Long wait between 2 buses (2 times 1h) and the audioguide is very short compared to other competitors.

The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.

I previously gave Tootbus a poor review. However, they have been very good about getting back to me with the problem. Apparently the problem is with who I bought the tickets from which was not Tootbus directly Tootbus has been very good about trying to solve my issues. Beware of who you buy your tickets from.

Great combined ticket for Tower of London + bus + Thames river. Of note : it is possible to embark on the cruise from the Tower of London and the go to Westminster Pier (not necessarily the other way round as indicated).

The best thing to do is to buy tickets for the tour from the vendors located at the stops. You receive good information and treatment, considering that we seniors do not always speak the language.

Ricer trip was great & crew superb, wonderful commentary The Big Bus tour had lots of off route time due to so many toad works around the Museum area & did not go past Buckingham Palace due to road works. At Tower Bridge there were no busses for more than 1/2 hour - staff said all the buses were bunched together. When the bus arrived it was too full to get on so we waited another 10 minutes for the next bus. Meanwhile loads of the other competitors busses went past. It's a lot of money to not provide a regular service, would not recommend Big Bus & would try another company next time

The lady at the St. Paul's Cathedral bus stop was fantastic. She was the best part of the experience! We booked online, but she was still incredibly helpful even throwing away my rubbish for me. And HOHO buses are always a fun way to see a lot lazily.

Seeing the city atop the 2nd level was great. The audio didn't always match up to the sites. Better. Communication of stops is needed, particularly on the later afternoon runs. We had to take the tube to get back to our hotel as the bus ended the route before we were back at our stop.

It was very difficult finding some of the stops/pickup locations even after asking several "agents" where they were located. One was busy on his phone and just pointed "over there "& another, also on his phone pointed to a completely different location, both annoyed with being interrupted. This caused us a lot of running around & missing busses. Also the blue bus in particular seemed to cross over one of the bridges multiple times causing us to sit in traffic for long periods of time. I would take cabs next time. Much more efficient and costs less.

This specific bus line, although there are many, seems to have the most stops and covers nearly every inch of the city. The drivers seem to have magical powers to get the bus through the very busy traffic and narrow streets of London. Easily a half day ride perhaps more if you ride the entire main loop. Multiple days if you use it to get on and off at stops.

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.

The localisation Of the stops is not acurate Impossible to download the app when you are French so it make more difficult to be at the right place at the right Time No other information about the stops than through the poor headphones.

The announcements always come after you have passed the object, i.e. late. The frequency as stated on the internet, e.g. red line every 15 minutes, was not adhered to. Maybe write that in the winter months the buses can have a different frequency.

Hello, I hope you are well. We had booked a ticket for the Hop-On Hop-Off bus on Saturday, February 1, 2025, and were able to start our tour as planned. However, due to the demonstrations on the streets of London, we were unable to continue our tour or take the various visits planned with the bus. In view of these exceptional circumstances, we would like to know if you could offer a commercial gesture or an alternative solution. We understand that this situation is beyond your control, but unfortunately we were unable to take full advantage of the service. We thank you in advance for your understanding and look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully Anaïs Guyaux

1. We bought our tickets on your Headout website at 10:47am on 28th January – your website said the tickets would be valid till 6pm 2. We went to board the bus at 11am and the lady who validated our tickets clearly told us that tour service would stop at 2:30pm for a company event and we should contact the company who sold us the tickets for a refund. 3. That is when I called to complain. 4. We stayed on the bus until 2:15pm – got off at a stop – we did not see any more buses after that and had to take an Uber back to the train station.

Excellent ticket package, bus service was frequent enough and had 3 great routes. The drivers were courteous and helpful in our journey. We also took advantage of the added benefit of a Thames river cruise from Westminster pier to the Tower Pier. Will definitely use Headout again!

We waited more than 20 minutes at a meeting point. We had to change stations to catch a bus that wasn't full.

From where we were situated on the orange line made it very difficult to get to the blue line because of the busses only coming every hour

We waited three quarters of an hour at the bus stop (which was 3 minutes from the hotel) and no bus came. The buses simply changed their route. We then walked to another meeting point and had to wait there for another half an hour. It was about 1.5 hours before we could actually set off. The audio guide information was far too little, the music was annoying and was more than the information in total!

I liked NOTHING!!! I felt that you mis-advertised the process. I expected 20 minutes between busses. The truth was there was an hour between busses. I am glad that I realized this early in the morning and was able to us the local busses to continue my trip. I will be writing to the tourist board and detailing my problems and experiences.

Nothing, considering that we waited 45 minutes on Friday, November 29, without a single bus from your company, even though several buses from other UP and off companies passed by. I should point out that I was at the right location, where Golden Tour was well signposted. What's more, this changed our entire stay because we had to take the metro for 2 days, incurring additional costs, and on top of that, they wouldn't refund us. Total rip-off.

The route was not as described and then we were told that the journey was being aborted, and that we had to get off and walk and they wouldn't be resuming the tour for several hours. We had 5 young children with us stuck in a very busy part of central London. So we didn't have a great experience because the experience didn't exist.

Having to wait over an hour for an orange bus and times of the buses we only managed to get one bus which spending £196 for 7 of us was not worth it. Very unhappy

I hate the music between the sights. I would much rather have a live guide. Not enough time to get on or off.. bad communication on where we are so we had a chance to get off. At on stop we waited for the yellow route. We even said so to a guide at the stop. We waited 30 min and asked the guide again... then he told us that the bus just left 5 min ago. We were there the whole Tim and no bus said yellow route. Then he said it is called the museum route!! Why do you have the top on the busses say red and blue route and then for the yellow it said museum??? It waisted so much of our time and the yellow route was not even worth the wait.

It was very easy to buy tickets at Headout. I managed to get a place at the venues the night before, when they were no longer available anywhere else. The package Palace of Holyrrodhouse, Edinburgh Castle, plus Bus Op-Off for 48 hours is an excellent value for money.

I will be challening this charge the minute I get back home in the US. Your website charged me for a visit that couldn't possibly happen. My wife & I walked miles from our hotel to get to Holyrood, AFTER buying tickets for that day and the place was CLOSED! You sold us passes to a venue that was CLOSED!!!!! We feel as though you stole our money. If it is not FULLY refunded soon we will challenge it & I am very positve our bank will refund the money. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. An employee at Holyrood & another shop owner told us others have also had this very same complaint. You all need to get your crap together & stop doing this to people!

It's a great way to tour the city and see the sights. Unfortunately, on The Edinburgh Tour green bus, the only language offered was English, but several languages were available on the other two tours. Stops and directions are well indicated. We liked the fact that the 48-hour ticket period begins when the ticket is validated.

My experience on the 1 day trip was fine. My disappointment was the unavailable of the Britannia trip, as it was closed for Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday. My visit was Monday. I e. I only visited 2 out of three attractions that I purchased. The free bus services does not cover the trip to the Britannia, as it was way out of the 48 hours limit. Propose do not set the limit of the bus services, since there is possible of venue closure. Thanks for your attention. Cheers. John

5/5

The experience was awsome. I felt like Joey and Chandler visiting London. (Friends people will know what I am talking about) What I loved about it was the fact that we had the option to hop on and off whenever we wanted, which gave us the chance to stop at the sites that we wanted to explore further. Also the price compared to other companies was good. Definitely recommend.

Well, after many hours of searching for close bis stop (the ones around London Eye were not functioning due to not one but three strikes) The boat ride from Westminster (out back up plan for the time being) was cancelled. I have been very upset to not to be able to show my partner around London as well as expected. At that point he wanted to walk to the Buckingham Palace, to see that at least. From there we eventually joined your bus journey and the lady from BB Tour extended our tickets for another day. We were not able to use it for more than few hours. But at least we could enjoy the morning boat ride, before continuing our trip away from London. That was realy good experience, as the ride was comfortable, fun with one of the boat staff talking about the whole journey. Also we loved the bus ride, when we could. The London Eye ride was great, too. The problem was the inconvenience with the strike events and at that time not having live information on your app, as to where is the nearest warking stop. Appart of that we loved it.

4/5

Ticket booking and admission were super reliable. You should plan enough time for the Tower; this is actually a day program. The jewels are beautiful and can be viewed in peace despite the crowds. The crowds are hardly anyone's fault, as we were there too. Apart from that, the Tower is a great and really worth seeing site with lots of small exhibitions and attractions. Overall, London is impressive. You can't see all the highlights with peace, quiet and a sense of culture and art, and it's better to pay the entrance fee selectively. We would rather come back and would be happy to be your customers again. Many thanks and best wishes to the funny ravens.

Azacquiring tickets was very easy, ditto accessing the Tower of London by simply showing the QR codes on your smartphone. We were able to enter without any problem as much as an hour and a half early, perhaps because it was not too crowded, and we visited the site for about 8 hours, availing ourselves of an audio guide in Italian for only £5 each.

It was a very well organized place. I loved the fact that it is much more than the Crown Jewels. It is like a little village where people (guards) still live in nowadays. Amazing for children as well because of all the attractions and theatres during the visit. Would come back!

We had an unexpected free day in London at the end of our stay so decided we'd try to get to the Tower to visit again after 40 years. A quick search online brought up the Headout site where we had all the information we needed at our fingertips to book tickets there and then for entry in 90 minutes time so we were able to find our way and arrive on time with no queing for tickets. The experience surpassed every expectation we had, from the immersive information displays, the atmosphere as we passed through the buildings and grounds to the splendour of the Crown Jewels. A special mention to the Volunteers who were so knowledgeable and went out of their way to help. It was the best experience of our visit and we stayed for 90 minutes longer than planned to fit in all that was on offer to see. Thanks to Headout the whole process of booking was A1

We were very surprised that all the wax figures are accessible, can even be touched and are not separated from the visitors! We missed Mr. Besn, Michael Jackson, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts. The Royal Family is the center of attraction! However, the staggered entry means that there are rarely crowds. The 4D cinema is also worth a visit. The cab ride could be a little slower for our taste because there is soooo much to see! Overall, it's a destination that was well worth a visit! The Regentspark behind it should also be visited!

It is modern and interesting with amazing toppings like the 4d Show or the Taxi-ride. Totally different and suprising than nearly 25 years ago. Also the age doesn't matter - the whole family had an amazing time.

In all honesty I didn't think this museum was so much fun. The statues really well done but the closing with 4d cinema and tour in old London really super top, especially for those with kids. Definitely the ticket is not cheap but at least you spend 2 fun hours.

Ricer trip was great & crew superb, wonderful commentary The Big Bus tour had lots of off route time due to so many toad works around the Museum area & did not go past Buckingham Palace due to road works. At Tower Bridge there were no busses for more than 1/2 hour - staff said all the buses were bunched together. When the bus arrived it was too full to get on so we waited another 10 minutes for the next bus. Meanwhile loads of the other competitors busses went past. It's a lot of money to not provide a regular service, would not recommend Big Bus & would try another company next time

It was my first Aquarium visit, So i thought everyhing was interesting. I loved The tortoise and The jellyfish. I think it would of been Better without The people stoping in random places, blocking The view, to eat. There were 2 places with a bit more space for rest where people stayed like in a picnic place.

Seeing the city atop the 2nd level was great. The audio didn't always match up to the sites. Better. Communication of stops is needed, particularly on the later afternoon runs. We had to take the tube to get back to our hotel as the bus ended the route before we were back at our stop.

It was very difficult finding some of the stops/pickup locations even after asking several "agents" where they were located. One was busy on his phone and just pointed "over there "& another, also on his phone pointed to a completely different location, both annoyed with being interrupted. This caused us a lot of running around & missing busses. Also the blue bus in particular seemed to cross over one of the bridges multiple times causing us to sit in traffic for long periods of time. I would take cabs next time. Much more efficient and costs less.

This specific bus line, although there are many, seems to have the most stops and covers nearly every inch of the city. The drivers seem to have magical powers to get the bus through the very busy traffic and narrow streets of London. Easily a half day ride perhaps more if you ride the entire main loop. Multiple days if you use it to get on and off at stops.

It was absolutely fabulous and the best surprise for my best friends birthday! however we were disappointed about the no penguins :( so we will have to book another train and come back to see them. It was quite frustrating as of course the penguins are on the wall and stuff, but there were no signs saying no penguins. A lot of other people in the gift shop were asking about the penguins aswell and felt slightly let down.

The experience was awsome. I felt like Joey and Chandler visiting London. (Friends people will know what I am talking about) What I loved about it was the fact that we had the option to hop on and off whenever we wanted, which gave us the chance to stop at the sites that we wanted to explore further. Also the price compared to other companies was good. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I are from Australia and we thoroughly enjoyed our open-top bus tour of the London Christmas Lights . The very comprehensive route around London covered a wonderful selection of illuminations and famous sights. A real highlight for us was our guide who joined us on the upper deck and gave us a brilliantly informed commrntary along the route. His sense of humour and interaction with the passengers was excellent. Well recommended.

Tips to make the best of your Hop-on Hop-off London tour

  • London has so much to offer, from the majestic Buckingham Palace to the lively vibe of Camden Market. Take a moment to look at the map and plan which landmarks and neighborhoods you really want to visit. That way, you can focus on enjoying the sights, not stressing over logistics.
  • If you want to get a full day of sightseeing, it’s a good idea to start your tour early. Buses begin running in the morning, so catching the first one means you’ll have plenty of time to visit more attractions at a leisurely pace. Plus, early mornings tend to be a bit quieter, which is perfect if you want to avoid big crowds.
  • Don’t just stick to one route—use your pass to explore all the different lines. You might want to start with the central city route for all the famous landmarks, then switch to a route that takes you to areas like the picturesque Notting Hill or the quirky Shoreditch. Switching up routes gives you a broader view of London, letting you experience the contrast between the historic center and the cool, modern neighborhoods.
  • A lot of Hop-on Hop-off buses in London come with an audio guide that gives you interesting facts about the places you’re passing. You’ll probably be surprised at how much you didn’t know about London, and it makes your tour feel a lot more interactive and fun!
  • London weather can be unpredictable, so make sure to check the forecast before heading out. If it looks like rain, pack an umbrella or a rain jacket, especially if you want to sit on the open-top bus. If it’s sunny, don’t forget sunscreen, as those hours in the open air can get pretty toasty.  
  • London is one of the most photogenic cities in the world, so make sure to snap some pictures while you’re on the tour. The view from the top deck is perfect for photos of Big Ben, the Shard, and the London skyline. But also remember to put down your camera sometimes and take in the view with your own eyes—you don’t want to miss out on experiencing the city in real-time!

Frequently asked questions about Hop-on Hop-off London tour

What if I’m only in London for a short time? Is a Hop-on Hop-off tour still worth it?

The multiple routes cover major landmarks, so you’ll get a complete overview of London’s must-see sights without feeling rushed. Plus, with buses running frequently, you can see more in a day without spending extra time figuring out transportation.

Do I need to reserve my seats?

No need! Hop-on Hop-off buses don’t require seat reservations. Just show up at any stop with your ticket, and hop on board. The top deck is usually first-come, first-served, so if you want those prime seats with a view, arrive a bit early!

What’s the best time to start the tour?

Starting early is key to making the most of your day. Catch the first bus around 8 or 9 a.m. to avoid crowds and fit in as many attractions as possible. With early mornings often being less busy, you can enjoy a more peaceful start to your adventure and have plenty of time to explore each stop along the way.

What if the weather changes? Are there covered seats?

Yes, most Hop-on Hop-off buses offer covered seating on the lower deck. If it rains or the weather turns chilly, you can easily head downstairs and still enjoy the tour. Of course, London’s weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always smart to bring a light jacket or umbrella just in case!

Do Hop-on Hop-off buses have wheelchair access?

Yes, these buses are designed to be accessible. They have dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, making it easier for all visitors to enjoy the tour. If you have specific needs, let the staff know—they’ll be happy to assist with boarding or answer any accessibility questions you may have.

How do I know when the next bus will arrive?

Most Hop-on Hop-off operators provide a mobile app with real-time updates. You can track your bus, see the estimated arrival time at each stop, and even check for any route changes. It’s super convenient and helps you make the most of your day without waiting around!

Can I bring a stroller or pushchair on the bus?

Yes, strollers and pushchairs are welcome on the Hop-on Hop-off buses! Since London is best explored with the family, the buses are designed to help make your journey smooth. Just remember that space can be limited, so collapsible or smaller pushchairs are easiest to manage on board.

What should I bring along for the best experience on my tour?

For the most enjoyable trip, consider bringing a few essentials: a camera for capturing London’s iconic landmarks, some water to stay hydrated, and comfortable shoes for when you hop off to explore. And of course, keep your smartphone handy to track buses and follow route maps via the app.

Do I need to book in advance, or can I buy tickets on the spot?

While you can sometimes purchase tickets at the bus stop, booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons. This way, you secure your spot, get instant confirmation, and can access any added perks or discounts that come with booking online. Plus, it helps you skip any wait times and hop right on to start exploring!

Can I bring luggage on the Hop-on Hop-off London buses?

You can bring small-sized luggage onboard the sightseeing bus. Big suitcases may not be permitted due to space constraints.
