The Original London Sightseeing Tour Tickets

Overview

Founded over 65 years ago, the Original London Sightseeing Tour is the first and largest operator of its kind anywhere in the world. An essential introduction to the capital, you can see the very best of London with a perfect view from an open top double-decker bus. Tickets are open-dated rather than date specific and are valid for any single 24 hour duration. The 24 hour period starts when you join your first tour and includes:

- Live guides and digitally recorded commentary in eleven different languages
- The unique Kids' Club commentary channel for those under 16s plus free activity packs
- Complimentary Thames River Cruise
- Three free walking tours: Changing of the Guard, Jack the Ripper and Rock 'n' Roll

By providing a full hop-on, hop-off, service you can customise your own tour by hopping on and off the buses at over 80 stops on any of the six different tour routes. Remember that one ticket allows you to travel on all of these exciting tours and is valid for 24 hours (during operating hours).

Access
All buses are wheelchair-accessible. It may be easier for wheelchair users to board at the Victoria or Piccadilly Circus departure points as there are additional staff on hand to help.

Guide dogs and service dogs welcome on the buses.
