Great Way to See a Lot of London - This was a great way to see a lot of spots. Being at the top of the bus is a must. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and London at night is so pretty.

Very Nice Tour - London looks totally different after dark when the various buildings and attractions are lit up. The tour did a wonderful job of taking you through many of London landmarks to get a new perspective.
One tip - if it’s a cool evening bring a jacket or a warm sweater. You’re moving 20-30 mph in an open top bus, it gets pretty chilly!

Must see London at night - Great photo opportunities. Big Ben is beautiful by night. Loved going across London Bridge. Our tour guide perfectly balanced information with some funny commentary.

London by dusk - I appreciated the various London areas pointed out. I noted street names and Underground stops of interest. The in person guide makes a difference also. I took the tour before at dusk and felt it was a good idea.

Perfect First Activity on our trip to London - This was our first activity after landing in London. Perfect overview to get a "feel" for the city and get to know the landscape. Also made us realize things we had to put on our "must" list. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly

Ok, probably better in the daytime - It was ok. I thought London would be a more lit up at night, but it wasn't. It was a little hard to see the sights clearly at times. Guides were wonderful though! Tower bridge was the best part- great views along the river.

Only if you can do upper level - I would have given two stars but they offered to let us switch to the next tour because there wasn't room for us up top. We declined because we didn't think it would matter much if we did the tour from the lower level. It did matter. A LOT. I would definitely recommend that anyone who wants to take this tour ensure that they're able to make it there early enough to be among the first in line so they can sit on the upper level. Because the tour guide is up there, keeps referring to things that can only be seen from there ("look up", "take a selfie with it behind you", etc). He also apparently made jokes/had interactions with the people up there -- which made no sense to those of us on the lower part. We saw so little from down there - saw far more stuff on the #11 bus upper and that bus only cost £1.75. I was very disappointed.

Boring, cold and didn’t learn much new - It was hard to hear the lady speak and she didn’t seem to know a lot of facts. We passed by some major sites and I knew about them from other tours but she didn’t even acknowledge it. Also, the tour was the same tours offered by other tour groups and it was hardly dark enough unable to get the night effect. Id recommend going at 9pm at the earliest if you want to actually see London at night. I would not recommend.
