We got to know London's historical heritage, modern London and the diversity of its culture in an uncomplicated and detailed way by bus. We were able to hop on and off, for example to take a closer look at Westminster Abbey. We could also have taken a trip on the Thames. The information was very good and was offered in all languages. The headphones were provided free of charge on the bus. The bus drivers were all very friendly, as were the information staff at the individual stops. A city tour on the Tootbus is highly recommended.

In a short period, I've seen many of London's highlights with Tootbus. The starting point at Picadilly was well indicated and 2 Tootbus guides were there to further guides me/reply to questions. Bus has a great upperdeck with sufficient chairs. Definitely pay a visit to Victoria and Albert museum as they have huge and beautiful collections! Alsof Nat. history museum is worth visiting as the have not only a beautiful architecture but large collections of mineral. Entrance to musea is free!!

Good circuits, pleasant customer service. Having some upstairs option undercover a good idea. Having a pick up outside the station very helpful. On the bad side: Low quality ear buds, some brand new ones not working. Some sound outlets also not working, meaning that you have to change seats to get a working outlet. This email is incorrect as we did NOT book a river cruise as time did not permit.

    I really enjoyed it because I got to see effortlessly and indeed breezily all the most beautiful things in London. The only thing that didn't always work was the correspondence between the audio guide and the monument or place to see. Otherwise super recommended.
