The views from the open-top level of the bus were amazing, and the complimentary audio was a nice touch. Booking the tickets was straightforward; however, it was a bit confusing figuring out which bus to take since there are several "hop on, hop off" companies operating on the same route. Additionally, the ending time was unclear, and after waiting 10 minutes for a bus, we were informed it would only be going to one more stop. As a result, we ended up having to walk 40 minutes back to our rental.
Hello guys, You wrote me that i booked only the Hop onHop off Ticket buy i had the Themse included which didn't work. Never mind.But don't write me please that i booked only the Hop on hop off.I can still see the Ticket a d It Is clearly there.
I did enjoy the bus tour. I did want to share that on your website and even on the actual bus stop - it says that your bus stop begins at Green Park Station. You do not stop there at all. Please make that correction so others do not waste time waiting like we did.
Hello, it was very nice with the bus. Unfortunately, we didn't have a map of the bus stops at the beginning and we couldn't download one from the app, so we wandered around London. A nice supervisor from another bus company then helped us. The boat trip was great, but without a German guide. Bye

Hop on hop off bus London was really good. Easy to book and the buses came in good time, as advertised. Commentary was also informative and interesting. No complaints from me.
Excellent way to see the city, we can get off and off at the various stops. The Portuguese is the Brazilian version, this aspect could be improved.
Bought tickets online and saved 10% but your pick up at green park was non existent even though it had it in the sign. So we waited 30 minutes for nothing and had to walk pretty far for pick up instead of right across from the hotel. Other than that which was quite important to us because of my husband's hip, it was good
The route and the bus travelling mismatched which caused lot of trouble in planning our trip. The drivers were rude and unhelpful and racist. We were given a bad treatment and were literally pushed out from bus. It was so bad that we had to take a cab to go to our hotel rather than find a right bus in the evening. The river cruise trip included was also single side and not return and we were not informed which made our life difficult as we were stuck on other side assuming we will be dropped at starting point. Imagine going through this with an eight year old daughter with you throughout the day and her experience with such bad behaviour. It was a vexing and tiresome experience.
Easy to get tickets online, I wish your app had a map that eased the path for initially catching the bus. There are so many different companies and it was a bit confusing to try to find the right bus.
We bought the tickets at short notice and got great seats in the pretty Novello Theater. We really enjoyed the show.

Do you regularly skip stops? We wanted to get off the bus, however he never stopped to allow us the oppotunity at a stop. Poor service. I'm sure he was just trying to end his shift early.
1. The HOHO bus stopped and waited for long periods., thus spending a lot of time sitting in one place. Then should depart a stop as soon as passengers have got off and got on. 2. I uderstand that route may be changed to avoid traffic congestion etc, however the stops shown on map did not match with actual - e.g Green Park. 3. We had stood at a stop (no 12 on map) for approx. 5mts because the sign board at stop clearly said " City sightseeing" and the bus just bypassed us!. Stopped about 100 mtrs ahead. By the time we reached the bus had left. then it took another 15-20 mts for next bus to arrive. Updates like this should be informed. 4. While the bus drivers in general were courteous, one (of black ethnicity) was rude when replying my query re changeover stop for blue from red bus. They need to be reminded that customers pay their wages.
It went past every place we wanted. It was great to do the Thames cruise. it was a highlight. The commentary was fine - imformative and entertainment.
Easy to book online. Staff waiting for us at all points of embarkment and disembarkment of bus so extremely reassuring and answered all our queries without hesitation and with a big smile! Bus clean and bus driver fabulous. Voice over informative, easy to hear and incredibly well timed! :-) Loved the cruise and lines and thought it was exceptional value for money.
I responded earlier but seem not to have the option for the negative feedback from the overall good experience. On the first day we waited for 45 minutes at the British Museum, but the bus never showed. We caught the bus later at the hotel. Also, pollution seems higher on the top deck and in traffic. I often had to clean black soot out of my nostrils after a bus ride, and our family all caught colds after our first two days of bus rides. We came again for another one-day and had similar pollution problems. The Edinburgh ticket worked nicely, and we stayed out of the rain as well. We did not use public transportation there.
Very informative commentary BUT would have been easier to follow if each stop was announced by the numbers on your map. The drivers were very nice and helpful
We loved Everything! Well organized. Point of improvement: we were not aware (or maybe missed) about the fact earphones were lying in the bus. It is nice to communicate a list of "nice to know/ practical info" immediately after the online purchase of tickets.
Very friendly drivers, helpful and informative
very good, it covers all the important places
Very educational and a great route (red).
The possibilities of the formula encourage even more exploration of the std

Great to experience the city on bus. I always use City Sightseeing to see the city
Servizio efficiente e cordiali e puntuali. Sarebbe ancora meglio se l'orario delle corse durassero di più.
The red route covered everything we wanted to see and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We've been taking the Big Bus for a long time. This is the first time we've had to wait so long to catch a bus. We looked at the waiting time on the app, but it kept changing. Also, once it arrived, it could be crowded, which sometimes prevented us from sitting down and/or listening to the audio guide.

Seamless ticeketing procedure online.Wonderfyl!The itenerary has been very well planned with a running commentary it made the tour comfortable and easy to connect with the places we passed by.
Ticketing was easy and very convenient. Loved being able to get around and get off at the places we wanted to see more of.
Open roof bus is great. But audio guide was interrupted and cut-off many, many times. So information was lost, what you saw driving by. Sometimes it was also not clear which house etc. the guide talked about, as we had passed it already or where not there yet. Or the description was too vague. The audio guide is the added benefit compared to driving around the city with the regular much cheaper bus lines. If the audio guide doesn't work properly, the tour is not worth its price.
Love the ability to use the hop on hop off at many locations. Just a bit muddling as to where the stops were , that is which side of the street you get the bus . Also the blue is a bit too long fir one ride.
Got to see alot but it was the hottest day of the year and it was very hot on top. We did come prepared with hats and water. However the English haven't invented aircon yet so it was very hot when we had to sit downstairs. I can imagine it would be freezing in winter.
being able to cover all the major attractions with flexibility on choosing which one to see and where to get off. different routes (red and blue) help as well in terms of some planning for the sights the river cruise was excellent (with the weather being great as well on the day) One issue that we encountered was that the frequency would vary for the buses and the app at times wasnt that helpful.
Made a list of what we wanted to see. Saw everything using hop on hop off bus..brilliant we also went on the river cruise from Tower Bridge to Westminster.
It was very convenient. The drivers were so helpful any time I had questions. Would be nice if buses were air conditioned or windows opened more.
The sights of London. However, we noticed that there were no many Red route buses in comparison to the Blue route buses. We had to wait at Hyde Park corner for over 20 minutes for a Red bus, but 4 Blue buses came & went in that time.
The bus tour was great, it included the main sites to visit and the application with the whole route and stops is very helpful. I'll suggest to find a common stop to connect the 3 routes (green, blue and red) to enjoy a full trip. Also, the cruise for the Thames river was only one way, we thought it was a round trip and that we will return to the same place we started to continue with the hop on hop off route but had to walked some time to go back and start again the route.
The map you have on your website is no longer accurate so we waited around for several busses to get on the ORANGE line and it no longer exists. With everyone using technology today, you should update your map on your site.
It was good to see the attractions and have some info about them. Unfortunately the map we got with our tickets was out of date so we wasted a lot of time looking for where to catch the bus. Once we got the bus we had the up to date version and could work out where to go.
Easy to order online, only issue was confirmation e mail stated photo I'd required to relinquish tickets. I had no photo ID. Contacted the help chat and was reassured this was not needed. Plenty of buses available good commentary, friendly drivers. Loved driving over Tower bridge.
We checked in for the first time and the driver simply waived us back and did not direct us to the earphones. We had to figure out the audio system on our own. It was a hot day and the downstairs if our bus was stiffling; once we moved upstairs it was better. Tour was good once we got deleted in; explanations on the audio guide need to be updated now that there is a new monarch in place.
We had a great time on our London hop on hop off tour with Big Bus. The addition is the one way Thames River cruise was a really nice addition although some of the information for this could have been easier to find on the websites. The bus tours were good except that some of the stops near Picadilly were changed because of detours and we didn't know about this until the bus was driving off route according to the map. We ended up getting off and course correcting ourselves. The commentary on the bus is pre recorded which was informative and fine but know that it does repeat some of the facts at different points.
The bus had issues with several of the audio outlets and at leas six of the plug-in boxed did not work around the seats I had. The 1:35 hr trip took nearly 4 hr due to traffic problems (no fault of the bus/service)...😕
The mate on the river cruise was funny and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed it! After three days of walking, the bus was a great way to see the city and test the feet.
