Description
Ding! Ding! All aboard! Hop on one of our famous red buses and let your London adventure begin! With a choice of 24 or 48-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 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 our red double-deckers.
And seeing the city from the river is pretty special too, so we’ve included a free cruise along the Thames between Westminster Pier and Tower Pier. 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”.
We’ve partnered with Vidi Guides to offer you their fantastic selection of five immersive audio tours in English with the 48-hour ticket and the Royal London tour with our 24-hour ticket to make those London streets and their stories come to life. Vidi Guides are self-guided audio tours in English that are directly downloadable to your smartphone. You can now discover London’s most iconic sights and neighbourhoods on foot, at your own pace and convenience. You can access the tours at any point during your trip to London, before or after you hop on a City Sightseeing bus.
Each audio walk is a conversation between two people, experts and enthusiasts both. As you listen, you’ll be part of that conversation and part of the story. Check the map for where to hop off to do the tour (or tours) you want and start exploring.
