"Original" or "Big Bus"
 
Does anyone know which of these hop-on-off buses do a better job of touring London?

I just got back from London.I took the "Original" tour and thought it was great. Can't speak for the Big Bus. Both seemed to have plenty of buses so catching one shouldn't involve too long a wait

six of one. half a dozen of the other. Both companies have some buses w/ live comentary and some with recorded. Both take almost the exact same routes (since they use the same bus stops most places.<BR><BR>And a secret -- neither has an absolutely "set price". Since at most stops they are in direct competition, the hawkers will often haggle to get you on their buses.

Took the Big Bus tour when I was in London, and it included a Thames River cruise. I'm not familiar with the Original.
