London Bus Tour

Where can I buy tickets? how much are they?

Have searched the net and there are so many companies advertising I do not know which one is the "Official" tour bus :confused: Also taking kids and a cousin who is on vacation so would like the tour to be informative and interesting for them.

Any help is appreciated :beer:

    £22 an adult and £10 a child if you book online. I read a thread on here the other day that there is another 'normal' bus that does pretty much the same route, someone else might know about that?

    Hi,
    just returned from London last week and paid £25 per adult and £10 per child for a tour.Follow link below and you can save by pre-booking.
    Gives you 24 hours hop on and off and free river cruise.
    Well worth it:

    for example a number 15 bus does Regent Street/Oxford Street ,Trafalgar square , The Strand , Fleet Street , St Pauls , Monument and Tower of London

    off peak travel cards £5.60 for Adults, Up to four children pay £1 each where accompanied by any adult-rate valid Travelcard holder (Can be used from 09:30 Monday to Friday or all day Saturday, Sunday and public holidays on the day of validity)

    Travelcards are valid for travel on:

    You should go on the DLR if you have a travelcard. It's like being on a rollercoaster in the middle of Canary Wharf! I always enjoy it and I'm old :D
