I have been on two Golden tours routemaster trips this summer. One with family and one with a visitor from Australia. It's a nice easy tour, just over an hour, taking in lots of historical landmarks and famous bridges. We sat upstairs on both occasions and the seats gave an uninterrupted view of London. The guides give you a running commentary on points of interest along the way. We came via Westminster tube, crossed over the bridge and turned left, passing the London Eye. The bus stop pick up point was located on the other side of the little park. Easy to find. Would recommend to all.
Thank you for your wonderful and detailed feedback. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed both of your Routemaster tours and that they were a great way to see London's landmarks and famous bridges. It is lovely to know that you enjoyed the views from upstairs and found the guides' commentary interesting and informative. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you and your family back again soon.
We had a great trip on the 31st July, Andy the guide was amazing! He kept us entertained throughout and his knowledge of the City was fantastic, he interacted with everybody that boarded. I was with my daughter, who also had a great time. I would recommend this tour to everyone. Very surreal being on Routemaster without its classic engine, I hope this can be expanded.

Fantastic for all the family. Graham our tour guide was excellent. Super friendly and entertaining.... even offered us donuts at the end! Booked for 6 of us and a little one- it was almost like a private tour! Perfect timing, family friendly, ticked off the main sights without it being too long. Highly recommend.

An iconic routemaster with an electric upgrade - what could be better? Our guide was knowledgable and witty - as a Londoner I still leant a few things. This is a must-do experience!

A very complete cruise thru the main city. I wish all drivers were as great as Jeevan who was particularly helpful, but all were courteous and good. Learn the app and it becomes very helpful.
