The bus ride was good so far. What we didn't like was that the audio guide kept stopping and missing out on so much interesting information. What could also be improved is that the "anecdotes" repeat you, for example if there is a longer route without any significant sights. With such a large and interesting city there should be so much more to say than repeating the tale of the lights and the fishmonger over and over again.

Great round trip on different routes (be careful when choosing the route, orange and red drive a large part of their routes the same route). Very extensive information about the city but unfortunately the sound quality was not the best and in several lines. The boat trip is just a one way ticket from the London Eye to Tower Bridge which may need to be factored into the itinerary you travel.
