Clean and tidy bus, great way to see London. There were headphones for information however we weren’t told where they were when we initially boarded the bus. This was a shame as we initially thought the headphones randomly placed and used by others were all we had and there weren’t enough for all of us. However we did see new ones at the front of the bus as we hopped off! It would’ve been beneficially to of have been told when boarding for the first time.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the clean and tidy bus and found it a great way to explore London’s landmarks. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the headphones, and we appreciate your helpful suggestion. We’ll certainly take this on board to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to welcome you again soon!
The bus tour was fun! It happened to ne a very hot day, but we got to see lots of neat things. The upper level if the bus was definitely the way to actually see things.

I loved the tour from booking until we finished it. I managed to change the date and enjoyed the explainations of the sites.
One of the guys who sells tickets near King's Cross approached to my sister near her face, we didn't want the tour, and the guy followed us and try to get more closer. Disgusting!!! Goldentours hires anybody without teach them how to deal with public on the street, just harrasers, they should learn to respect women.

Great bus tour of Central London with a live guide on Sunday. Thanks to the guide Emma for her upbeat and informative commentary. Golden tours phone app and organisation is exemplary. We couldn't travel at our booked time due to an issue at their end, but we were able to select a later slot very easily and the ticketing on the app was automatically updated.
