Never a dull moment, with lots of special touches by our guide
Wonderful tour with excellent guide (CX5FA0KC on 8/15/26-- I can't recall the name-- Yaza?). He was excellent, telling great stories with humor and taking time to show us extras. We did the loop around Buckingham Palace, The Eye, a riverboat on the Thames, St. Peters, and the Tower of London, with a special meet and greet with a Yeoman. Best tour, well worth the money!

This is a great experience! The tour was a great way to see many different places. We only had one day.

A worthwhile experience
Buses were very frequent and at lots of locations. Easy process, just show pass on phone to board bus, drivers very pleasant and helpful. There are headphones available free on the bus to hear commentary as you travel but this was a bit hit and miss. We included the cruise which was very worthwhile. The map provided was good but it would be helpful to know in which direction buses travelled as this caused a bit of confusion! Overall a good experience which I would definitely use again.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the frequent buses, helpful drivers, and Thames cruise. We also appreciate your feedback about the commentary and bus directions, which we will share with the team. We are thrilled you would use the service again and look forward to welcoming you back to London!

Gtest london bus tour
We had a great time on the bus and the boat seeing lots of sights of london. The members of staff and bus drivers were helpful and friendly. We did have to get off one bus and wait for another as a driver was going for his break and waited slightly longer than advertised for an orange route bus but we really enjoyed our day overall.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that you had a great time exploring London by bus and boat and enjoyed seeing so many of the city's sights. It is wonderful to know that our staff and drivers were helpful and friendly. We are sorry that you experienced a longer wait than expected for the Orange Route and had to change buses while your driver took a break. We appreciate your patience and understanding. We are pleased that you still had an enjoyable day overall and hope to welcome you back on another Golden Tours experience soon.

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $107 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 Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8.8 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 Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 759 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 Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour?
+
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 Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour?
+
Around 266 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 8.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Total London Full Day Sightseeing Tour 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 Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. 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.
