Overall, the bus is a good way to enjoy an orientation of the city sites. However, it’s not that practical to visit the site due to the time it takes to get around the city and see them. We got a two day pass to orientate ourselves and used the second day to visit sites via the bus and Metro. It was very crowded on the weekend but enjoyable and roomy mid week. I would definitely recommend it to orientate yourself for a first time visit to London.

Excellent way to get the full view of London. Interesting and fun commentary throughout the ride and being able to hop on and off at your convenience makes this a great way to cover slot of territory. We bundled it w the Thames cruise which was fantastic. Highly recommend

Hop On/Off is a great way for a intro to a new city or recap on last day. Normally seamless however today we were directed to wrong line which took us back on the route we just came from. Should have been Red to Blue but when ask which line to go on we were just put back on another red costing us an hour overlapping. Otherwise always use in new cities.
