Any group going to London has conflicting goals: Someone wants to haunt the royal spots like Buckingham Palace and watch the Changing of the Guard, another wants to hang out with wax figures at Madame Tussauds and another group member really wants to get arty at the Tate Gallery. How can you satisfy the tastes of everybody?
One way to help everybody have a good time is to spend the first day on a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus. You know, the colorful double-decker buses. For a fixed price the bus will take you around a circuit of famous spots. You can get off the bus whenever you like and get back on after you’ve had a look around, or you can sit on a full circuit. The tour guides provide commentary along the way, not just facts about the route’s special stops, but insider information on other parts of London that you’re passing by.
