We took the bus tour as a way of visiting London with friends visiting from Slovakia We liked the choice of routes but were disappointed that the bus did not go close to Buckingham palace . We especially likedthe river cruise with its commentary . It was a very busy day with very heavy traffic at times which made progress along the routes.very slow. Overall it was a good way to see the main sites of London but due to the time we had to get off the bus at paddington so could not complete the blue route.

Good circuits, pleasant customer service.
Having some upstairs option undercover a good idea.
Having a pick up outside the station very helpful.
On the bad side:
Low quality ear buds, some brand new ones not working.
Some sound outlets also not working, meaning that you have to change seats to get a working outlet.
This email is incorrect as we did NOT book a river cruise as time did not permit.

We had a fantastic time with the Tootbus hop-on hop-off and Thames cruise combo! The boat ride was absolutely stunning — a true highlight of our London trip, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. However, the app wasn’t updated, so the bus didn’t stop where we expected at times, which was a bit confusing. Still, overall a great experience and highly recommended for first-time visitors!

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.

The hop on hop off was easy. The staff was nice and helpful. We had 1 issue with a headset jack, but beyond that, everything was easy.. There was a bit of confusion about which app was appropriate for the day, but once sorted, it was helpful. We really enjoyed the live commentary on the boat. The Hyde Park stop can be a little confusing...we were dropped at 1 spot and picked up at another

The audio guide on the Green Route was spoken by AI. All the English names were so incomprehensible and ridiculous. Very embarrassing! The Blue Route on 18-20.8.25 was different than on the app. Stations were omitted and no precise, binding information was given. When we asked a Tootbus employee, he said: They know the problem and are working on it. Thank you, but this information would be important so that you don't wait in vain for half an hour at a station that wasn't even called at!

Liked it but the waiting between yellow line and blue line needs to be improved . the staff on the ground should know and communicate the waiting times, not say the bus arrives every 15-20 minutes and then actually arrives after 45 as happened

The boat trip on the Thames was great. Especially the tour guide. He spoke very clearly so that I understood everything well even with my English. We only did the yellow route on the city tour. The information underneath was not that good. But overall the tour was recommended

We wanted to get on the green route at King's Cross and would have had to wait over 45 minutes. We then took the underground to Westminster and got on the bus there. The yellow route was great! Also the tour guide over the headphones! Very good! The blue route was very difficult to get through the traffic. I thought the price for the one-day ticket was too expensive. Especially as I bought it for a total of 4 people.

Plenty of stops and helpful roadside staff on the yellow line were a godsend On a wet Saturday in London there were many problems on the roads and the drivers were terrible. Stair hatches not closed and leaking downstairs windows and doors made it miserable. Drivers were not engaging, drove with both excessive speed and heavy braking, and too much horn. One driver on blue route between Harrods and Marble Arch had his head covered by his hoodie the whole time, did not wait for people to sit down before moving and said nothing. He should not be doing this job!

Really helpful staff, however couldn't find the QR code on the river cruise to listen to the commentary, and couldn't find the headsets for the commentary on the bus. Bus route diversion due to local challenges wasn't explained so not sure if we went past what we wanted to see. Otherwise, a good trip and would do it again.

I bought ticket online on the day I was in London. Struggled to find the timetable for the buses or bus stops locations even though I downloaded both apps...ended up calling customer service and they advised me the nearest stop from my current location. No tour host on the bus and my audio didn't work. Green route bus never came at 19:20 when we needed to get to Kings Cross to catch our train. We walked for 30mins to the 39 stop to be there on time for the last route and the bus nevevr came. When we finally saw the bus approaching at zirca 19:45, the bus driver said he had his last round and was not taking us. We were baffled as we were waiting on the stop from about 19:15 with other people too but the bus never came. Driver asked us to complain to the bus driver who was parked in this parking space which is why he couldn't stop there....we were there on time, yet the driver was neither emphatetic nor apologetic for the fact that he messed up as we werw waiting at the stop and he was the one who failed to collect us.

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".

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.

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.

Our first attempt to get on the bus at stop 13 was denied 3 times. The driver wouldn't open the door. You were clearly oversold for that time of day yet accepted our order around the same time. A suggestion is to advise anyone placing an order be notified of which stoppa were heavy. Other companies were picking up people at the same spot without issue.

The staff were very helpful and there were no issues with staff. However I choose big bus as the company stated that buses were every 20-30 mins ect. However this was not the case. We were waiting for much longer periods compared to the cheaper companies who appeared to have a better service. I would never book with the company again. Paying the extra was a waste of money. I would not recommend to friends or family

But finding the bus stops was tricky without the bus map and knowledge if London. Better signage if bus stops is needed and need to ensure everyone has thebus route map.

The tour of London is always pleasant, but the bus took very, very long breaks and the initial stop was difficult to identify in the street. I also found the tours less complete than a few years ago.

The Blue bus and drivers were never at the stops. Waited 40 plus minutes multiple times. Gave up and walked. The very first driver was a jerk. While waiting 15 min to leave he would not answer questions. When he finally did, he blamed the ticket seller, even tho we bought on line. Rode one Red route and it was fine,

The riders did not keep the stops, maybe they skipped them completely and we had to move on and then wait a long time for the next one. Given this and the long delays, I definitely do not recommend this company

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.

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.

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 London Eye experience was memorable. The website for the pre-booking had some problems in the week before the selected day (it seemed like there was no availability in the whole day). However, 3 days before the visit everything worked fine and we managed to book a time slot. We arrived about 15 min before the scheduled time, but they allowed us (me and my family) to go. There was almost no queue at 10:15 am and we really enjoyed the view.
The Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour was good and we appreciated the description of the sites during the tour. However, at 13:30 the bus was late and after about 45 min waiting we decided to take the metro.
The Thames river cruise was wonderful! We really enjoyed the visiting and the descriptions by the boat staff.

The combined ticket was a last-minute offer that we took advantage of. Overall, we saved more than the 30% mentioned because we didn't use public transport (but Big Bus).
Really great: super friendly staff, super detailed directions, including the signs at the stops. For us, all parts of the ticket deserved a particularly good rating.

We start with the London eye the view was fantastic, then we took the River cruise, a few steps from the London eye that is a plus for this combo. The next day we took the hop on - hop off taking a view of the highlight land of the city taking a lot pictures and visiting important areas is the city. I highly recommender this combo.

At the end of the day, we were at the stop. The driver slowed down. Clearly looked at us. We waved our arms to show that we wanted to load the bus. He didn't stop and continued down the road. He clearly intentionally left us. It was really strange. We ended up having to take an Uber instead of finishing the tour - because we had dinner reservations and couldn't wait for another bus. Wasn't impressed.

We start with the London eye the view was fantastic, then we took the River cruise, a few steps from the London eye that is a plus for this combo. The next day we took the hop on - hop off taking a view of the highlight land of the city taking a lot pictures and visiting important areas is the city. I highly recommender this combo.

The London Eye experience was memorable. The website for the pre-booking had some problems in the week before the selected day (it seemed like there was no availability in the whole day). However, 3 days before the visit everything worked fine and we managed to book a time slot. We arrived about 15 min before the scheduled time, but they allowed us (me and my family) to go. There was almost no queue at 10:15 am and we really enjoyed the view. The Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour was good and we appreciated the description of the sites during the tour. However, at 13:30 the bus was late and after about 45 min waiting we decided to take the metro. The Thames river cruise was wonderful! We really enjoyed the visiting and the descriptions by the boat staff.

The combined ticket was a last-minute offer that we took advantage of. Overall, we saved more than the 30% mentioned because we didn't use public transport (but Big Bus). Really great: super friendly staff, super detailed directions, including the signs at the stops. For us, all parts of the ticket deserved a particularly good rating.

Great value for all 3 activities. HOHO Bus has their own troubles. We had to wait at stops for a long time and once we had to change buses even. Just disorganized but the river and the London eye were well organized and great experiences

Finding this bus stops were confusing and we didn't know we had to get a printed ticket. It took us more than an hour to find a Big Bus bus and the man printed out our ticket and brought us to a stop point to wait for the bus. However, the bus stop we were at we were there prior waiting for what felt like an hour and saw zero Big Bus busses. We kept seeing other bus brands stopping which made us wish we chose a different company to do the hop on hop off bus tour. Overall if I can do this again I would choose a different company.

The river cruise was excellent but a bit too short for me(We are planning to book a longer cruise) . I especially enjoyed the live commentary by the boat crew. The London Eye experience was well organised and the wait was not too long. BUT we found the recorded bus commentary not great and the volume of the recorded music , too loud and repetitive!

The Hop-on Hop-off Tour was great and the guys that are available at the different stops were very helpful with providing maps and information. The boat tour was also really nice. I was a little disappointed however in the London Eye experience. I didn't realize I was going up in such a large group. It felt like I was being pushed into it like cows/cattle. One little girl tripped into the container because of that. Also, I could tell several people in our container were uncomfortable because of the amount of people. It was hard to space out and get all the pictures we wanted and some people smelled. I would not recommend it to anyone unless they book it with a group size that takes up the whole container of just people they know and want to ride up with.

The combination is a winner because the two national monuments are close together and there is no need to walk far to reach either. A Tower of London requires in our opinion at least half a day, the things to see are many and all very interesting. The staff is always very helpful and the Tower guards very nice, there are also volunteers here to approach for any information, recognizable by the orange tunic. The Tower Bridge surprised us with the scenic walkway and the engine room's overview of the old but incredible solutions used until 1976 to raise the bulkheads. All perfectly preserved! In short, a must see!

We took the bus tour as a way of visiting London with friends visiting from Slovakia We liked the choice of routes but were disappointed that the bus did not go close to Buckingham palace . We especially likedthe river cruise with its commentary . It was a very busy day with very heavy traffic at times which made progress along the routes.very slow. Overall it was a good way to see the main sites of London but due to the time we had to get off the bus at paddington so could not complete the blue route.

We had a fantastic time with the Tootbus hop-on hop-off and Thames cruise combo! The boat ride was absolutely stunning — a true highlight of our London trip, with beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. However, the app wasn’t updated, so the bus didn’t stop where we expected at times, which was a bit confusing. Still, overall a great experience and highly recommended for first-time visitors!

Had a great day - Tower of London in the morning and Tower Bridge in the afternoon. Be prepared for lots of stairs but well worth the effort. Best to visit the Crown Jewels first before the crowds arrive. We enjoyed the armoury as well. Great views from the bridge.

The Tower of London is a real tour! Starting with the Walls and then going into each tower which has its own history, the inside of the courtyard, the Crown Jewels and the ravens. All wonderful! Also nice is the Tower Bridge crossing, though less engaging because it is shorter and less detailed. In any case, COMBO highly recommended! 💯

The hop on hop off was easy. The staff was nice and helpful. We had 1 issue with a headset jack, but beyond that, everything was easy.. There was a bit of confusion about which app was appropriate for the day, but once sorted, it was helpful. We really enjoyed the live commentary on the boat.

The exhibition at Madame Tussauds was just mega nice! 😍
Everything is really interesting - from the incredibly lifelike wax figures to the interactive design in the various themed areas. I was particularly impressed by the 4D movie theater, which was really fun not only visually, but also with movement and effects. 🎬💥
The ride through London's past was also a real highlight - like a little journey through time in a classic black cab. 🕰️🚖
The whole thing was not only entertaining, but also educational and realized with great attention to detail.
Conclusion: Highly recommended - for all ages!

It was great to see the different wax statues , I was transported into a different time in history . It was quite a knowledgeable and exciting experience. I really enjoyed looking at the Winston Churchill statue , history has always been a keen interest therefore it was interesting to look at the leaders who shaped our futures. Moreover I think that statue needs to be given more importance it should be placed in a more central place as I believe that it's quite easy to miss! Overall it was an exciting experience and the ticketing process was also very smooth.

On the one hand, I think it's nice that online bookings make admission much better organized, but on the other hand I had to download another app. No option to pay if you are severely disabled. The characters were very good, but sometimes it was very slow. The music in the sections was simply too loud. The organization with the indoor track, the cinema and the possibility to get photos of yourself was also very good.
London’s biggest icons, from Big Ben to Beyoncé's wax statue, the combo has it all.
- Two epic experiences, one brilliant deal! Zip around London for 24/48 hours, then rub shoulders with the world’s biggest stars at Madame Tussauds.
- The hop-on hop-off tour just got better with 50+ stops from Baker Street to Piccadilly Circus. You’ll see so much in so little time that Sherlock Holmes would be impressed.
- Tune in to the onboard audio guide on the double-deckers and ditch the road for the river as a Thames cruise makes London look straight out of a movie.
- London’s got A-list landmarks, but at Madame Tussauds, the stars actually pose for you. Flash a smile, snap a pic, and own the spotlight.
- Meet 150+ lifelike legends, from Benedict Cumberbatch to Kate Winslet, then time-travel 400 years with thrilling 4D movies and immersive rides!

I was particularly impressed by the 4D movie theater, which was really fun not only visually, but also with movement and effects. 🎬💥 The ride through London's past was also a real highlight - like a little journey through time in a classic black cab. 🕰️🚖 The whole thing was not only entertaining, but also educational and realized with great attention to detail. Conclusion: Highly recommended - for all ages!

He had many likenesses of famous people. The roller coaster that takes you to the airport was very special. Also the cinema experience was unique.

Visited around 1:30 PM and was pleasantly surprised—no crazy queues, just a smooth entry into one of the most iconic attractions in the city. The whole experience? Absolutely awesome. From the moment you step inside, it’s like being dropped into a parallel universe where you’re brushing shoulders with the world’s biggest stars—Beyoncé, The Rock, even the Royal Family (yes, they’re very still, but they look like they could blink any second). The attention to detail is mind-blowing. You’ll catch yourself doing double-takes at nearly every turn. One of the highlights? The Marvel 4D experience—like being caught right in the middle of an action movie! And don’t even get me started on the Star Wars zone… It’s every fan’s dream. The flow of the exhibit was surprisingly chill—no overwhelming crowds, just enough people to make it feel exciting without elbowing your way through. Whether you’re into celebrities, history, sports legends, or just want a fantastic photo op, this place delivers on all fronts. ⭐ Verdict: A must-do in London. Way more fun than expected. Leave your skepticism at the door—you’re about to take selfies with legends. ⭐

Very enjoyable experience. Most of the figures are very t true to the person. VERY dissapointed in Princess Diana's statue . She was such a beautifull woman and had such lovely dresses. Her statue does her no justice.

On the one hand, I think it's nice that online bookings make admission much better organized, but on the other hand I had to download another app. No option to pay if you are severely disabled. The characters were very good, but sometimes it was very slow. The music in the sections was simply too loud. The organization with the indoor track, the cinema and the possibility to get photos of yourself was also very good.

It was great to see the different wax statues , I was transported into a different time in history . It was quite a knowledgeable and exciting experience. I really enjoyed looking at the Winston Churchill statue , history has always been a keen interest therefore it was interesting to look at the leaders who shaped our futures. Moreover I think that statue needs to be given more importance it should be placed in a more central place as I believe that it's quite easy to miss! Overall it was an exciting experience and the ticketing process was also very smooth.

It was a lovely experience with my grandaughter. ...although.....
Sadly - as she is only 2 she was not tall enough to pop up in the domes which is dissapointing seeing we had to pay £35 for her entrance fee. and To have to pay for the VR - was extortion again.. I would understand paying for the VR if her ticket was half the price.

Not too busy so didn't have to queue for anything. Knowledgable and informative staff member talking at the shark tank.
Overall it was a great morning - the whole place feels a little tired though and could do with a bit of a face lift but didn't detract from the enjoyment for my children!
Felt quite expensive for what it was - we were there for 2 hours and for a family of 4 it cost £141. Compared to other attractions where you spend much longer I don't think this is as good value for money.

Venue was very busy with lots of pushchairs, babies n young children in confined spaces, it felt a little chlostraphobic. I wasn't impressed with standards/tanks species were kept in, best part was penguins although they looked bored, can't blame them! I thought it was expensive for what it was. Staff were very helpful at reception but didn't see many staff when going through exhibitions, but always there for photo sessions!

The aquarium was a bit disappointing compared to others I have visit, especially at almost £40 per ticket. It seemed to be 100% geared for young children and the information was aimed at that level. The jellyfish display was disappointing and the whole experience to about an hour without rushing. I expected more

Our first attempt to get on the bus at stop 13 was denied 3 times. The driver wouldn't open the door. You were clearly oversold for that time of day yet accepted our order around the same time. A suggestion is to advise anyone placing an order be notified of which stoppa were heavy. Other companies were picking up people at the same spot without issue.

The staff were very helpful and there were no issues with staff. However I choose big bus as the company stated that buses were every 20-30 mins ect. However this was not the case. We were waiting for much longer periods compared to the cheaper companies who appeared to have a better service. I would never book with the company again. Paying the extra was a waste of money. I would not recommend to friends or family

What made our aquarium visit truly special was that we went to celebrate my husband’s birthday — his very first as a new dad! We brought along our 4-month-old baby, and it was such a memorable experience watching our little one be completely mesmerized by the colorful sea life. Seeing his wide eyes follow the fish and other marine creatures made the visit magical and meaningful for all of us. It was a beautiful way to mark a special milestone as a new family.

The staff were helpful, friendly and informative. The environment itself was spotlessly clean. The information on the wildlife was easy to locate and was easy to understand. It was the second time I had been to the Aquarium in a year and everything was exactly the same, consistency is the key to success here I believe. Not all of the creatures were exhibited but that is only to be expected if there are particular issues concerning that species. Lovely experience. Great day out.

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.
