Big Bus Evening Bus Tour

The tour commentary is pre-recorded and not very good. Could have been more informative and would be better provided by someone in person. Easy to catch the tour and get of at a stop or your choice. You get to see all the most important sights in London

Unpleasant

It is cold. Branches to branches are low , stay undercover, a rough group of people used this - driver ad used offers dive lanquage and alcohol taken on board. The driver stated always the same… he offered to let us off with him another Country we felt he should’ve let the offensive people go off - this was an unpleasant experience. I don’t recommend it.

Great way to see London

The trip was great, but what made it special was the people driving the buses and the ticket people. Nothing but helpful, put themselves out for us answering our questions and helping locate the tickets on our phone, lol. Very patient, I think his name was Anthony x The audio commentary was good, but a little delayed so we were in line with or had passed the sight spoken about. Other than that, a fantastic way to see London.

A very good experience in London on the 11th Feb 2026

I want to take this opportunity to thank your driver James for a very good experience while travelling. He was kind engaging and a credit to your company. I enjoyed the experience and how he helped us with useful information.
