The tour with the Big Bus Company is quite nice, you don`t have to wait very long to get on bus. but DON`T BUY TICKETS FOR ANY SIGHTSEEING ATTRACTION ON THE BUS!!! they tell you you don`t have to wait in the quee, but thats not right!! And, i told them that im a student, but they sold me the ticket pour the price for an adult!!! i could have saved ...
The Big Red Bus is the best way to see London and the surrounding areas. It is very imformitive you learn alot, full of details and things you never would think of. Never a dull moment. The drivers are very polite, infact they were the best ones to ask any questions of that I found in London. Love that bus.

the perfect way to discover London

I went in London 2 times in 3 weeks and if the city is amazing, the Big Bus tours contributes to my so quick come back: friendly people, very informated guides who understood that you can provided serious information on a funny tone.
As I'm on my own ( and a woman ) I took them as my main transportation mean in the day. making me more secure ...
The absolute best thing to do first thing off the plane in London (as other reviewers have stated).
It's a full overview of the city with humorous guides (or if you prefer pre-recorded, more informative, guided headphone based commentary) and a route that covers it all.
Its hop-on, hop-off is the perfect way to see the city with a ton of stops. You won't fall asleep despite the jet lag and the price is dirt cheap.
My family of 5 loved the Big Bus Company in London. We rode it all around the city and it was quite informative. When the rain started... they even provided us some rain ponchos! How fun! We rode around on the top of the bus with our ponchos on and then when we got off the bus, we walked around town in them. Did we look touristy and ridiculous? Probably. Did we have a great time and not get wet? Absolutely!
The Big Bus really is the only way to go. It's the first thing I do on every trip to London. I hop on the bus and take the complete tour. Then, once I've been reminded of why I love London so much, I take the tour again. This time I jump on and off the bus at different sites. The bus stops at all the popular attractions and you can get on and off as much as you like for 24 hours. And you get a free map...

The Big Bus Company offers a great value for money sightseeing tour, excellent guides and friendly pavement staff. I found the free Ghost Walking tour was the highlight of my Big Bus experience. It was definately worth the money, would recommend!

The Perfect Beginning
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/29/04
After checking into our hotel and getting rid of our backpacks, this was the very first thing we did on our Great British trip. We got into Heathrow about 7:30am, so we weren't about to waste a whole day catching up on sleep, even though I was beat. (I can't sleep on airplanes) We found the Big Bus Company, and we invested in a tour, ...
