Our biggest surprise was the "Jack the Ripper" walking tour with Emma. Outstanding! We enjoyed riding around London, and didn't discover the audio until late in the ride. We liked the different stops, but we stayed on until the Tower of London. Wonderful tour, and able to buy the tickets from the Headout vendor at the Tower. Thank you for the trip.

Great way to explore the city. Especially the route around the London bridge and the Big Ben was exciting. To go around the corners and be surprised bij the views, was great.

אהבתי שהאוטובוס זמין, עצירה במגוון תחנות, אפשר לתזמן את ההגעה דרך האפליקציה, ומתי להגיע לכול נקודה ותחנה. אפשר לבחור בין הקווים ולעבור בניהם. חוץ מפעם אחת תמיד היה מקום באוטובוס, וגם ההמתנה הייתה מספר דקות. לדעתי אם היה הסבר גם בעברית זה היה מועיל. ההסבר באנגלית למי שלא דובר אנגלית טוב, קצת ארוך ומצריך ריכוז כדי להבין. עברית כמובן היה מקל. הייתי עם הבת שלי , בת 30, גם כשלא ירדנו בכול התחנות נהננו לראות מהאוטובוס וחווינו את העיר והמקומות תוך כדי הנסיעה. הזמן שלנו היה קצר וכך. . קנינו גם כרטיס משולב עם שיט, הייצה חוויה כוללת למצות אטרקציות. הרגשנו שהספקנו יותר לראות.

The bus tour was really nice and interesting because we had time to admire and take in the buildings around us, and the audio guide was very helpful in explaining what was around us, including some fun facts.

    We found this was an excellent way to see the city. We did a two day tour. The first day we road all the routes and noted which ones we wanted to stop at for the next day. The river cruise was excellent and well worth the trip. Would recommend this for anyone coming to London. Let them do the driving.
