We had to queue but it didn't take long and once we were on the wheel it was brilliant a really hot day but air con and fabulous views then we headed for sealife and we really enjoyed it especially the penguins!! My favourite ❤️
Awesome ticket service. Not long to wait in the que. Family loved the view.
Great experience. It was first time for all of us and my visitors from the US where grateful for the experience. A day trip to remember. Thank you......
The boat trip and the London Eye were both great ways to get a feel for the city. The London Eye is very exciting and although I was frankly terrified to do it (only persuaded by my son), I got over my fear after a few minutes and enjoyed it very much
It was a good experience. No issues in booking and the whole experience was really smooth as we completed London Eye before taking the cruise.
Booking the London Eye and river cruise through Headout was very convenient online. The day itself was brilliant, thanks!
I'm not just writing a positive review here, but a general one. The boat was easy to find, but it certainly wasn't a 40 minute round trip and we had to get off at a station which we didn't want to do. Then we went on the way home (London Eye Pier) and one stop before that the boat was probably broken and everyone had to get off. At this stop, the guests who were already on board were only told that we should get a new ticket (there was a meter-long queue), although we had a ticket and we got it in advance to avoid these queues. We then went downstairs and nobody said anything. In the end we took the Undergroud back to the London eye because we were already 20 minutes over our timeslot. Luckily we got into the London eye and didn't have to queue, but we were really unlucky with the group inside the eye because they were children who couldn't behave at all and kicked the windows etc. However, this had nothing to do with the ticket from Handout. As a tip, if you book it, allow at least 3 hours between the boat and the eye in case something comes up. It was still nice and you got a perfect impression of London on the first day.
We had the best of both worlds... a visit to the Tower of London and then a great cruise to see all the other attractions in the area.
Booked for London two experiences and everything went great. Tickets immediately on the app and then on the spot with no problem. All very comfortable. Thank you
Very little waiting thanks to our Rapid Access ticket. Well-organized access to embarkation and disembarkation. Magnificent panorama. A great experience.
The commentary was funny - even in the face of a difficult audience. There was no asking of ID so all that bring ur photo ID seemed to be a waste of time
Good price and timing for the combo package. We liked the offer of free cancellation 24h before the event in case of bad weather. Lucky for was it was not the case. The 10:00 boat was very nice as we had live presentation of the main sites along the Thames river. However we didn't realize at the moment of the booking, that the boat cruise was actually a one way cruise. It started at London Eye and ended at the Tower bridge. So we had to run back to London Eye for our next appointment at 11:15. Obviously we missed the appointment and the line grew considerably till we entered the London Eye. But , at the end the weather was gorgeous so we were happy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the London Eye and the Thames River cruise! 🥳🎊 It was worth an experience!
I thought the river tour would have dropped me back at the starting point considering the combo tickets I purchased said it was a 10 minute walk from the end of the tour to the next stop. Other than that, it was absolutely fabulous.
The relative ease in accessing tickets and using them. The views from the London Eye were amazing.
Ticketing was easy and it was nice. The boat tour was great and the London Eye was perfect.
It was unclear that the cruise was only one way
Everything on the cruise and tower were perfect
Everything worked out as planned.

Great boat tour; easy access to the London Eye
So easy to use the tickets. All the experiences were top notch!
I like the people who working over there ,they're really nice , kind and helpful big thank you for all the team.
All tickets worked, no issues. We did everything we booked.
Almost no queuing! Very nice.
Really easy to book and download the tickets. Boat was very busy but we had a good seat on the top deck. Very friendly and helpful staff on board and fun and interesting commentary. Would definitely book again and will be recommending to others.
Ticket via internet day before, ok. 1 hour trip from Westminster pier to Greenwich was great experience with nice and funny commentary 🙂
great experience. The crew member narrating on the way out was amazing. Very fun and interesting. Great sense of himour The views were great and it was a lovely way to spend time on a hot day
Easy to buy tickets online and the ladies at the ticket counter were friendly. We booked fir 4.30pm but got to the Pier early. Our ticket was accepted to fit our needs. The commentary was informative and delivered in good humour. A great way to see London and how the riverscape is changing. Thank you
Booking ahead with Headout was worry-free and ensured we got in line for the cruise promptly. While we booked a return trip, it was the journey down the river that we enjoyed most. The watermen running the cruise claimed they were not official tour guides but their commentary based on knowing the Thames well was very informative.
Great trip and the added commentary made the trip. A shame we couldn't get outside upstairs on boat but still a very enjoyable experience.
The guide was very informative (even though he invented the origin of the word 'wharf' 🤔) And the river is a good vantage point to see the buildings and architecture.
We took the first boat trip at 10.10am with only a few other people. The guide spoke clearly and took us along in a humorous way. The view from the boat is very special.
We took the Thames River cruise from Westminster Pier to Greenwich. It was really lovely sitting on the top deck in the sun, even with the seagulls keeping us company. The tour commentary was really interesting, informative and at times humourous. Id definitely recommend this, and by booking online we also got a discounted price for tickets.
Such a worthwhile thing to do, and a great way to see the magnificent architecture of both old and new alike. The crew and staff were great and the whole process from ticket ordering to boarding and disembarking was well organised. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would definitely recommend as well as do again ourselves.
It was really good time on boat, you could sing inside or outside depending on weather conditions, inside were a lot windows so you could see the view very good. But the best was a man who guided us, tell us funny and also many interesting stories about the buildings we actually see. He was proffesional and funny. It was way batter than the recording. I highly recommend the Thames Sighseeing Criuse. My trip was from Westminster to Greenwich. It took around an hour. The speed of the bout was ideal not so fast so you could realy enjoy the view. Than I went back to city by regular bus.
We enjoyed the cruise. The guy driving and doing commentary was the perfect combination of knowledgeable and humorous. He made the sailing a lot of fun.
Weather was amazing , boat was packed and the boats crew very helpful and informative. The views along the river Thames were amazing and the little bits of information the unofficial tour guide ( crew member ) provided were funny, witty and really helped the journey fly by.
A Thames cruise is always high on our list of things to do when visiting London. Short notice this time, with a family member who hadn't had the pleasure of a river cruise. It was great all the way around. Narration was good, the weather cooperated nicely and there were drinks/food available to order. Price was right, too.
Being together with my friends of over 50 years to revisit memories, on a lovely sunny day. Most of all London Bridge opening to allow sailing barge Will through. Ticketing process very straightforward
It was a wonderful experience! The captain was great, ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip. The crew member who provided the commentaries kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the journey. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy their journey from start to end on a high note!
Great time. Has a good laugh with the live commentator, he was so enthusiastic and joky. We had great wwather and it was not to busy. It was worth very peny.
It's a fun trip by itself, but the crew make it even better. Sharp, fun puns all the way to Greenwich, definitely recommended!
The guy commentating had a great sense of humour with some good one liners i.e. the beach/research . TBH I definitely would prefer this than the pre recorded commentary, be aware he advised passengers to get the APP to listen to commentary and also in different languages. The boat was clean and very smooth sailing, loads of space on our trip. The only reason I didn't give it 5* was the cost of the drinks but it was my choice whether to pay it or not I suppose. Would go again. My grandson loved it.
Awesome cruise with good commentary!
Very pleasant timing
A cool, safe, informative and enjoyable ride. You can also eat and drink.
The humour sense of the captain.
Was a amazing experience definitely will be doing it again
The humorous and easy-to-understand explanations of the sights
We absolutely loved this experience. The bus stops were very conveniently located and the buses came quite often. There was a lovely audio tour on the bus and free headphones to listen with. The tour gave lots of interesting facts about the sights we were passing. The tour guides were pleasant and careful drivers. We will definitely use the company again when we return to London!
Kings Cross line took a long time to arrive and in the end we had to use the metro. it was difficult to manage with 2 kids. No agent was in the location to properly inform about delay.
Let me start by saying the Tower of London was brilliant if we had just done that tge experience would have got top marks. But the hop on hop off with Toot was bloody awful and I actually want my money back. The whole point of a tour bus is to learn about the area but their audio mussed so much out and was more interested in telling us pointless stiries about a couple kssing under a bridge, about a guy going to the Imax to see a movue about the artic circle. I couldnt care less about these stories.
The buses weren't as frequent as I thought they were to be. I would have preferred a paper ticket as my phone battery dropped off quickly during the day thereby making it difficult to access the online ticket to show the driver. The traffic congestion was unbelievable and on a couple of occasions I got off the bus and walked as it was much quicker. Obviously Tootbus doesn't have any control on the traffic issues.
Announcements were often repeated. Interesting facts were interrupted in the middle of the lecture. On the green tour there was almost only music and only Ki's voice suffered. Blue tour was the best in terms of entertainment value
So easy to book online. Loved the freedom of someone driving me around the city without having asking to worry. A great way to see all the sighrs
The audio guide played 70% music, too little information and the text of the speakers was annoying with completely unimportant stories, should probably be entertaining and funny. But it wasn't
Friendly staff and you see a lot. However, the audio commentary is not good and the bus rides are very unreliable
Access to the tower worked without any problems and without any significant waiting time, as we were there on time for the opening. The Tootbus service was OK, but the other providers were more frequent. The flow of information at Tootbus was not optimal. Nevertheless, we had a great day.
HoponHopoff, it was very nice. We didn't just do one route because you see something different on each one from the bus. You drive right past the sights. The theme boat trip was also wonderful. Tower, you need some time here, we were there for 3 hours and didn't manage to see everything.
My wife lost her scarf from LV in Your Bus. I had a Phone Call with Elisabeth from Your Service. I send a Email. The Next Morning the answer. The scarf was found. Thanks a lot. Very good Service. The Tours werde marvellous. Very reliable. Thanks D Q
We chose the blue route probably the longest and most complete. Aside from a few too many passes around the same blocks and crazy traffic that greatly lengthened the walking time overall a good experience.
The bus journey ended for us at Victoria Station and we had to organize and pay for the return journey to the hotel near Tower Bridge ourselves. We had previously been informed on inquiry that every journey we started would also end at Tower Bridge. would end at the Tower.
Covering London with commentary. The traffic was so heavy. I wondered if there could be a little bit of additional commentary in certain areas. The boat on the Thames added an extra dimension
I recommend it with my eyes closed. Discovery of London by coach and little cruise on the Thames. Simply magnificent tour of London. Tickets in the form of QR codes sent upon purchase. No problems at the various checkpoints. I'll be using Headout again for my next trips.
We thought the commentary was poor. Not enough information about all the sights. I understand you are catering to a broad band of customers. But we learned little about London
I liked everything, however at the time of booking you should make more emphasis on the fact that the hop-on hop-off Bus Tour company is Tootbus.
It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.
The experience with the bus was very good. Not so much with the cruise that was included.... According to the indications that came in the reservation the cruise departed and arrived at the same destination. But no... they made us get off at the last stop and pay again to return to the port of departure... a robbery...
The bus and the commentary were generally very good. However, compared to other hop on/hop off buses, the buses arrived infrequently and very irregularly.
The routes are good, the staff are friendly. Unfortunately, sometimes long waiting times and the inaccurate object description... sometimes it is unclear where the object is located. Otherwise satisfied. Thank you!
Due to the extreme traffic the three hours turned into five which included an unexpected 1/2 hour stop to change drivers. Maybe put this changeover could happen in a spot where there is something for the passengers to look at or to buy some refreshments. We were kind of stuck on the bus for the 30 minutes without anything to do.
It was great being able to see the iconic features of London. The bus tour was a long one and we needed to plan for just a couple of stops a day. We loved the Thames boat cruise. We had perfect weather to see so many different places.
Long wait between 2 buses (2 times 1h) and the audioguide is very short compared to other competitors.
The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.
The tour took us past lots of sights and we were able to get very close to the attractions. There was a detailed and sometimes funny explanation for each attraction and the tour was understandable even for non-native speakers.
Really easy to book and download the tickets. Boat was very busy but we had a good seat on the top deck. Very friendly and helpful staff on board and fun and interesting commentary. Would definitely book again and will be recommending to others.

My experience on the cruise is been wonderful, funny, great view and we left the cruise was really tidy and kind. Thank you 😊
Absolutely great experience! Staff was lovely, friendly and very informative..definitely worth it ! Would do it again when vizit Big city for sure. Thank you for this brilliant trip .

All was good Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
This experience is perfect for everyone. I really enjoyed it!!
The host was great, a lot of great local knowledge and humour!!! Thank you !
It was lively and very interesting! Easy to buy and enter.
I loved the crew members and the trip itself. It was excellent!
The crew, they were amazing & kept us well informed with local landmarks, with lots of humour
A place not to be missed, wonderful state of conservation, accessible, with a very friendly staff and with exceptional views.
We had to queue but it didn't take long and once we were on the wheel it was brilliant a really hot day but air con and fabulous views then we headed for sealife and we really enjoyed it especially the penguins!! My favourite ❤️
Tower of London was excellent and seeing it was great experience for us. Even we late 15 minute after our tickets, we had no problems
Awesome ticket service. Not long to wait in the que. Family loved the view.
Great experience. It was first time for all of us and my visitors from the US where grateful for the experience. A day trip to remember. Thank you......
The boat trip and the London Eye were both great ways to get a feel for the city. The London Eye is very exciting and although I was frankly terrified to do it (only persuaded by my son), I got over my fear after a few minutes and enjoyed it very much
It was a good experience. No issues in booking and the whole experience was really smooth as we completed London Eye before taking the cruise.
Totally enjoyed visiting Tower Bridge and going over the top. A bit scary walking over the "glass" but not too be missed. Engine room was fun to investigate. The Tower of London was immense and full of history, of course. Crown jewels were unbelievable.
It was all very easy, get there, enter visit, by the way we were a little early, but the staff, very kind, let us in. Interesting visit for both sites, I recommend it.
Very nice visit on the tower bridge, a little less so on the tower of London, given the proximity however the combo between the two tickets is perfect
As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea. We had planned 2 hours for the Tower with two children (aged 7 and 10), which was adequate. We spent the whole afternoon at the Tower. Especially in Tower Bridge, the tour through the museum and the engine room is very entertaining for the children with an accompanying activity.
Booking the London Eye and river cruise through Headout was very convenient online. The day itself was brilliant, thanks!
The tickets were easy to purchase, we chose a dual ticket option with a reduction for seniors. At both places, the staff was very flexible allowing us to enter early. 2 to 3 hours in the Tower is required as there is so much to see. The audio guide is very worthwhile, Beefeater guide attracts large number. Our trip to Tower Bridge was fascinating, worth visiting the engine room, very interesting.
Everything went well with the tickets. However, the river cruise was only one way and only from Westminster to the Tower, so we had to fork out another 18 €, whic
I'm not just writing a positive review here, but a general one. The boat was easy to find, but it certainly wasn't a 40 minute round trip and we had to get off at a station which we didn't want to do.

I thought the river tour would have dropped me back at the starting point considering the combo tickets I purchased said it was a 10 minute walk from the end of the tour to the next stop. Other than that, it was absolutely fabulous.
The crystal floor in the towers was amessing

Great experience. interesting and charming guide.
Good Transfer and Informations from the guide
Wonderful tour to appreciate London from a different perspective! Excellent guide who entertains and explains well what you see (only in English but very understandable) and with a sense of humor!
Cruise was fantastic,have done it a couple of times before but haven't gone as far as Greenwich before. Loved the commenting, really interesting and funny at the same time. Thank you
The views were great. Stayed on to Greenwich which was definitely worth it. The guy that did the guiding was great. Unfortunately it was difficult to hear. Would recommend to others.
Was able to see all the best parts of the capital in a short amount of time whilst enjoying the open top views on a beautifully sunny day. The commentary was also helpful.
That you can explore the city from the streets.
Ticketing was very good and efficient. Recorded info wasn't the best, should be better tied to location and a bit less goofy dialogue and more information
The staff were very helpful and there were no issues with staff. However I choose big bus as the company stated that buses were every 20-30 mins ect. However this was not the case. We were waiting for much longer periods compared to the cheaper companies who appeared to have a better service. I would never book with the company again. Paying the extra was a waste of money. I would not recommend to friends or family
The cruise portion of the excursion was sub par. The boat had issues and could not board passengers. We had to wait nearly two hours for the next boat. This subsequently affected are schedule.
Lea the live guide and Trevor the driver made our complete Red line tour absolutely wonderful! What a great experience!
The audio guide was really good and clear, and done in a humerus way. The only thing bus waiting time was too long, We waited for bus for over an hour, The waiting time was too much. Not 15-20 as informed.
It was fine until mid day when three stops were not operating without warning and disrupted our plans. End of the day at Tower of London we waited for over 45 minutes and finally decided to pay to ride the river boat back.
Thames River tour was awesome! Excellent tour hosts who provide a wonderful description of what you are seeing. Big Bus tour was good but there are many many more buses from other tour companies that pick up passengers while we waited for the Big Bus. We got off at one stop and had to wait one hour for a Big Bus tour bus to come back to pick us up. This prevented us from getting off at stops in the city as we were concerned that we would not be picked up and would not see the remainder of the blue or red route. We thought we had the evening tour included but our tickets printed "does not include night tour".
The best thing to do is to buy tickets for the tour from the vendors located at the stops. You receive good information and treatment, considering that we seniors do not always speak the language.
Ricer trip was great & crew superb, wonderful commentary The Big Bus tour had lots of off route time due to so many toad works around the Museum area & did not go past Buckingham Palace due to road works. At Tower Bridge there were no busses for more than 1/2 hour - staff said all the buses were bunched together. When the bus arrived it was too full to get on so we waited another 10 minutes for the next bus. Meanwhile loads of the other competitors busses went past. It's a lot of money to not provide a regular service, would not recommend Big Bus & would try another company next time
The lady at the St. Paul's Cathedral bus stop was fantastic. She was the best part of the experience! We booked online, but she was still incredibly helpful even throwing away my rubbish for me. And HOHO buses are always a fun way to see a lot lazily.
Super convenient to get to all the attractions. Ticket process was very simple.
The tours include all the well-known sights and the audio accompaniment is interesting and relaxed.
My driver was so kind and friendly
Staff very friendly and helped at all times. We got everywhere . Gladly again 🤩
Support team members were friendly and helpful. Thames river boat captain's guiding was humorous!
Thames river cruise was awesome!
An efficient way to get a comprehensive view of London.
Friendly workers, liked the audio tour, clean
We learned a lot about London's history.
Conveniently see the most important sights.
It was great. It was just spoiled by the weather
Very good, the captain of the river trip explained everything well with humor. Bus tour ran smoothly.
Love it, good price, nice busses.
Worth every penny for the experience 👏🏻👏🏻👍
Amazing Experience Overall! Everything from the booking to the redemption was a breeze.
Everything worked well, overall satisfaction👍
We were able to see a lot of London in only 2 days because it was so convenient to take the bus and to have admission already paid for many of the sites we visited.
Just being able to see all the life-like famous people and having photos taken with those we liked so much over the years.
The exhibition is beautifully designed and extremely informative. There is a passport for children on which they can collect stamps. A small cat guides you through the exhibition, which is present everywhere but not at all distracting. The pictures and information in the exhibition are wonderfully presented and you have a really great feeling of being right in the middle of the construction of the bridge. There is a glass floor at the top of the transverse corridor, I didn't dare to go up there at first, but you also have a great view from up there. I can say that the tour was much better than I had expected.
The glass floor and the good view
Awesome ticket service. Not long to wait in the que. Family loved the view.
Great experience for everyone!
Good price and all tickets at a glance and quickly at hand thanks to the app.
I loved the visit. And the ticket sales went very smoothly.
Great experience. It was first time for all of us and my visitors from the US where grateful for the experience. A day trip to remember. Thank you......
The boat trip and the London Eye were both great ways to get a feel for the city. The London Eye is very exciting and although I was frankly terrified to do it (only persuaded by my son), I got over my fear after a few minutes and enjoyed it very much
It was a good experience. No issues in booking and the whole experience was really smooth as we completed London Eye before taking the cruise.
The visit was very interesting and informative. You learned a lot about the history of Tower Bridge and about the people who worked on it.
Views were great, staff were polite and very helpful, Howard the London expert was very informative, making the visit a fantastic experience. Would recommend.
Fantastic way to explore an iconic part of London. Interesting historical details. Amazing walk-way with great views. EAsy to arrange tickets. Great experience.
Booking the London Eye and river cruise through Headout was very convenient online. The day itself was brilliant, thanks!
Booking via the portal is easy and you have everything in view via the tab, my booking... I am thrilled and would book events in London again and again.
Enjoyed the glass bridge and the engine room but overall there really wasn't much to see and we were in and out in less than 40 minutes.
I'm not just writing a positive review here, but a general one. The boat was easy to find, but it certainly wasn't a 40 minute round trip and we had to get off at a station which we didn't want to do. Then we went on the way home (London Eye Pier) and one stop before that the boat was probably broken and everyone had to get off. At this stop, the guests who were already on board were only told that we should get a new ticket (there was a meter-long queue), although we had a ticket and we got it in advance to avoid these queues. We then went downstairs and nobody said anything. In the end we took the Undergroud back to the London eye because we were already 20 minutes over our timeslot. Luckily we got into the London eye and didn't have to queue, but we were really unlucky with the group inside the eye because they were children who couldn't behave at all and kicked the windows etc. However, this had nothing to do with the ticket from Handout. As a tip, if you book it, allow at least 3 hours between the boat and the eye in case something comes up. It was still nice and you got a perfect impression of London on the first day.
A very friendly staff that conversed well with the guests. The view was fantastic. It was our first stop in London and the perfect beginning.
We had the best of both worlds... a visit to the Tower of London and then a great cruise to see all the other attractions in the area.
A visit to this astonishing bridge is a must. The tour is well organized and flowing. Texts and photos of the construction make it easy to follow the adventure. The little notebooks given to the children, with pages to be stamped at each stage, are great fun. The highlight of the show is the thrill of walking on the windows of the 2 footbridges.
It was very interesting to explore the tower bridge and the engine room. Also, buying tickets with Headout was easy and it was the only ride offering sales based on previous purchases.
It was a well layed out tour of the tower bridge. The glass portions of the floor were very cool. Unfortunately, the crowds on a Saturday afternoon were large and made it difficult to see the wall exhibits and enjoy the glass floor experience as we would have liked.
Very easy to reserve a time slot on this site! Great experience, with a dive into history with the construction of this bridge and into the future with the crossing of the glass footbridge!
The commentary was funny - even in the face of a difficult audience. There was no asking of ID so all that bring ur photo ID seemed to be a waste of time
Well, if you say Tower bridge you are talking about an icon and rightly so. If you are a fan of history of engineering then it is a must see for you in London. To see the innards of an iconic building is a treat you are to enjoy.
Good price and timing for the combo package. We liked the offer of free cancellation 24h before the event in case of bad weather. Lucky for was it was not the case. The 10:00 boat was very nice as we had live presentation of the main sites along the Thames river. However we didn't realize at the moment of the booking, that the boat cruise was actually a one way cruise. It started at London Eye and ended at the Tower bridge. So we had to run back to London Eye for our next appointment at 11:15. Obviously we missed the appointment and the line grew considerably till we entered the London Eye. But , at the end the weather was gorgeous so we were happy.
A place not to be missed, wonderful state of conservation, accessible, with a very friendly staff and with exceptional views.
Tower of London was excellent and seeing it was great experience for us. Even we late 15 minute after our tickets, we had no problems
Very nice all around. A very nice visit with very good views.
Efficient and quick with no problems.
Kings Cross line took a long time to arrive and in the end we had to use the metro. it was difficult to manage with 2 kids. No agent was in the location to properly inform about delay.
Totally enjoyed visiting Tower Bridge and going over the top. A bit scary walking over the "glass" but not too be missed. Engine room was fun to investigate. The Tower of London was immense and full of history, of course. Crown jewels were unbelievable.
Let me start by saying the Tower of London was brilliant if we had just done that tge experience would have got top marks. But the hop on hop off with Toot was bloody awful and I actually want my money back. The whole point of a tour bus is to learn about the area but their audio mussed so much out and was more interested in telling us pointless stiries about a couple kssing under a bridge, about a guy going to the Imax to see a movue about the artic circle. I couldnt care less about these stories.
It was all very easy, get there, enter visit, by the way we were a little early, but the staff, very kind, let us in. Interesting visit for both sites, I recommend it.
Very nice visit on the tower bridge, a little less so on the tower of London, given the proximity however the combo between the two tickets is perfect
As the Tower and Tower Bridge are close together, a morning and afternoon combination of the two sights is a good idea. We had planned 2 hours for the Tower with two children (aged 7 and 10), which was adequate. We spent the whole afternoon at the Tower. Especially in Tower Bridge, the tour through the museum and the engine room is very entertaining for the children with an accompanying activity.
We first visited the Tower with the Crown Jewels. We saw everything in 4 hours and it was a great experience. The highlight was then the London Eye. We treated ourselves to Fast Track and that was really great as we could walk through to the gondola without having to wait. A great day.
It was important to arrive early enough to get in on time, as already mentioned on the tickets. Both the Tower and Tower Bridge were very interesting You should allow 3 hours for the Tower tour in particular
Access to the tower worked without any problems and without any significant waiting time, as we were there on time for the opening. The Tootbus service was OK, but the other providers were more frequent. The flow of information at Tootbus was not optimal. Nevertheless, we had a great day.
HoponHopoff, it was very nice. We didn't just do one route because you see something different on each one from the bus. You drive right past the sights. The theme boat trip was also wonderful. Tower, you need some time here, we were there for 3 hours and didn't manage to see everything.
The tickets were easy to purchase, we chose a dual ticket option with a reduction for seniors. At both places, the staff was very flexible allowing us to enter early. 2 to 3 hours in the Tower is required as there is so much to see. The audio guide is very worthwhile, Beefeater guide attracts large number. Our trip to Tower Bridge was fascinating, worth visiting the engine room, very interesting.
Everything went well with the tickets. However, the river cruise was only one way and only from Westminster to the Tower, so we had to fork out another 18 €, whic
Covering London with commentary. The traffic was so heavy. I wondered if there could be a little bit of additional commentary in certain areas. The boat on the Thames added an extra dimension
I recommend it with my eyes closed. Discovery of London by coach and little cruise on the Thames. Simply magnificent tour of London. Tickets in the form of QR codes sent upon purchase. No problems at the various checkpoints. I'll be using Headout again for my next trips.
I liked everything, however at the time of booking you should make more emphasis on the fact that the hop-on hop-off Bus Tour company is Tootbus.
It would be better if you had a human guide pointing out what you were talking about. On a crowded bus it was hard to tell which building the guide was talking about or even where in the route where you were. No one announcing or display of what stop you were at so you could keep up.
The bus and the commentary were generally very good. However, compared to other hop on/hop off buses, the buses arrived infrequently and very irregularly.
The price was great. We saw the whole of blue line which was 3 1/2 hrs. Great view of the city and short spurts of history thru headphones. River cruise was a different perspective of the city by water. The guide was funny on the water cruise. Tower of London was the 2nd day for us. We stayed about 3 hrs and did the guided audio tour. We really enjoyed it. Always nice to find deals on vacation to save a buck or two.
The crystal floor in the towers was amessing
my family enjoyed the visit with efficient check in and security check
Very impressive everything, practical above all. And the service provided was excellent too, very attentive.
