🇬🇧 London Big Bus Tour Review | Is It Worth It? 🚌✨
I’d seen mixed reviews online but decided to try the Big Bus Tour myself—because who can resist a double-decker open-top ride? Booked a 24-hour ticket (with free Thames River cruise!) on Tripadvisor for a sweet deal. 🔄 My Experience: 🎫 Easy Start: Swapped vouchers near Victoria Station (friendly staff!). 📱 Pro Tip: Download their app for real-time bus tracking—lifesaver! 🌆 View: Front-row upper deck = EPIC vistas (though the Chinese audio guide lagged sometimes 😅). ⏳ Flexibility: Hopped on/off at London Eye, Big Ben etc. (Wait times: ~20 mins at peak hours—avoid lunchtime!). 🚢 Bonus Surprise: The included river cruise (from Tower Pier) was the highlight! Live guide > recorded commentary, and Tower Bridge photos from the water = Insta gold. ⚠️ Must-Know Tips: 🧥 Bring a jacket—it’s windy up top! ⏰ Early bird perk: Arrive early for best seats. 🛳️ Cruise first: Limited sailings—do it before noon. 🎧 3.5mm headphone jack (adapter needed for newer phones). 💡 Verdict: Great for first-timers wanting to cover landmarks fast! 💰 Book online (cheaper than on-site). #LondonTravel #UKBucketList #BigBusTour #ThamesCruise #TravelHacks
