Everything went smoothly. Great experiences... It would have been even easier if the description of the hop-on hop-off bus and the Thames cruise had included the name of the bus or boat.

We love doing the City Sightseeing Bus every time we go to a large city. The stops are always relevant and the cost is minimal. We particularly enjoyed the Themes River Cruise.

Sightsee by bus for 24-48 hours, then cruise the Thames – the perfect combo ticket to see London without the fuss!

For first-time visitors – this bus and boat combo is the easiest way to explore London’s top landmarks, with no public transport headaches!

Land and water views, all in one! Hop on the open buses and river cruises to snap London’s skyline and landmarks from unique vantage points.

Get off the HOHO bus at Belvedere Road and take a short 236-foot stroll to the Thames cruise at London Eye Pier. With several boarding points, it's easy to hop on and off.

Time to ditch the regular sightseeing routine and hit the Thames River Cruise for some seriously cool views of London! Cruise past Big Ben, the Tower of London, and the Houses of Parliament, and watch as the city unfolds from the water. Whether you're basking in the sun on the open deck or keeping cozy indoors, London’s landmarks are next-level when seen from the river. Plus, hop on and off at riverside stops like Greenwich and London Eye—because why not explore more of this stunning city? The river’s got the best seat in the house, and you’re invited!
