Not the advertised route and finished early.

did the London by night bus tour, having done this before. It did not follow the advertised route. We did not cross a bridge, and we did not see The London Eye and the Shard, also other attractions like St Paul's Cathedral. We did the same loop down Whitehall twice. We were stationary at bus stops for 10 minutes at a time, and the tour ended 10 minutes early. I rang Tootbus and complained and Anna gave me free hop on hop off tickets and a river cruise for the following day which was good. I feel sorry though for the American family who were leaving London the following day, they lost out. Poor experience.

Disappointed. Bus frequency is low. Waiting up to half an hour at the stop

You wait too long. More than half an hour at a stop watching more than three competing buses pass by. The bus is not reflected in real time. In the app it said it was coming in 8 minutes and it happened in half an hour. The equipment damaged. Broken headphone inputs . In one part of the route of the blue line we were lowered and changed buses because that one was no longer going (In Buckingham Palace). Good recordings. Lively. Very friendly staff. But few buses and tomorrow frequency. Next time I'm going to City Bus, which happened a lot.

Great Nightime Tour

It was perfect! Did this with my husband in November and it was great! Viewing the sites at night is a truly different but amazing experience. The bus left promptly on time and was able 1.5hrs. Listened to the commentary and learnt a lot about the British culture. Would definitely recommend! If doing this tour during the cold season be sure to have a hat and scarf if sitting on the top level. It does get a little chilly.
