Tick off all of London’s landmarks and see the city from a different perspective on an included Thames River cruise, currently operating Friday to Sunday only. Upgrade to The Big London Day Out option to get an aerial view of the city aboard the London Eye giant observation wheel.

What to Expect
Redeem your Bug Bus bus voucher at any of the stops along one of the comprehensive routes. Opt for seating on the open-air upper deck or covered lower deck, depending on the weather, and listen to live or recorded commentary depending on the route chosen.
Either stay on the bus for the entire loop of each route or disembark whenever an attraction captures your attention.

Your hop-on hop-off pass includes a short cruise along the River Thames, currently operating Friday to Sunday only. Upgrade to include a must-do London Eye Flight.
