Description
Hop-On Hop-Off London
Ding! Ding! All aboard! Hop on one of our famous red buses and let your London adventure begin! With a choice of 24, 48 or 72-hour tickets, you can choose your own London experience, and we guarantee that even with a 48-hour ticket, you won’t run out of amazing things to see.
Hop off at famous landmarks, including the Tower of London, home to the Crown Jewels; take a stroll through Hyde Park, the largest and grandest of the Royal parks; or stop off at St Paul’s Cathedral and marvel at the Christopher Wren-designed dome that has dominated the city’s skyline for more than 300 years.
You’ll get to ride over the world-famous Tower Bridge, and, a little tip from us, you’ll be able to see it in all its glory as you pass over the equally famous London Bridge. Just make sure you’re looking the right way!
But that’s the thing in London: whichever way you look, you’ll see something amazing. Wow! Is that Big Ben? The London Eye! Marble Arch! We know it’s been said a million times about a million places, but in London there really is so much to see, and there’s no better vantage point than from the top of one of our red double-deckers.
On our Blue Route, kids get their own commentary and a free “London Quest” booklet! Your mini detectives will join Mia Cloo to explore London, taking part in quizzes, solving puzzles and completing the quest as they learn all about London!
River Cruise
Seeing the city from the river is pretty special too, so we’ve included a free cruise along the Thames. Pass under some of the city’s most famous bridges as you travel along the river that is almost certainly the most important of all the city’s famous “streets”.
Night Tour
And if you choose our 72-hour option, we’ll even throw in a night tour! Experience London after dark from the safety and comfort of our bus. As you travel all over the capital, from Kensington to the Tower of London, our fun and friendly English-speaking guide will regale you with tales of London.
