neighbourhoods, markets and parks to explore on foot.
The Thames threads the city together. On its banks stand the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the Tower of London with the Crown Jewels, Tower Bridge and the long South Bank walk past the London Eye, Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey anchor the older skyline, while glass towers crowd the financial district.
Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
