About this experience
Explore the capital’s most famous sights aboard an open‑top double‑deck bus that lets you hop on and off at your leisure. Choose a one‑day or multi‑day pass and add a scenic Thames cruise for an extra perspective of London’s skyline.
What to Expect
Board an open‑top double‑deck bus that circles the city on well‑marked routes covering the West End, historic core and riverside attractions. Professional guides provide live commentary (often available in several languages) while you watch landmarks drift by. You can hop off at any designated stop, explore at your own pace, then catch a later bus to continue. Passes also let you add an optional Thames river cruise for a different perspective of the skyline.
Who It's For
Ideal for first‑time visitors who want a broad overview without juggling multiple tickets, as well as families and groups looking for a flexible itinerary. It also suits travelers with limited time who can maximise sightseeing by hopping on and off across several days.
Good to Know
Dress comfortably and bring layers, as the top deck is exposed to wind and rain even in summer. Keep an eye on the bus schedule—services usually run at regular intervals throughout the day, but traffic can affect exact arrival times. Most buses are wheelchair‑accessible and offer space for strollers or luggage, though it’s wise to check accessibility details before boarding.
Approx. duration: 1 - 3 days

“The bus tour is fantastic, we hopped on and off throughout the day and experienced loads of attractions. We paid for the cruise but didn’t bother with it as the queue was two hours long in extreme heat, which was quite disappointing. However would urge anyone to book the bus, also the staff were great and really helpful.”

“It was amazing, especially after an early morning arrival, and late start for exploring London.”
— Ronnie
“Had a great time but our time was limited as travelling home that night. But we did manage to do the one way cruise up the Thames, loved it and the crew did a great job of pointing out areas of interest..”
— lorraine
“I only allocated a few hours for this, if I did it again I would definitely make it a full day activity. Loved the views of the city streets from the upper deck, I got some great photos even without leaving the bus. Definitely recommend.”
— Jessica
“loved the bus routes and the river cruise. well worth it”
— Julie
“This was the best way to see London! If you're only in London for 24 or 48 hours and wants to see everything! This is what you should do!”
— Ebony
