    Would recommend

    I used the TOOTBus in London. I enjoyed the frequency of the buses and the fact that the audio guide was so informative about the relevant areas. My only complaint is that there was that the wifi on the buses was not functional and it would have been helpful to be advised of that at booking.

    Misinformation by guide on the street & bad info once on

    We asked the Tootbus guide at the convent garden stop if the next bus would go to the London eye, and about his long it would take (he said 30min). We didn’t want to ride more than an hour because we had a time commitment. This info was totally inaccurate …it didn’t go to the south bank at all so we were left on a bus confused as to when to get off it. We ended up taking an uber after realizing we were in wrong direction. There’s no info on the bus as to what stop is next (they announce when u are there but you’d have to scramble to get off in time). Why not show that on a screen? No good maps of route to easily access. Bus was dirty on second level & one of our sound buttons wasn’t working, stressful experience overall!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not entirely positive. We really do appreciate all customer feedback and will use it to continue improving our service for the future. We provide free paper maps with all the stops and postcodes and a small description of the location on board all the tours, we are sorry to hear that you did not pick one up when boarding. We do hope to welcome you on board in the future for a better experience. Tootbus London Team

    London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.

    How much does London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours cost?

    +

    Prices start at £30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.

    Is London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 57 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours?

    +

    Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does London Discovery by Day and by Night Hop-On Hop-off Tours start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in London?

    +

    London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour, Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit London?

    +

    May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in London?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
