Traveler reviews
Great way to see all the Sights
This is a great way to see all the sights in London. Buses run about four times an hour. You have three different lines to choose from and can mix and match if you like. All bus stops and sights have a representative in a red vest to help in any way you can. Buses have complimentary headphones to plug in for commentary along the way. We opted for a ride on the London Eye. That had incredible views and was very relaxing. We also opted for a one way river cruise from one end of the sights to the other. We did it at the end so where we got off was closest to our hotel. We would definitely do this experience of London again! Worth every penny.

Poor compared to others tours
This particular hop-on hop-off was very poor compared to others I have been on in the past. The 6pm time of the last bus felt super early. It was before dinner and way before sunset. We missed the last bus by 5 minutes and ended up having to take the subway back to the train station. The stops are also very poorly labeled on the street and were difficult to find. There was also no announcement by the driver or the audio tape to get off for major landmarks such so it was major guess work comparing their poor map to Google Maps. Positives: we got onto the London eye and river cruise in 15 minutes. The bus was a great way to see all of London in 1 day (which unfortunately was all we had time for on this trip which is why we opted for the bus tour). I would still recommend a bus tour if you want to see all of London in 1 day. It will just take a lot of pre-planning before hand.
I was not happy
I had trouble finding the pick up spots and even then the buses didn't come within 20 minutes. I sat at one spot for well over an hour and never saw one bus from this company but numerous buses from other companies. I finally was able to get on the bus and was going to ride it all the way around and I understood the driver to tell me that I would be back at my original stop at the end of it, but that did not turn out to be true and every bus driver that told me which bus would get me back gave me misinformation. I had to miss my booking for the eye on the first day because I never could find a bus to get me there on time. Luckily they did honor my ticket the next day. But I ended up using other options to the hop on hop off bus after that first day. Very disappointing experience.

Excellent tour, good script and good service to all attenents and providers. Amazing experience.
