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.

I really enjoyed it because I got to see effortlessly and indeed breezily all the most beautiful things in London. The only thing that didn't always work was the correspondence between the audio guide and the monument or place to see. Otherwise super 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?

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.
