Our Harry Potter tour in London led by David was an exceptional adventure that perfectly balanced enchantment and education. His remarkable friendliness towards the kids made the experience truly special, creating an atmosphere of comfort and excitement. With an impressive depth of knowledge about both the wizarding world and London's history, our guide skillfully wove together a narrative that fascinated young and old alike. This tour is an absolute must for families seeking a delightful and kid-friendly exploration of Harry Potter's magical universe intertwined with the charms of London.
Our tour guide John was very nice and knew London well. He managed a problem with the tube and had lots of London history along with the Harry Potter knowledge. Your Oklahoma Family loved it John. Thanks again
The audio headset was helpful. It was also good to have additional details beyond just Harry Potter details while we were in transit.
Great tour! And the guide was perfect and so nice! Great
Max was fabulous, he talked about other monuments as we walked along. He was engaging, fun and knowledgeable. My kids (17/11) and I enjoyed the tour. Millennium bridge was a highlight!
The guide was the most fun! Her cheerful spirit and detailed knowledge really made the tour so very enjoyable!

The tour guide was well knowledgeable and in the times when nothing was happening at the changing of the guard, he kept us informed. I totally appreciated the story of the man that broke in and was with the queen, and the fact that she understood him and greeted him well.... amazing story, I'm sure it was an event.
Kateryna our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and a great sense of humour, engaged everyone in the group. She also knew the best vantage points during the changing of the guard.
Our guide Kevin was an English original and was full of heart and wit! Very entertaining and amusing! A real experience: simply top!

I would never be able to understand what was happening nor figure out which way to go without a guide. She was awesome, very nice with a great spirit and sense of humor and explained in details each part of the tour. I definitely recommend.
Very nice guide. The trip met our expectations: a small group, some knowledge, some humor, the opportunity to take fantastic photos. I recommend
A guided tour for the changing of the guards was definitely the way to go! Our guide knew exactly where to go to get the best views and was very knowledgeable.
The guide was very good and there was plenty of information about Buckingham Palace and the changing of the guard. Unfortunately a group of four who were late for another group aggressively joined us. The guide was furious and eventually gave in and took the group away. I thought that was outrageous. After half an hour, the four of them were suddenly gone, with equipment including earphones. As if that was planned? Nevertheless, the guide was great and did a good job.

The lecturer was perfect, very friendly, and her articulation of English very understandable, with anecdotes. She took us to the best places to get a good look at the horseguards.

Our guide Marilyn did a great job on the tour 👍🏼 Unfortunately, the booking states that it is a tour "through Buckingham Palace". However, this was not the case. You walk from the Monument of York to the Palace, but do not enter the Palace itself. Nevertheless, the tour was very interesting.

We were able to enjoy all the best moments of the shift up close thanks to the guide's excellent knowledge. Aron was a perfect guide who took us to the best spots and explained a lot about traditions, the history of the guard, the history of certain characters in the monarchy. I loved it, and so did my son (8). Great mix of knowledge, humor and pedagogy!

It was great. I loved that the guy leading the toor was very excited and took usbto the best spots to see the changing of the guard. Would highly recommend Raf
It was a really nice experience, it is a captivating ceremonial display of British tradition. With its precision, colorful uniforms, and rhythmic music, it draws large crowds, offering a unique glimpse into royal pageantry.
Unable to get tickets without internet and this caused problems. Natalie our guide for the changing of the guard was excellent. I would recommend her to anyone.
sophie, our guide was super good, always took us to the best places, we were able to see and experience everything. thank you!

Our guide knew where and when to stand for seeing the guards. We enjoyed the stories - both historical and light hearted. I would have liked to have heard more of the guards playing but then we would have missed out hearing more from the guide.
Jeremy, our guide for the Changing of the Guards, was excellent!! We were able to see the band and the Guards from a few vantage points which was fun. Jeremy also was full of intereting information about Buckingham Palace and the surrounding parks and palace. I would highly recomment taking this tour.
Michael was an excellent guide and we were all amazed by his knowledge and the way he described everything to us. Unfortunately we couldn't experience the change of the guard
Ou4 guide (Sophie) was amazing. Knowledgable, personal and funny. She made the history lessons so entertaining that even our 14 year old girls enjoyed the expreince very much. Thank you.
Our guide was pleasant and knowledgeable. Lots of history learned and the changing of the guard ceremony was a really cool experience.
Lee was a fantastic guide with tons of knowledge and funny guy. He got us to see perfect timing of all the steps of changing of the guard.
Our guide Sophie was very dynamic and pleasant. Always available to answer questions. Lots of information punctuated by a pleasant touch of humor. Having a guide to introduce us to the changing of the guard was a plus that put us in a good position. Tickets for the Tower of London purchased in advance allowed us to get on with the day.

I can't say enough now amazing Louise was as our tour guide for changing of the guards! She was extremely knowledgeable, witty, and so much fun! We had the best spots to see everything! Thank you Louise!
Lee was an incredible tour guide who was incredibly knowledgable about the various sights we saw throughtout the tour, and ensured that the entire group stayed together. Could not have asked for a better experience.

We've been taking the Big Bus for a long time. This is the first time we've had to wait so long to catch a bus. We looked at the waiting time on the app, but it kept changing. Also, once it arrived, it could be crowded, which sometimes prevented us from sitting down and/or listening to the audio guide.

Seamless ticeketing procedure online.Wonderfyl!The itenerary has been very well planned with a running commentary it made the tour comfortable and easy to connect with the places we passed by.
Ticketing was easy and very convenient. Loved being able to get around and get off at the places we wanted to see more of.
Open roof bus is great. But audio guide was interrupted and cut-off many, many times. So information was lost, what you saw driving by. Sometimes it was also not clear which house etc. the guide talked about, as we had passed it already or where not there yet. Or the description was too vague. The audio guide is the added benefit compared to driving around the city with the regular much cheaper bus lines. If the audio guide doesn't work properly, the tour is not worth its price.
Love the ability to use the hop on hop off at many locations. Just a bit muddling as to where the stops were , that is which side of the street you get the bus . Also the blue is a bit too long fir one ride.
Got to see alot but it was the hottest day of the year and it was very hot on top. We did come prepared with hats and water. However the English haven't invented aircon yet so it was very hot when we had to sit downstairs. I can imagine it would be freezing in winter.
being able to cover all the major attractions with flexibility on choosing which one to see and where to get off. different routes (red and blue) help as well in terms of some planning for the sights the river cruise was excellent (with the weather being great as well on the day) One issue that we encountered was that the frequency would vary for the buses and the app at times wasnt that helpful.
Made a list of what we wanted to see. Saw everything using hop on hop off bus..brilliant we also went on the river cruise from Tower Bridge to Westminster.
It was very convenient. The drivers were so helpful any time I had questions. Would be nice if buses were air conditioned or windows opened more.
The sights of London. However, we noticed that there were no many Red route buses in comparison to the Blue route buses. We had to wait at Hyde Park corner for over 20 minutes for a Red bus, but 4 Blue buses came & went in that time.
The bus tour was great, it included the main sites to visit and the application with the whole route and stops is very helpful. I'll suggest to find a common stop to connect the 3 routes (green, blue and red) to enjoy a full trip. Also, the cruise for the Thames river was only one way, we thought it was a round trip and that we will return to the same place we started to continue with the hop on hop off route but had to walked some time to go back and start again the route.
The map you have on your website is no longer accurate so we waited around for several busses to get on the ORANGE line and it no longer exists. With everyone using technology today, you should update your map on your site.
It was good to see the attractions and have some info about them. Unfortunately the map we got with our tickets was out of date so we wasted a lot of time looking for where to catch the bus. Once we got the bus we had the up to date version and could work out where to go.
Easy to order online, only issue was confirmation e mail stated photo I'd required to relinquish tickets. I had no photo ID. Contacted the help chat and was reassured this was not needed. Plenty of buses available good commentary, friendly drivers. Loved driving over Tower bridge.
We checked in for the first time and the driver simply waived us back and did not direct us to the earphones. We had to figure out the audio system on our own. It was a hot day and the downstairs if our bus was stiffling; once we moved upstairs it was better. Tour was good once we got deleted in; explanations on the audio guide need to be updated now that there is a new monarch in place.
We had a great time on our London hop on hop off tour with Big Bus. The addition is the one way Thames River cruise was a really nice addition although some of the information for this could have been easier to find on the websites. The bus tours were good except that some of the stops near Picadilly were changed because of detours and we didn't know about this until the bus was driving off route according to the map. We ended up getting off and course correcting ourselves. The commentary on the bus is pre recorded which was informative and fine but know that it does repeat some of the facts at different points.
The bus had issues with several of the audio outlets and at leas six of the plug-in boxed did not work around the seats I had. The 1:35 hr trip took nearly 4 hr due to traffic problems (no fault of the bus/service)...😕
The mate on the river cruise was funny and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed it! After three days of walking, the bus was a great way to see the city and test the feet.
The bus driver was so kind and helpful
GOOD UNDERSTANDING VIA HEADSET FOR US DANESE. THE GUIDE ON THE BOAT WAS ENTERTAINING BUT SPOKE TOO FAST
Thames cruise good overview of the highlights of the city
Ticketing experience was great and the acctivities were terrific
The live commentary was great - informative and funny! And the views from the river can't be beat
Looked the combined bus and boat ride. Online Ticketing was easy and convenient

Good experience, too bad that you cannot track the bus location through the app and consequently cannot estimate how long you are going to have to wait for the bus. It would also be helpful if stops that are temporarily not in use were displayed in the app.

Nice tour with good audio explanations, audio quality very good. We were able to see all the important sights from the comfort of the bus. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the 20 minute break not mentioned anywhere towards the end of our last trip when the children were already tired and hungry

Using the App was quite easy for older folk. The staff were helpful on the bus. Timetables and maps very easy to follow enjoyed the distance we could travel.
Excursion was good. It rained that day so the bus windows fogged up. Some of the audio connections didn't work in the bus. Also we expected the half covered top busses but didn't see any that day. Saw them next day
Easy to book, mobile ticket is an awesome feature to avoid printing hard copy of tickets. The blue tour was excellent, goes through all important sites. The only one tiny issue to fix is to make your top floor seats waterproof. Cheers, Salah
Easy to find the locations, happy about the routes. Only thing is would have had more information about London and it s details in the audio guide. I wish less music was played in the audio guide and added some useful information and history about each location or general information about London.
App was good . Service good. Drivers were very good. Would be great to see app with extra explanation what can be seen at every bus stop.
To begin with I would like to mention the good treatment, the breakfasts were nice and sustained. We had privacy, wifi available, and above all tranquility that allowed us to rest well.

We booked for 48 hours and the first day was good but the 2nd we want to take the yellow line and from Big ben to Picardy circus all venues was closed so we walked on venue after the other on and finally never took the bus and lost our money !! 4 of us. When we finally see a bus and talked to them about it, nobody was awared of it (green line) they were having conversation via walky talky and it seems to be a suprise for everybody... No notice on the apps... a lost of money and time, unfortunatly time is very important when you travel, gain customer always the one who pay for it.
Great going on the route, but the music playing on the headphones wasn't great. And it would've been nice to have each building pointed out and what it was. But recommend.
A very nice way to see London. And very friendly staff they could take an example from here in the netherlands.

It was great to see all the Interesting spots in London. Hop on - Hop off allows to see and visit the places in a relaxed way. With the app it is easy to find the bus stops and to know when the next bus might arrive. This is the only topic which should be improved. Information on bus arrival was not relyable and sometimes busses did not arrive at all.
I loved the itinerary and the flexibility of having several buses on the same day. I didn't like the website where I bought it, because I would have liked to have bought 48 hours and I ended up buying 24 hours because of a bug in the app.

We liked the tour but not the traffic situation in London. Not your fault though. The guides and the staff on stops were excellent and helpful. It wasn't possible to only mark the first box so that is why we ticked the second.
The possibility of using 3 lines with 3 different routes.The yellow line certainly the most interesting, the blue line also very good because at some stops it allows you to change with the yellow.

We were a party of four - two adults ( I am British) and two teenagers 13 & 15, all from Canada. We were very pleased with the route(s), the drivers and their assistance, generally the experience on-board was a good standard .... BUT ... the audio we all felt was very poor. Very little history of the London landmarks we passed, too much music which was irrelavant to the trip, the personal feelings &/or experiences and thoughts of the commentators was unnecessary, for example when near Buckingham Palace and heading towards Victoria the male voice said " well actually i don`t like parades" - similar words to that effect......!!!!! After half of the trip we turned off the audio because it was felt to be of no benefit at all. I would be interested to know if anyone from your sales or customer services team had taken the tour from the respect of being a tourist and wanting to know historic information about London. In fact does anyone really and honestly care which school David Cameron`s daughter went to.....? Your comments would be interested to receive, or indeed please telephone me 07946 589123. Best regards, John Calder
The buses are pleasant and fairly frequent. The staff are very friendly. My suggestion would be to add more information and anecdotes and to describe the building in question. The little notes of humor are great.

Whhhhyyy do I need an app just for the ticket?!?!? This is stupid!! I had them added to the specific toot bus app, but then they weren't offline available. We had to search for WiFi to get the app etc. For foreign tourists who don't always have data on holiday, this is really dumb, sorry. For on the bus: stop playing music between the information. We missed half the guide content, because we kept taking off the headphones because the music was so annoying. Other than that. Nice buses, good schedule, good routes and most of all: incredibly kind staff. They really save the whole experience.
Nice long rides, we were able to see a lot in London and most drivers super friendly, like the one on the green route. Only minus point the earphones for the audio did not always work correctly, some really did not work and on others the nr jumped back to "1" so to english.
View original review in Dutch
Friendy ground support staff. Drivers always smiling and welcoming in any connection. The weather was not good for me, but it has nothing to do with the Toop. I had an opportunity to see and get information about the places and monumet. I will have more time to contonue to the green line, and night seen site to London including walking tour.
The routes were thorough & timely. Ticketing was easy. There was a bit of an oops with the audio on one bus. Another item I would hope you might be able to change is that while in traffic awaiting the next sight/stop, that more historical stories be told instead of playing music. The same songs were played over & over. Also, the volume between music & story telling was significantly different.
We were in a hurry, for the first time in London, so the bus experience was PERFECT for our needs. We got to see a lot of London historical sights, even though we would have loved to go much more in depth (next time!).
Busses were on time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Different routes available for all the hotspots. Had an amazing day.
I thought it was value for money and staff were extremely friendly the weather spoilt it a bit but it was great fun hop off and on the bus

The trip to Oxford was definitely added value before we left for the studios was very nice to be able to stand somewhere where a scene from the first Harry Potter movie was filmed.

The tour of the studios was superb, with the whole Harry Potter universe on display. But it lacked a little playful animation, being more like a museum.

The Tourguide, Lucy, was literally the greatest. She was so nice and was in a really good mood at all times. The Oxford Tour was also really good and was worth the price. And the Harry Potter Studios were so amazing. For Potter Heads really great.
The harry potter park is excellent, to those who like it a must-see plan. The guide and customer service is good in front of the tour. But the only issue is not having a crane that speaks Spanish.

The tour is very complete, the guides are excellent, friendly and fun. Everything was very good, we went to Oxford, we had a guided tour and also time to explore on our own which is amazing. The entrance to Warner Studios was very fast and they don't waste your time. They are very organized and give you very clear instructions which helps you maximize your experience. Personally I would have liked to have more time to spend at Warner Studios. However, I did the full tour and at my own pace I saw everything and enjoyed it to the fullest.

Our host Will was wonderful! He was informative about our experience, was very friendly and helpful with picture taking. He helped our experience be a fantastic one!
The VIP package was an excellent choice for our 25th anniversary. Three couples and our fantastic guide made the 30-minute trip. As the night lights of London began revealing this vast city, we were educated on London landmarks and trivia. The champagne was an excellent addition to our experience.
"We booked the champagne experience and are more than satisfied - the price-performance ratio is top! But what we absolutely have to emphasize is Arnie, our companion. He was simply the highlight of the whole experience! My mom and I felt incredibly comfortable and in good hands. And the photos he took - just WOW! Thank you so much for this unforgettable time!"

Everyone who was organising the que was really upbeat and positive. The staff got everyone on and off in a timely manner. I thought the whole thing was well organised all the staff knew what they were doing and seemed happy to do their work. A rarity in this modern age.
The tour was fantastic, but the waiting in line-system was complicated with two different sections of the line. Did not work out and people did not respect or understand the queing system.
The attraction provides a great view of London's rooftops, the capsules are very spacious and clean, they don't move and for those who suffer from vertigo, I don't think they will be affected that much. The ride takes about 30 min and acceptable quality price. Recommended as an attraction to do in London

My daughter and I went to London for a short trip and this was on our list of things to do. Amazing 360° view! The timing was perfect. You have 30 minutes to enjoy this experience and we found it to be not too long and not too short. Staff was friendly and while the lines appear long, they move quickly and efficiently!
Easy, quick access, uncomplicated entry and VIP experience allowed me to travel with fewer and more comfortable people.

Undoubtedly take the ticket on line if you have never been in London and want to take advantage of the time. We arrived on a Monday, it was a bit crowded but as we had the tickets on line we went straight through. The experience is expensive but satisfying, an activity that you should definitely do since you are in London. Our skies were clear and we didn't get rained on in October. The half hour you are suspended is quickly spent admiring the views.

The champagne experience is really worth it. A maximum of 18 people in the cabin, 25-30 fit in. Totally relaxed, you meet in the lounge beforehand and the group goes to the Fast Lane together with a guide. Champagne is then served in the cabin, with orange juice, apple spritzer or water for the kids. We didn't have to wait at the fast lane.
