About TootBus

TootBus is a fun, fuss-free way to see London’s top sights without the sore feet. With hop-on hop-off stops, kid-friendly audio guides and open-top views, it’s perfect for families. Skip the Tube, enjoy the ride, and explore at your own pace—ideal for curious kids and tired legs.

Top tip from the KidRated team:

Grab seats upstairs near the front for the best views – and bring hats or raincoats, because London weather doesn’t care that you’re sightseeing.

Quick Inspiration

Is it good for a multi-generational trip?

Totally. Grandparents love the relaxed pace and iconic sights, kids love the open-top ride and fun facts, and parents love not having to carry anyone or navigate the Tube. It’s easy to hop off for ice creams or loos, and there’s no rush – just good views and quality family time with commentary.

Are there family tickets or discounts on TootBus?

Yes. TootBus offers family passes and online deals. Booking in advance usually saves a few quid, and kids under 5 often ride free.

Is there a children’s version of the audio guide?

There is. It’s fun, engaging, and packed with interesting (and occasionally silly) facts to keep kids listening and learning without realising.

Where can we get on and off a TootBus?

There are stops all over central London – near Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Covent Garden and more. Use the app or map to plan your day.

What’s the best TootBus route or area to start?

Start at Green Park or Piccadilly Circus – both are well-connected and give you great views straight away. Or begin wherever you’re closest to!

How long does a full loop take?

Roughly 2 hours without hopping off, but we recommend jumping off for snacks, loos, or attractions along the way. It’s sightseeing, not a sprint.

Are there toilets onboard?

No, but there are loos near many of the stops (e.g. Covent Garden, Trafalgar Square, South Bank). Plan ahead if you’ve got small bladders on board.

Can we bring food or snacks on the bus?

Yes, snacks are welcome (just no big picnics). Bring water, crisps, or sweets to keep kids going between stops.

Is TootBus buggy and wheelchair friendly?

Yes, low-level access at most stops and space for buggies or wheelchairs on board. Staff are helpful and know the drill.

Is it all open-air – and what if it rains?

There’s seating downstairs if the heavens open, but open-top is the fun bit, so dress for the weather and maybe bring a poncho just in case.
