    It's very easy to view all of London and get a feel for the city. The audio guide is engaging and shares fascinating facts about the sights you pass. Even the background music when no commentary is playing is extremely relaxing.

    The boat tour was relaxing and offered a deeper insight into London from a different perspective. The guide shared interesting facts and the history of the buildings along the Thames in an engaging way. Highly recommended

    The river cruise was by far the best as the guide was in person not audio. Made the experience more complete. That being said, the staff of Big Bus were so friendly and helpful.
