Fabulous way to see a city.

Connie_C, May 2024

Beautiful way to see the city! The signing up on Viator picks the bus line you are on. I didn’t get the one I wanted….that was in the photo. But there are over 8 bus line to choose from. They all go to basically the same places. We had fun & accomplished our purpose. I also will go on hop on hop off in Dublin, Belfast & Edinburgh🚐🚍🚌

Poor value.

Denise_L, Apr 2024

Very long wait times for bus in the morning (45 minutes at two separate stops). Audio guide is terrible (would not sync to location of bus, so we had no idea what sights we were seeing). Poor value.

Some very good and some okay

Mark_B, Apr 2024

The Hop on Hop Off bus was fine. The narration was lacking. There are many things along the route that you do need to get off to see. The workers were very helpful at each stop. The River Cruise portion was very good. There was live narration which was very good

Better take the big brown buses

Stefan_S, Mar 2024

We had to wait 30 minutes for a bus to arrive (at green park daytime). Lots of buses from other companies went by. Bus not heated, audio hard to hear through the provided headphones.

Rip off

Angela_W, Mar 2024

very disappointed. stood were badly marked and audio very poor. For what we paid for the tickets - did not feel it was worth it

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Disappointed but satisfied!

Carol_M, Mar 2024

I can’t really review the actual ride as we didn’t take it. Apparently we weren’t informed when we booked that the roads would all be closed for St Patrick’s Day. I can however review the company and say they were very helpful and refunded our payment immediately.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for taking the time to send a review, we are sorry that you were unable to take the Tour and we hope to welcome you on board in the future! Tootbus London Team.

Good for Seniors

Elizabeth_K, Mar 2024

The ferry was loads of fun! This is great for people with mobility issues. Less walking around London but you can still see everything.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thanks so much for your lovely review; it really is great to hear about your experience of our tour. Hope we can welcome you back onto our buses one day! Tootbus London Team

Unbeatable customer service

Sarah_H, Mar 2024

Are these people serious?!? Of the dozen people working for the bus company yesterday, every single one was kind and patient and cheerful. After a flight from Houston where we got no sleep, we toured around on the bus all day transferring between routes until we could go to our hotel. It could have been a really hard day, but the staff actually walked us to our connecting points making sure my elderly mother didn’t get lost and not going too fast. Fantastic way to see and get around London. So many stops. Will be my go-to next to time I’m in London. The only thing I would recommend is that they look into the app—I had a few glitches in the audiotour. But it really was minor. Overall the audio was awesome and actually gave us a lot of great ideas that we didn’t find by Googling.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for the lovely review we really appreciate all feedback as a way to continue to improve our service, our apologies for the issues you had with our app which we will look into thank you for bringing to our attention! We look forward to welcoming you on board in the future! Tootbus London Team!

Terrible Bus Trip

RAJIV_H, Feb 2024

Took us about an hour to find the bus stop. Spoke to various representatives and no one knew where the pickup point was in Westminster. When we finally got on the bus I tried at least 12 seats to find one where the commentary worked and then I wished I didn't. The commentary was not informative at all and had discussions on being invited to dinner rather than anything on Fleet Street. Worst experience - would not recommend.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

We are disappointed to learn about the poor experience you had. We are committed to resolving any issues our customers have on our bus tours and would invite you to contact us at: customerservice-london@tootbus.com Best wishes from us all Tootbus London Team

Tootbus Of London

Tamera_F, Jan 2024

Had the most amazing time with the Tootbus!!!! Great service and enjoyed the stories of London with great commentary through the headphones. Would recommend using the Tootbus app to locate the bus routes as well as where the bus is located.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thank you very much for such a great review! We work really hard to offer the best customer service so I am happy to see that reflected and that you found the app useful. We hope to see you again soon! Best wishes from us all the Tootbus team

Good for a rough view of London.

Althea_J, Jan 2024

One of the most unprofessional tours. Though there was an audio portion, often, it didn’t correspond to our location, so it was hard to follow along. Twice, our driver turned off the bus and left for about 10 minutes without telling any passengers what was going on. This is fine for viewing London but not as informative as other hop on hop off bus tours.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

We are sorry to hear that your experience with us was not satisfying. We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us. Your feedback being important to us, we will work on these points in the future to improve and provide an unforgettable experience with Tootbus. We wish you a nice day. Tootbus team"

Good ride

Xavier_O, Nov 2023

One of the better tour bus I ever taken.. the staffs are friendly and helpful.. The route was good especially the yellow route it brings you to the most important places in london

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thank you for your positive review, we are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us and hope to welcome you on board again! Tootbus Team

Got to see London.

Jon_M, Oct 2023

The trip was fun. We had the 48 hr and saw many sights on all 3 routes. Due to traffic, we didn’t hop off much. Would do it again.

I do not recommend!

Kathryn_P, Oct 2023

The lack of customer care is deplorable! Tried to contact the your operator through Viator app to find out where the stops were so I could “hop on”….no response se whatsoever. Went through several rabbit trails to finally discover I need the Tootbus app for that information. There was no information given on any of the buses about the sights or the stops. Completely missed Westminster Abby as that stop was announced as Big Ben. The last bus I hopped on was surly and you could tell she hated her job. There are several more bus services that provide this same experience—book one of those instead.

Not a good experience

Kelsey_L, Sep 2023

The bus was very confusing. We got on for 20 mins and we’re stuck in horrible traffic that didn’t even move so we got off. It’s very slow. We tried finding a bus again multiple times, even downloaded the app and couldn’t find it anywhere. We paid over $120 and didn’t use this at all. Very disappointing.

Good way to see everything, then decide what are the things you want to see the most.

Dan_P, Sep 2023

Good way to see the sights and get to places. The schedule was good for the amount of traffic there is in London.

London by bus

John_M, Sep 2023

Buses were plentiful and a lot of stops had customer service people available. Traffic caused delays often.
