This is a great, economical way to site-see London especially when it’s crowded and you’re traveling with family to London for the first time. We saw all of the famous spots on the red line tour. Our guide was friendly, funny and informative.

It's a great idea, but needs to run later, it s too expensive you can use the tube and get around justas good and even better and it will be cheaper and won't need to wait as long at stops, I have used many o the ones but the London one was no good like a said to expensive

Bus drivers didn't recognize Viator ticket and kept telling us to go to another bus. Waited 40 min for bus on Red Line.
