Brilliant! Booked for a 4 year olds birthday treat who is obsessed with London and wanted to see the sites and with the weather warnings in place we didn’t want to walk her around too much. This was brilliant for her (possibly better for slightly older children) but she didn’t complain once going around which is a miracle in itself. A bit too hot for her towards the end so she went and sat downstairs which was a great option to have available as well. The guide was fantastic and really engaging with the children and adults and gave some brilliant facts as well. Would definitely recommend and probably do again once she’s slightly older!

I took our kids (6 & 8 year olds) on the tootbus kids tour. Having a live guide made all the difference to making this open top bus experience interesting and interactive for children. Our guide was a gentleman called Mark. He was amazing with the way he shared so much information, in such a fun manner. I wished he had a qr code or a way to accept appreciation, since we were not carrying cash that day. The pickup point is poorly marked, so finding it should be done well before the time of the tour. Our tour was not crowded, so we got to pick seats we liked. Overall a lovely introduction to London for kids.

The actual experience was great. The tour guide was knowledgeable and funny and made it informative for the adults and child in our group. The lost star was for the directions to catch the bus - which were almost non existent! Just a street name and not accurate pinpoint or address. Luckily we were early and had time to speak to 2 different people on the helpline to help us actually find where we were meant to be waiting (outside the side entrance to Her Majesty's Theatre). The bus stop had no sign or anything indicating it was the correct place to stand. This would have been very stressful if we were running later than we were or didn't speak English. Need to do better!

A fantastic tour. Our tour guide, Trevelyan, struck the perfect tone - welcoming, great with kids, good humour, and also informative.

We were 2 adults travelling with 10 and 13 year olds. We all found the tour very interesting and it was just the right length of time. The tour guide was excellent, giving detailed accounts of everything but he was also concise. To quote the girls, “it was really interesting and not boring”. I would highly recommend the tour. Finally, it was so much nicer having a real person as a guide, rather than listening on headsets. Well done all at TootBus!

The kids' tour is not worth it for children who do not speak English. The translation via headphones on board does not work. The explanatory texts were in a childish tone, but were hardly distinguishable from explanations for adults in content. Friendly driver, therefore not just 1 star. Furthermore, the booked time is not listed on the voucher. Support practically does not exist. You end up going in circles with some bots that keep asking the same thing. We had much better experiences with the regular hop-on hop-off buses (Big Bus Tour). The texts were also entertaining for 10-year-olds, and the value for money is significantly better.
Thank you so much for your review. I'm sorry to hear that your experience of the Kids Tour was not entirely positive. The Kids Tour is Live guided in English as advertised. We really appreciate all customer feedback and will use it to continue improving our service. Tootbus London Team
Excellent tour for little ones 45 minutes was perfect for my grandsons ages 2 and 4. They thoroughly enjoyed the ride and sights. The guide was great and really friendly.

We're so happy that we could provide you with a memorable bus tour experience. 🚌 And delighted that your grandsons thoroughly enjoyed the ride and sights! Thank you for choosing us, and we can't wait to have you on board again! Tootbus London Team
Excellent fun! Kids loved it. For me, would have enjoyed a longer tour than 45 minutes. However, for them it was about right. Our tour guide Kim was very entertaining. Bus driver and staff all very friendly. What could be improved? Perhaps email communications beforehand could include a reminder on time and meeting point. I couldn't remember so had to spend a bit of time searching on the app. Minor detail. Overall the tour was great. Highly recommended!
