Our guide was great! She led the tour with enthusiasm and fun. She showed us the best spots from where we could get a great view of everything. Many thanks for that!

The views from the open-top level of the bus were amazing, and the complimentary audio was a nice touch. Booking the tickets was straightforward; however, it was a bit confusing figuring out which bus to take since there are several "hop on, hop off" companies operating on the same route. Additionally, the ending time was unclear, and after waiting 10 minutes for a bus, we were informed it would only be going to one more stop. As a result, we ended up having to walk 40 minutes back to our rental.

found it easy locating the bus .You should have clear information on the app or at booking advising people to come with their own earphones to connect to the audio guide .I had no way to connect and was not offered any earphones .

Purchasing through Headout was simple, easy and quick. My experience on the City Sightseeing: London Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour with Optional Thames River Cruise was the best choice. We used the Hop on Hop off bus to get around and see the main sights of London. The buses passed every 10-15 minutes at the indicated points and there was always a member of staff to help us. Finally, we took a cruise on the River Thames with a spectacular view of the city.

It quite pricey for a day on the bus. The app with bus times did not work and it is not clear until what time the buses run. There are a lot of buses and a lot of info is given.
