Embark on the ultimate London adventure with our 48-hour Explore Ticket, which includes hop-on, hop-off sightseeing on our open-top buses, our Big Bus Walking Tours and Night Tour, and a City Cruises river cruise along the Thames.

Hop-on, Hop-off

Our hop-on, hop-off bus tours give you the freedom to plan your own sightseeing - explore London’s landmarks for as little or as long as you like. Hop off the tour as much as you want within the validity period of your ticket, and simply hop back on when you're ready. If you purchase a ticket that offers validity for more than 1 day, you must travel on consecutive days.

See all the top Landmarks

Our Big Bus tour of London has been carefully designed to show you all of the top London tourist attractions, including Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the London Eye.
Evening Tour

Our panoramic London Evening Tour showcases the city's famous landmarks and monuments as they're illuminated in the evening. Need-to-know: Hop on at the London Eye (Stop 11) at 19:30. The full tour circuit is 2 hours. Please note that the Evening Tour is not a hop-on, hop-off tour. Your Evening Tour ticket must be redeemed within the period of validity of your ticket – it cannot be used after your ticket has expired.

Thames River Cruise

Take to the water with a one-way river cruise, operated by our partner City Cruises. The cruise gives you a fantastic opportunity to see the city from a different angle on the River Thames, with fascinating live commentary offered in English. 

Big Bus Walking Tours

Our walking tours, led by one of our expert Big Bus tour guides, give you access to areas that you can’t visit by bus, while our guides reveal historical facts and fascinating stories about famous London buildings and cultural institutions.
