London Hop-On Hop-Off Big Bus Tour

This London sightseeing bus tour with walking tour and river cruise is a convenient and flexible way to see the city, especially if you're visiting for the first time or are short on time. You can use the bus as your mode of transport between attractions, or simply sit back and do a full tour while listening to recorded commentary and enjoying the views from the upper deck. On board, you'll find audio commentary in several languages, so you won't miss any of the history, curiosities and anecdotes of each area.

There are four options so you can choose the one that best suits your plan. The Night Tour ticket is a non-stop panoramic tour at dusk or at night, ideal for seeing the city illuminated for around 2 hours. The Discover 24-hour ticket includes the hop-on hop-off bus for one day and a river cruise. The Essential 48-hour ticket extends the validity to two days and also includes walking tours. Finally, the Explore 48-hour ticket adds a panoramic night tour to all of the above, so you can enjoy London by day and by night.

All in all, this product gives you the freedom to design your own itinerary: you can spend a day exploring the city by bus and cruise, or use the 48 hours to combine bus tours, walking tours and night-time sightseeing, with the convenience of having it all in one ticket.
