The Classic Tour

If you want to do sight seeing tours big bus tours is the one you will enjoy the ride and the location maps are pretty clear even a lamen can understand easily and you have audio tours and the guides are really polite and helpful all the timeOnly suggestion is the evening your bus if you get bored or tired you are not allowed to get down anywhere and sit in the bus for 2-3 hoursAvoid if possible if you hate to sit continously for 3 hours and please do utilise walking tours which is for 1.5 to 2 hours where you enjoy every bit of it

I definitely picked the right day to go! Loved it. Guide was great, energetic and eloquent. Recommend.

Just look the Driver. Hes absolutely madness Try to punch my face he come out of Bus.

We did the evening Christmas lights tour and it was great fun. Excellent commentary and it was just so christmassy. Took about an hour. I'd recommend.

We were disappointed after reading good reviews. The staff are unfriendly and the route is uninspired. Be aware that during the week, it doesn’t include Buckingham Palace. The guide tried to quell our disappointment by announcing that even at weekends, it just goes by the side of the palace, so we didn’t miss much. Why advertise it as a feature then?!The guide was not entertaining from our perspective but only cynical to all modern architecture and progress. He was only positive towards old buildings and his self confessed obsession with militaria.We got a much better impression from walking around with Google Maps as a less jaded guide.Those old bus seats are uncomfortable too! Our tour was shorter than the advertised timing but we were nothing but relieved to get off early.Avoid!

I enjoyed it a lot. We saw everything we needed to see in London during our short stay.

Good luck with this company. You’ll need it. When we arrived at our tour meeting point, a 10k foot race had shut down all surrounding streets and prevented the bus from getting through. As tourists we of course were not aware of the change (should not the tour company have known? these things are planned months if not years in advance...). Someone from the company met us and walked us over the Golden Jubilee bridge, which took about 15 minutes in 85 degree heat. Fine. We then departed only to meet road construction project after road construction project (again, as driving around town is your business, is this not something the company should have been aware of and alerted customers?). We literally did not see a single site on the itinerary and stood in bumper to bumper traffic inhaling exhaust for 45 minutes in the summer heat. The driver and guide did their best to maneuver the traffic, but we finally decided to hop off near the Tate Modern in order to salvage some part of our day. The experience was truly disappointing, a waste of money, and a terrible use of our limited time in London. When I emailed the manager, Barnaby Harrison, to request a refund, he refused, saying “we cannot refund on this occasion.” I’m curious on what occasions he does make refunds as this occasion certainly seems worthy by even the lowest of standards. Poor customer service. Poor planning. Poor execution and poor response. Buyer beware.

For the price it was good, lovely proper old London Bus the tour would be a lot better if they drove past Buckingham Palace but guess it would cost more.

Booked this last minute with some friends and so glad I did!! The tour was very fun and informative and definitely the best way to see London. Our guide was great managing to make boring facts interesting and funny. Will recommend to everyone I know!!!

The tour bus with the most character in London.We booked this tour bus in October 2023. It was great. We had a fantastic experience with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She was funny and witty keeping you laughing along the way.The iconic classic open red London bus sure impressed my Australian partner. It gave her a true sense of the London landmarks in a bus that everyone knows London for.Would definitely recommend.
