Delightful ride. The hop-on, hop-off obviously made it easy to see what you wanted, and be delivered to your desired stopping point, and the audio tour (just a plug-in voice recording) was just the right amount of pleasant without getting to the lecture-y point of boring the kids.

We did a hop on hop off bus for all three cities we visited. The information we learned was fascinating and gave us a great overview of the city and helped us determine where we wanted to go later in our trip. Be sure to pick up the headphone when you board to listen to the prerecorded tour.

The first driver neglected to stop at a stop where we wanted to get off. He also didn’t give us earbuds. The next driver got us the earbuds and did a great job. Later, a different driver let us know that they would be making a detour and not stopping at a few stops. The stop near Buckingham Palace was difficult to locate. The boat tour was great and the guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it was a good experience that visited many sights we wanted to see.
