Joined the bus with my family at Baker Street and didn't have to wait long to start the excursion. Earphones were supplied to enjoy the commentary(in several languages).The tour was informative and interesting,covering all the really famous landmarks. We stopped off at the river Thames to enjoy a free river cruise.Because buses were so frquent we were able to rejoin the bus tour.The hop on/off feature means that you can explore the landmark at your leisure.The tour is child friendly supplying fun packs for young travellers. The ticket lasts for 24 hours, as there are four different tour routes you could try them all.I was able to book the tickets on line be fore ...  Read the complete review

My brother immigrated two years ago to New Zealand. So before he went we thought we would all go round London and see the sights. To see everything we thought the best way would be to get the train to tower hill and then get on a bus tour… What a mistake. The trains ran perfectly and soon we arrived at Tower Hill. We went to the bus stations and wondered what bus to take, we choose London Pride. We got on our traditional red bus and decided to sit on the top so we would have the best view. When the bus left we had a lovely guide telling us all the history of the buildings we were passing. At every sight you could get on or off so it would be nice ...  Read the complete review
