We experienced difficulties and communication issues from the start when I booked the 3 days pass and a special tour online with them. We were given two different meeting points for the tour. The company the tour was with was helpful but city sightseeing was useless responding. We had trouble getting the boat at the end of our tour (I guess we should have just skipped it) when there was a 90min delay and we ended up getting an uber to get us to our theatre that night because we couldn’t wait for the busses. We were given no communication that several stops which happened to be closer to our hotel were closed for Saturday. I struggle with mobility and we were left to walk instead. We discovered the several other options for HOHO in town offered more stops closer together and had more buses running and better options. Lesson learned. The worst part was on our last day (yesterday) we had pressed the button to get off at the next stop. The driver turned the bus around before getting to the Piccadilly spot (the road was closed expectedly) and went all the way back to Big Ben and the start of the route and decommissioned the bus leaving us stranded. When I complained (there were other customers left stranded as well ) the driver said the driver was insulting and said it was unexpected and we should realize that. The driver should have made an announcement and gave us the option to get off close to our stop!!! When I said we had customer service issues with this customer for the past few days she laughed at me and said well why did you keep getting on?? At that point I lost my cool and I’m not proud of what I said to her but I stand behind what I said. It was accurate. Meanwhile she just kept laughing and taunting. Spend your money on Tootbus or one of the other 2 companies. We will be cancelling our tickets with this company for our other stops in other cities on our...
Read moreI had the pleasure of experiencing Marcos' exceptional customer service during my recent Hop-On and Off bus tour. From the moment I stepped onto the bus, Marcos greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm that set the tone for the entire journey.
Throughout the tour, Marcos went above and beyond to ensure that every passenger felt welcome and comfortable. His knowledge about the city's landmarks and attractions was impressive, and he eagerly shared interesting tidbits and historical facts that enriched the experience.
What truly stood out, however, was Marcos' unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction. Whether it was assisting elderly passengers with boarding, providing recommendations for local eateries, or simply engaging in friendly conversation, Marcos consistently went the extra mile to make everyone feel valued and appreciated.
His professionalism, positivity, and genuine passion for hospitality are a testament to his outstanding service ethic. Marcos is undoubtedly an invaluable asset to the Hop-On and Off bus team, and I wholeheartedly recommend his tours to anyone looking for an unforgettable and enriching city experience.
Thank you, Marcos, for going above and beyond to make my Hop-On and Off bus tour truly outstanding!

Read moreIf you’re visiting London for the first time or just want a relaxed way to see the city’s iconic landmarks, City View Sightseeing is a fantastic choice. The open-top double-decker buses offer a panoramic view of London’s most famous attractions including Big Ben, the Tower of London, London Eye, Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace.
What sets this tour apart is the flexibility. With hop-on, hop-off access, you can explore each stop at your own pace. The buses run frequently and cover all the key areas of central London. The audio guide (available in multiple languages) provides interesting facts, stories, and historical context, making the ride both educational and entertaining.
The staff were courteous and helpful, and the buses were clean and well-maintained. On a sunny day, riding on the top deck is a real treat – perfect for photos and soaking in the city atmosphere.
Ticket prices are reasonable and often include extras like a Thames river cruise or walking tours. It’s a great option for families, solo travelers, or anyone who wants to see a lot in a short amount of time.
Overall, City View Sightseeing is a convenient, comfortable, and informative way to experience the heart of London. Highly recommended for tourists looking to make the most...
