It was my first time in London with my granddaughter, and I had booked the Tootbus for our first day. We took the blue route first and then the yellow route. This gave us a really good overview of the city’s main sights. The staff were all super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it—I was thrilled.

The tour route was enjoyable with fun audio commentary. The drivers were kind and went out of their way to be helpful. The protests and London marathon altered the route and messed up many of our plans. It would've been better without the inconvenience.

Thanks to the bus’s various routes, we were able to explore the neighborhoods and learn about their history before actually visiting them. It helped us get to know the city and find our bearings. You can hop on and off as many times as you like. A great experience.
