BUS TOURS

Venice has its gondolas, Prague has its horse-drawn carriages and London has its double decker buses. View some of London's famous sights atop an open-top upper deck.

Most of the operators allow you to buy tickets when you arrive at the bus stop (you will see a sign with the name of the company). Many feature a hop-on, hop-off facility, allowing you to break your journey to visit sights along the way and rejoin the tour on another bus. Usually there will be live English commentary and some have audiotapes with other languages.

Some companies are: Original London Sightseeing Tour, Big Bus Company, London Pride Sightseeing, Golden Tours (fully inclusive), Evan Evans Tour (pick up at hotels, fully inclusive).

You will find bus stops all around London.
