Long delay with buses late afternoon at Tower of London stop.

This is the best deal in town for the price! I got 48 hr pass & we road around several times, making a few stops to better see different sites & of course get a pint & fish & chips! Buses ran so frequently, never had a wait even though this was during VE Day celebrations & very busy on Saturday in particular. We also loved that folks were out on the street to answer questions & give you a hand in heading the right way! And always with a smile! Only one negative is that we found map difficult to follow & bus stops should have stop numbers on them…thank goodness, as I said, we always eventually found guidance but a couple times we started to get frustrated. Thank you! We loved our London visit, too short with 3 days total though!

Great way to get around London & see all the major sites. The live bus tracking on the Big Bus app is very helpful. There are BB representatives at all the stops and they’re happy to help point you in the right direction. The commentary is very good as well & keeps you informed right the way around all 3 bus lines.
