hop on hop off london - bus tours

Want to see the best of a city? Visit the top attractions at your own pace without having to follow a set route with a group tour? Or maybe it’s a new city you’re exploring and aren’t sure what is best to see? Then a hop-on hop-off bus tour is what you need. Over a designated route, you’ll get to see (London’s) top attractions. See somewhere you just got to explore? A famous attraction, a top shopping street or district? Then this bus tour allows you to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. You can do this as many times as you like within your ticket limit? And a final top tip; why not make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, so you can get familiar with the city and pick out your favourites places to visit and then return to them during your stay.

You can start your tour at any of the designated bus stops. Look for your nearest stop to your hotel, and make sure to check out the route. There may be more than one route on offer, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead of arrival as there may be specific attractions you want to see. Check the tour website for details of the routes, attractions, bus stops and any changes. Also, whether your ticket covers all routes. Almost all will, but it’s worth verifying the routes before you arrive. See, a little preparation can go a long way.
