Best way to see it all - We were lucky to have a hotel very close to the marble arch stop. So a quick five minute walk and we were on the hop on hop off for the day. Great way to see the city. Recommend sitting up top at the front if possible. We added the two day option and went on the cruise down to Greenwich. Also well worth it. A little cool on the upper decks, but the sites are amazing.

A great way to see and learn about the city - We did the 48hr bus tour and participated in the Royal Walk Tour and the Jack the Ripper Walk Tour. The bus tour was a great way to learn about the city and its history, along with getting around to different attractions and museums. The three routes allow for full coverage and access. Our tour guide for both tours was Vikki and she was great. The timing for the Royal Walk and the way she was able to rearrange the schedule to ensure that we got to see everything was great. The Jack the Ripper tour was very informative and interesting. We enjoyed both. Unfortunately, we weren't able to catch the Thames River tour - I wish there was more information provided on that attraction beforehand. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this activity when visiting London. It is a must.

Pick This Sightseeing Bus Tour! - We love city bus tours. It’s a great way to learn about a city without being utterly exhausted at the end of each day!!! Hop on Hop off options are great as well. You just have to keep track of your time. We usually like to try doing them twice in the same day. Sometimes you get a different recording or driver. In London, the recording was the same. All the tours do the same just maybe a street or two different. This tour company had 3 loops. We only had time for 2 of the 3. We were able to hop off in various neighborhoods and see some other things more in depth.

On Off Bus in London - Very convenient and excellent narration of London history. We rode the blue and red lines with timely connections. Only mix up came at the end when we couldn't tell if we'd missed our last bus (app didn't update). We then used public transportation to get back to our hotel easily. We'd definitely do it again.

Good Routes but poor information - Enjoyed the tour and used the bus to get around town on our own but the audio guide was pretty lame. They didn’t give much info about each stop so I ended up looking things up on the internet to fill in the blanks. The bus is useful if you have your own tour planned and just use it for transportation.

City sightseeing hop on hop off London - So so tour. Good way to get an idea of city and locations. Recorded guide information was fair at best, limited information, disappointing. The worst part when buying the tickets ahead/ online is figuring out how to actually find a bus stop. We wasted a lot of time figuring that out, asking people on the streets for guidance. I don’t recommend overall. First bus driver was lovely however, very helpful.

Poor for the moneh - Paid over £100 for 3 tickets then had to get off the bus and onto a more crowded bus half way through the tour. No explanation offered as to why.

Waste of money - Terrible and waste of money. You spend all your time in a traffic jam. Bette to download the TFL app and just use regular buses.
