Was able to see all the best parts of the capital in a short amount of time whilst enjoying the open top views on a beautifully sunny day. The commentary was also helpful.

Thames River tour was awesome! Excellent tour hosts who provide a wonderful description of what you are seeing. Big Bus tour was good but there are many many more buses from other tour companies that pick up passengers while we waited for the Big Bus. We got off at one stop and had to wait one hour for a Big Bus tour bus to come back to pick us up. This prevented us from getting off at stops in the city as we were concerned that we would not be picked up and would not see the remainder of the blue or red route. We thought we had the evening tour included but our tickets printed "does not include night tour".

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.

Apr 2025Verified booking
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.

Very good for getting an overview of the city when you're short on time. Signposting and map to find stations could be improved

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.

I recommend it with my eyes closed. Discovery of London by coach and little cruise on the Thames. Simply magnificent tour of London. Tickets in the form of QR codes sent upon purchase. No problems at the various checkpoints. I'll be using Headout again for my next trips.

We thought the commentary was poor. Not enough information about all the sights. I understand you are catering to a broad band of customers. But we learned little about London

I liked everything, however at the time of booking you should make more emphasis on the fact that the hop-on hop-off Bus Tour company is Tootbus.

It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.

The experience with the bus was very good. Not so much with the cruise that was included.... According to the indications that came in the reservation the cruise departed and arrived at the same destination. But no... they made us get off at the last stop and pay again to return to the port of departure... a robbery...

The bus and the commentary were generally very good. However, compared to other hop on/hop off buses, the buses arrived infrequently and very irregularly.

The routes are good, the staff are friendly. Unfortunately, sometimes long waiting times and the inaccurate object description... sometimes it is unclear where the object is located. Otherwise satisfied. Thank you!

Due to the extreme traffic the three hours turned into five which included an unexpected 1/2 hour stop to change drivers. Maybe put this changeover could happen in a spot where there is something for the passengers to look at or to buy some refreshments. We were kind of stuck on the bus for the 30 minutes without anything to do.

It was great being able to see the iconic features of London. The bus tour was a long one and we needed to plan for just a couple of stops a day. We loved the Thames boat cruise. We had perfect weather to see so many different places.

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.

The mixture of an open top bus tour and a boat tour was a great experience! Buying the ticket online was easy and hassle-free.

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).

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
Eva-Maria
Mar 2025Verified booking
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.

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.

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.

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.

Especially the boat trip from the London Eye to the Tower with City Cruises was very entertaining, our narrator was a real entertainer! The bus trip was also very nice, hop-on and hop-off worked well, there were always at least 5 languages (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) available for the audio explanation during the trip, sometimes even significantly more languages. A clear recommendation!

We took advantage of the combo in the perfect way...bus from Trafalgar square to london tower bridge, walk to london tower and board the Thames. Finished the river cruise, immediately london Eye and then...bus for the rest of the day with various stops to visit other London neighborhoods...pretty much full day. Beautiful

I visited London with my 12-year-old daughter. We had a combo ticket hop-on hop-or bus, london eye and canal cruise. The hop-on hop-of bus is the best way to see a lot. We were able to see many major tourist attractions without walking through the helex city. A ticket combined with a ticket to the London eye is great. What a spectacular view we had of the city and for 30 min! The canal cruise was also wonderful. The guide could tell great stories. Really enjoyed it!

Amarell,
Apr 2025Verified booking
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.

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!

The tour was top-notch. We enjoyed the animations along the way (4D cinema and merry-go-round). The characters are very well done. We were a little disappointed not to see British legends such as the Beatles, Mr Bean, Harry Potter, etc., but we really recommend it. But definitely worth recommending

Thames River tour was awesome! Excellent tour hosts who provide a wonderful description of what you are seeing. Big Bus tour was good but there are many many more buses from other tour companies that pick up passengers while we waited for the Big Bus. We got off at one stop and had to wait one hour for a Big Bus tour bus to come back to pick us up. This prevented us from getting off at stops in the city as we were concerned that we would not be picked up and would not see the remainder of the blue or red route. We thought we had the evening tour included but our tickets printed "does not include night tour".

Perfect online tickets! We arrived at the museum more than an hour early and they let us in right away skipping the long line and without having to wait our turn. Madame Tussauds Museum really very nice and fun, definitely experience to recommend!

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.

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 nice but was very disappointed when I found out the penguin enclosure was shut for refurb, do I think it was worth over 70 quid for two people no, way to expensive fir what you get
Barbara

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.

I thought it was too busy and hot for us to really enjoy the experience - not enough big displays - we had to push forward to even see the displays and I don't think it was worth the money.
Fast, fun, and full of city lights, London’s night magic in just 90 minutes.
- Ditch the daytime crowds and get ready for glittering skyscrapers and iconic landmarks painted in nocturnal magic on a 90-min bus ride.
- This once-a-week or once-a-day tour (depending on the season) is as exclusive as British royalty, offering a front-row seat to London’s top sights bathed in a breathtaking twilight glow.
- Hop on board the open-top double-decker and let the audio guide in 10 languages be your entertaining and informative sidekick.
- Think Big Ben, London Eye, and Trafalgar Square but better, because it's all lit – see London dressed in its absolute best.

The bus did not show up at the agreed meeting point. We stood there with about 30 people and none of us received a message by email that the meeting point had changed. Over an hour's wait that day was in vain. Nobody could be reached by phone at this time either. The ticket costs were spent on nothing. I wrote a complaint to the provider 2 days later. The whole thing is now being investigated. The fact is that the meeting point has changed, but no one was informed. The costs may be refunded. Just wait and see! Otherwise, I have received a receipt number as compensation. I can use this to get 3 tickets for free next time I'm in London.

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.

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?
Absolutely! If you’re short on time, a Hop-on Hop-off bus tour is one of the best ways to maximize your visit. 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.
