City Sightseeing: London Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour with Optional Thames River Cruise

Looking around London on a Hop-On Hop-Off (HOHO) bus makes seeing the city easy when mobility is an issue, as it is for my wife. We went around the blue and red loops, which were very good. We missed the green loop due to time constraints which was disappointing; the early buses were doing the loops so slowly, even though there was no traffic and stopping for ages at each stop for no reason, so the loops took ages. Late in the day, traffic became congested, so loops understandably became slow, but the early slow loops meant that our whole day was taken up on the blue and red loops took up our whole day, even though we only got off and on again twice and we got on the first bus of the day and off the last. At the end of the day, we missed the final blue loop bus to take us back to our start point because the red loop bus took so long to get around, even though it skipped numerous stops. We were thankful that we did this in winter; imagine how long it would take in summer when the traffic is bad. It's disappointing that the early buses didn't make the most of the good traffic conditions.
