Discover London with City Sightseeing©. Book online tickets for our Hop-On Hop-Off bus tours, activities, attractions, cruises and make the most of your trip.
London doesn’t really need an introduction, does it? It’s obviously one of the most important cities in the world, but we’ll let you into a little secret. Even the locals discover something new about this incredible city every day, so if you’ve been here before or not, join us on the road or river for the perfect introduction to the city. And don’t worry if you’ve been here before, we’re sure you’ll still see something new. Hop off where you choose and get ready to explore. To make your stay even more complete, book one of the fantastic London attractions we offer.
We don’t need to tell you that London has an incredible amount to see and do. It’s hard to choose just three places to go, and if you asked us again tomorrow, we might suggest a different three, but today, our tips are these three. Trafalgar Square is one of the city’s most emblematic places, it’s a thoroughfare, a monument, an open-air art gallery and the perfect place to watch the world go by. The square is dominated by Nelson’s Column, a memorial to one of the country’s greatest naval heroes. London Bridge is another must-visit destination. The modern bridge is only 50 years old, but there’s been a bridge in this spot since the Romans were in town. It has some of the best views around, too. If there’s one sight that symbolises the city, we suppose it has to be Big Ben, which is as impressive whether seen from up close or from the deck of a boat on the river.
Did you know that the actual City of London is one of the smallest cities in the UK? It has an area of just over one square mile and a resident population of around 9,000 people. The name ‘London’ is now widely used to refer to the administrative district of Greater London, which is technically not a city, but is home to around 8.5 million residents. Another fact to impress (or bore) your travel companions is that Big Ben is actually the name of the bell located on the tower, which is actually in the City of Westminster – the tower itself is called ‘The Clock Tower’. Visit Philpot Lane to see London’s smallest public statue. The statue depicts two mice eating cheese and is dedicated to two builders who fell during the construction of The Monument after a fight over a missing sandwich… it turns out a mouse infestation was to blame for the missing sandwich.

Negative experience: Alberto was awesome with good explanation and suggestions ! That said we waited over 40+ mins per stop for this companies bus. Traffic was bad but all of the other companies buses came to the stops every 15 mins. At one stop we were told to WALK to the next stop to catch a bus. Was not impressed
Negative experience: Худший тур, почти ничего не рассказывается.. зеленый круг проехали-слушали только музыку.. неужели Лондон это город о котором нечего рассказать?? Ощущение что проехал на обычном автобусе а не на экскурсионном.. только обычный 1,75 стоит , а этот 50 в других городах рассказывали 50% времени, здесь 1%.. НЕ БЕРИТЕ ЭТОТ ТУР!! во всяком случае эту автобусную компанию точно

He then told us he would do something for the kids when we got off if he had the time. We alighted the bus at Marble Arch and he let my two nieces and nephew have a turn at sitting in the drivers seat of the bus. It was so lovely and the kids loved it. Thank you John!

Lots of lovely details can be seen from the top of the bus, staff were really helpful and the commentary was very interesting. Busses very frequent and clean! Thank you City Sightseeing - your getting it right!!
Fantastic experience: Valentino is a perfect men. Great Service
Fantastic experience: Tour was amazing. Best part of London. Diego was super helpful and perfect end to aging day
Fantastic experience: Diego was very helpful and professional. He gave us great advices around the green route and red route ❤️
Fantastic experience: The open top bus tour was fantastic, it takes you up close to all the major sights you could want to see with the convenience of many hop-on hop-off stops throughout the city. Im a wheelchair user and the buses all have automated ramps and decent space for your chair on the bus. The drivers were all friendly and helpful. Its a good alternative to using the underground or taxis. The price may seem steep but after my day trip i thought it was really good value for money considering how much of the city we saw. It would've cost in at least double if not more to use taxis and would've been less convenient. I would advise paying the extra and getting the 48hr ticket so you can make the most of the service, we only did the full 'red route' (the main tourist sites) and a bit of the 'green route' but didnt have time in 1 day to do the full 'green' or 'blue route'. Overall a great tour, it was a highlight of our trip to London and would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Hola maravillosa experiencia. Es una excelente forma de conocer la ciudad de forma rápida. Diego nos brindó toda la información y nos ayudó a aprovechar al máximo nuestro tiempo.

Fantastic experience: Thx to Khalifa we reached our destination in time... all the people we encountered today were some of the friendliest and most polite humans I have ever met. Also special thanks to Mabs, who lended his powerbank to a complete stranger! Give them a raise please or at least an employee of the year award. They deserve that and more ...
Fantastic experience: Tonight I did the live guided tour with Vikki as the guide and Soyful as the driver. It was a great tour and I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. Vikki has a lot of knowledge and Soyful provided a really nice and comfortable ride. I would definitely recommend this tour and I really enjoyed it!
Negative experience: Long wait times. Closed stops that still appear on the map. Big Bus and other companies seem to have more buses on their fleet. The traffic in London is brutal. So unless you like sitting and waiting on the bus, it’s much better to walk if you are able. I would not recommend this service.
Fantastic experience: Raúl from City Sightseeing was from Buckingham Palace Stop was great, very helpful, friendly and helpful. Excellent service for such an important place. Thank you Raul.
Fantastic experience: Paul was of great assistance returning a lost phone. Being from Australia it was important for its return. Very very happy with his assistance.
Negative experience: Choose one of the other companies! We waited over an hour for the first bus on the blue route. Then, after two stops, we were told it was going out of service. We waited another 30 minutes for another bus. Same thing happened the next day. Other companies averaged 4-5 busses per 1 from this company. We weren't the only ones with the long waits. Never again.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic Service for the city sightseeing London tour buses. However, very very disappointed that the bus rides finish at 5 o’clock making our day out cut shorts. Quite disappointed as this was not very clear or obvious at all when booking the tickets.
Fantastic experience: Hi again. Yesterday I posted my feed back and I forgot to press the stars. I will give you this five plus 5 more!!! Thank you so much !! Everything was amazing.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday I had a brillant experience with Hop On Hop Off. The service was excellent - very thankful to Ilham for all support! I would definietly book another tour when I am visiting London next time. Great job guys! :)
Fantastic experience: John was so helpful this morning when our family travelled from stop 18 to watch change of kings guard. He gave us directions that were very clear and so helpful highly recommend this service thanks
