Liverpool 24-hour hop-on hop-off bus with Beatles stops, live English commentary, pick-your-deck views, and a free bubbly glass.
“We were disappointed the stop locations were difficult to find and the buses were far apart. Also the last bus left at 4:00 PM. We were hoping they were going to run later.”

Hop-on hop-off London bus with live tracking and audio, plus Thames cruise and optional extras. Handy for first-time London planning.
“I had trouble finding the pick up location. I asked a couple people and the second person sent me to the City Sightseeing office. A manager just happened to be there and he hailed down a bus for me. Once I was on the bus it was great. The sun goes down early in November and part of my ride was in the dark. Two days later I bought another ticket and went for another ride. Great!”

We alighted at Ann Hathaway's cottage and had a lovely time looking round. This is something we wouldn't have been able to do if we hadn't used the bus. There was a commentary to listen to on the bus so we could hear some of the history & about places in Stratford on Avon. We also saw some of the lovely countryside even though it was raining.
