“I thought this was the on-off bus with a cruise option. NO. This was a boat ride only. We had a hard time figuring things out. We traveled to London for first time, had hard time figuring out how to find the pier. Asked for help many times. The information was very limited. It mentions 4 piers. By the time we figured it out, it was 5pm. We got to enjoy a nice ride and narrative. We discovered there are 5 different hop-on hop-off buses. There are a couple different hop-on cruise ships. Big city. Hard to learn in an hour or two, especially with no sleep.”

So, I paid again and then tried to use it in Westminster for the return leg and the ticket booth was closed so you were told to go to the agent at the station who said they couldn’t help.”
