Ticket purchase was easy & good online👍 with tickets sent to my email. Loved the hopon hopoff buses and the boat trip along the Thames was excellent. But finding the bus stops was tricky without the bus map and knowledge if London. Better signage if bus stops is needed and need to ensure everyone has thebus route map.

The bus was clean. The employees on and off the bus were friendly and helpful. The Hop On Hop Off bus is the best way to learn about the city.

Sightsee like a pro – a 1-day or 24/48/72-hour pass lets you hop on and off as much as you like because London's best bits deserve a second look.

No stress, no sprinting as buses swing by every 15-30 mins across three routes and 39 stops. Take your time, the city’s not going anywhere!

The 24/48/72-hour pass gets you a Thames cruise from Westminster or Tower Piers. Also opt for a night tour through London's top sights.

Ride high on an open-top double-decker while an 11-language audio guide dishes out London’s best stories, minus the dull history lecture.

Stops you simply can’t skip: the mighty Tower of London, the buzzing lights of Piccadilly Circus, and the picture-perfect Tower Bridge.

There was tremendous traffic and we had to change routes. More than the bus we enjoyed, the cruise was disappointing

The tour of London is always pleasant, but the bus took very, very long breaks and the initial stop was difficult to identify in the street. I also found the tours less complete than a few years ago.
