Vintage Red London Bus Tours - Choose The Tour Reflecting Your Interests
The Vintage Red London Bus Tour is not a rigid format tour, nor is it a hop on, hop off type service on one off London's famous red buses.
The core tour gets you off to great start to the day orientating you to London. After picking you up from your London hotel or a hotel close by, a beautifully restored double-decker bus will take you on a tour of London's highlights including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye, all brought to life by an expert guide on-board.

After this orientation and many photos later you are taken on a river cruise to see London from a different perspective. Off the boat and its back on board the bus to head for Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard. For afternoon tours there is a photo stop at Buckingham Palace.
What happens after changing of the Guard is up to you. You can just call it a day and continue sightseeing independently or you can select your own afternoon tour to add on. This can take the form of a major London sightseeing attraction like the London Eye, Tower of London or Madame Tussauds or you can venture much further afield, Stonehenge is one possibility.

Save Money Combining Leading London Attractions & Hop On Hop Off Sightseeing Buses
The Original London Tour as its name implies is the original hop-on hop-off London sightseeing bus service.
The hop-on, hop off sightseeing buses are an excellent first day in London quickly getting you up to speed and orientated with the layout of London and your guide pointing out sights and destinations you might have not previously considered visiting.
But most visitors to London will have their own "must see" list of attractions.
So why not save some money and purchase your hop-on, hop off sightseeing bus tickets and your "must see" attractions as a package. You don't have to use the attraction tickets on the day you use the sightseeing bus either.
Madame Tussauds , The London Eye, London Dungeon, London Aquarium, St Paul’s Cathedral, Kensington Palace, Tower of London and Ripleys are all available.
