The Original London Sightseeing Tour

I took a trip to London yesterday with family to see a theatre show. As it was a coach trip we arrived in London early afternoon with the performance not due to start until 8:30pm so we have a few hours to kill before the start of the show so decided to take a trip on the famous London Sightseeing Tour. The tours are not cheap but are well worth it in my opinion as you get to see so many great British landmarks all in the space of an hour and without the hassle of trying to get yourself around in your own transport without getting lost and having to tackle the London congestion. You can pick the tour up from pretty much any bus stop in the main ...  Read the complete review

Last year i went to london and went on the The Original London Sightseeing Tour. It was a great way to see the capital city from an open top bus.

I personaly would recomend you walk to ...  Read the complete review

Sue (my partner) and I chose The Original Tour as we were planning a hectic few days in London and with everything else going on wanted to keep costs down - this we achieved by using up a lot of my old Tesco clubcard vouchers, and for this we only actually paid £8 which in view of what we got for our money was absolutely ...  Read the complete review

In September I am going to be moving away from London and a couple of months ago I realised that although I've been living in London for a year and a half I haven't seen much of London. My first step to fix this problem was to take a bus tour around London. I love to learn about history so the tour seemed like the perfect day out. -Buying the Tickets- We bought the tickets at Visitors Centre in Trafalgar Square. We did have some difficulty finding the visitors centre, but this is my own fault entirely as I didn't bother to look for directions, I just turned up in Trafalgar Square and hoped that I would be able to see it! Fortunately the building is very ...  Read the complete review
