CoupleVerified booking5 days ago5/5My dear friend and I who I have visited every year at this time for a an annual celebration. I wanted to book something special for us both to enjoy. special is what we got!! Neither of us have been in the London eye, Hop on bus or the Thames cruise! It was truly magnificent from start to finish! The cruise was so relaxing the the host knowledgeable, lots of important historical information was shared to us all on board. London eye was great, my friend was so nervous, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The gift shop was great, very reasonably priced, we got shirts for £25( good quality) tote bags for £6 and great deals on photos. We finished of our day with the Hop on bus to take us back to Westminster. FABULOUS value for £63 each for this memorable 3 in 1 ticket. Will definitely return next yearVVeeranjaneyulu S
FamilyVerified booking4 days ago5/5We really enjoyed this combo. The hop-on hop-off bus made it easy to visit the main places in London. The London Eye had amazing views of the city, and the Thames River Cruise was relaxing and fun. Everything was well organized, and the tickets were easy to use. It was great value for money and a perfect way to see London's top attractions. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting London.MMichael M
GroupVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5The BigBusTours was great, the commentary was spot on and very interesting. The bus frequency was good despite the slow heavy London traffic. The ability to choose one's group time on the London eye worked well and overall the use of the tickets w as effucent and very convenientCColin S
FamilyVerified booking2 weeks ago4/5The river cruise in particular was a highlight for our group, with a great guide and easy trip! The buses were quite warm, with no A/C and lots of traffic leading to no airflow, so we actually got off and walked rather than ride it all the way to our destination.MMonica M
SoloVerified bookingLast week5/5Easy getting to experiences despite the crowds. Staff were so helpful and I enjoyed the cruise to Tower of London, hopping on the BIG BUS and getting back to the London Eye for the views. A great day!
Get ready to see London with this combo experience! This package weaves together three ways to see the city, offering panoramic views, convenient city exploration, and a unique perspective from the historic River Thames.
London Eye
Step into a glass pod on the London Eye and slowly rise above the Thames as London unfurls beneath you. In this gentle 30-minute rotation, the skyline feels like your personal postcard. You'll spot Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and even Windsor Castle on a clear day. The pods are roomy, climate-controlled, and perfect for soaking in 360° views while the city bustles below, giving you that magical mix of grandeur and calm.
Hop-on Hop-off tour by Big Bus
Think of London’s Big Bus routes like three storylines woven through the city. The Red Route sweeps past the icons like palaces, cathedrals, and bridges, where London’s grandeur shines at every turn. The Blue Route takes you deeper, gliding along the Thames and past buzzing neighborhoods where old meets new. The Green Link feels more local, rolling by leafy squares and grand train stations, giving you glimpses of everyday London life.
