FAQs

The panoramic bus tour lasts approximately 90 minutes.

Is the bus tour hop-on hop-off?

No. The night bus experience is a continuous, non-stop panoramic sightseeing tour.

Is top-deck seating included?

Yes. The night tour is offered exclusively with top-deck seating, so a place on the upper deck is guaranteed. Individual seats are still available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Is the Thames river cruise included?

Yes. The ticket also includes access to a hop-on hop-off sightseeing cruise on the River Thames.

Does the river cruise happen during the 90-minute bus tour?

No. The river cruise is a separate part of the sightseeing ticket rather than part of the 90-minute bus journey. The cruise must be taken before the night tour (on the same day).

Where can I join the Thames river cruise?

The supplier lists four participating piers: Westminster Pier, Tower Pier, Greenwich Pier and London Eye Pier.

Is this a good London gift experience?

It's a particularly good match for someone who enjoys sightseeing, city breaks and exploring. Combining an open-top evening tour with a Thames cruise gives the recipient more than one way to discover the capital.
