A must do when in London. The sights are all most far apart. This helps to see sights in one go, based on which routes joined. We did the Yellow route as this has a lot of buses. Green route has fewer buses so be mindful when trying to catch this. There is no timing for the buses but the Toot app has indicators of live locations of buses. In summer, it’s hot so take the covered part.

You only need to show the QR code upon arrival, very convenient. I would recommend to book the ticket as soon as possible as it is a popular tourist attraction. I would also recommend to queue at least half an hour before the time you booked as it is very crowded.

I was very satisfied. The driver was attentive, explained carefully, and tried his best to take me to see things that were not on the itinerary. I was not feeling well and he ended the trip to accompany me to the emergency room and took me home. He was very empathetic and a very kind person. The lady who contacted me was also very attentive and responsible. Very satisfied

The director is very professional and solved our problems seriously. The scenery of Cambridge is very beautiful, and the itinerary is very relaxing. The car will not be pulled very far.
