    • The pass gets you a Thames cruise from Westminster or Tower Piers. Also, opt for a night tour through London's top sights.

    • Ride on an open-top double-decker while an 11-language audio guide dishes out London’s best stories. Keep the kids entertained with audio commentary on board.

    The on board info and the routes were spot on. What didn't work well was conflicting info regarding bus arrival times from different members of staff as well as our bus driver not stopping at red route stop 11 so we could swop to the green route, and when confronted denied that he had missed the stop. Otherwise a great day

    Everything went smoothly. Great experiences... It would have been even easier if the description of the hop-on hop-off bus and the Thames cruise had included the name of the bus or boat.

    We had a great time and loved the flexibility of the HOHO bus. We purchased a multi day pass to get the night tour?(which we loved), and ended up using it to get around almost as often as the regular bus lines!
