    Zoom your way through the colorful city of London on iconic red open-top, double-decker HOHO buses, an experience considered quintessentially tourist-like! These buses give you the luxury of getting down or on the bus from any location convenient to you. Equipped with onboard multilingual commentary, learn all that you can! Buses depart every 10-20 minutes, making this an extremely easy way to get familiar with London. You can discover some of the most famous attractions in London such as Parliament Square, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, the Marble Arch, Madame Tussauds, the London Eye, Covent Garden, and the British Museum!

    Don’t forget to make use of your exclusive hop-on-hop-off River Thames cruise (a complementary experience) that offers an alternative perspective on some of the major attractions of the city, such as Big Ben and the Tower of London. Cruises depart every 30-40 minutes from the pier, allowing you to board it anytime you want! Your experience also includes three walking tours at different times of the day so you could actually complete them all in 24 hours.
