Big Bus Tours
Hop-on hop-off sightseeing with open-top double-decker buses. 30+ stops with audio guides in multiple languages.
About
Since 1991, Big Bus Tours' red double-deckers have become London sightseeing icons, combining transport with entertainment for millions. This hop-on hop-off pioneer perfected the formula: convenient routing, quality commentary, and comprehensive orientation—often visitors' first London experience beyond airports.
Network Excellence
Open-top buses navigate 50+ stops across three interconnected routes, connecting major attractions while providing upper-deck photography platforms. Surprising agility through narrow streets and under low bridges ensures comprehensive coverage without missing hidden gems.
Live guides—often actors or historians—blend facts with humor, adapting to audiences. Twelve-language recorded commentary ensures accessibility; children's channels feature character narrators. GPS-triggered information matches sights precisely, avoiding confusion.
Beyond Basic Transport
Thames cruises provide riverside perspectives. Walking tours explore bus-inaccessible areas: royal London to hidden City corners. Night tours illuminate familiar sights differently. Real-time app tracking, attraction info, exclusive discounts enhance experience.
Routes adjust for events and construction. Christmas lights tours, summer extensions respond seasonally. Skip-the-line partnerships add value. Whether transport between attractions, complete circuit orientation, or detailed walking explorations, Big Bus Tours proves mass tourism delivers quality through attention to detail.
