Buses generally depart every 10–20 minutes, though this varies by route and operator. Most services start around 8:30am and conclude by 6pm, with the exception of specific non-stop evening tours.
Guide dogs and hearing dogs are welcomed by all major operators. Small, well-behaved pets are typically allowed at the driver's discretion, provided they are kept in a carrier or on a lead.
Children under 4 usually travel for free if they sit on an adult's lap. Children aged 5–15 require a child ticket, which is offered at a discounted rate compared to adult fares.
Tours operate in all weather conditions, and London is no stranger to rain! Most buses feature a covered front section on the top deck or a full lower deck to keep you dry.
Operators do not offer private hotel pick-ups. However, with over 50 stops across the city, you are likely to find a designated stop within a short walking distance of most central London hotels.
You can board the bus at any designated stop along the route. Simply show your mobile or printed voucher to the staff at your chosen stop to begin your adventure.
Restrooms are not available on board the buses. We recommend using the facilities at major attractions or public transport hubs located near the main stops during your journey.
Eating is generally discouraged to keep the buses clean, but drinks in spill-proof containers or bottles with lids are permitted. It is the perfect way to stay hydrated while sightseeing!
There is no need to worry! Simply wait at the designated stop for the next bus to arrive. You can use the operator's mobile app to track the next bus in real-time.
