I was kindly invited to experience The Original Tours electric bus on its launch day in London. All thought and opinions are my own and I was not embursed for my review.
A very good and informative post.
I love several things about this – 1) it’s electric, which is awesome 2) you can get on and off 3) it includes the river and walking tours. Sounds like a great idea for tourists wanting to see London!
We need one of these in Leeds! Can’t believe they dropped the Tourist bus years ago and have never replaced it!
I love that electric buses are starting to become a bigger thing, it’s about time! Sounds like this is a great way to see the London sights, especially since you can jump on and off if something catches your attention.
When friends and family come to visit us here I always suggest they go on one of these.
I saw these buses the other week when I was in London, didn’t realise there was electric, how very cool. I will use them next time am in London.
This looks like a lot of fun. Love a good bus tour, as it is an easy way to zip around the city and see the sights xx
oh i love hop on hop off buses and going electric has to be the way ahead!
