London's premier open-top sightseeing company The Original Tour are repeating their popular Winter offer - giving two days of sightseeing for the price of one! This offer completes a very special year of exceptional value from The Original Tour, having been one of the very few visitor attractions to freeze their 2012 prices.
For more than 60 years, The Original Tour has delighted visitors and Londoners alike with its open-top sightseeing bus tours of the capital's many and varied landmarks. The Original London Sightseeing Tour was the first sightseeing tour of its kind, and was formally introduced by London Transport as 'Service J' on 11th June 1951, when thousands of visitors descended on the capital for the Festival of Britain.
The Original Tour is the essential visitor experience and the iconic red buses are an unmistakable part of the London cityscape. In a city as spectacular and fast-paced as London, enjoying the view from an open-top bus is indeed the best way to get around.
Until 28 February 2013, all Original Tour tickets redeemed will be valid for 48 hours instead of 24, allowing visitors to make the most of every moment in London. With tickets including unlimited hop-on hop-off across three main sightseeing routes, three free walking tours and a free Thames River Cruise, there's never been a better time to offer your guests the ultimate ticket to London.

Editors notes:
The Original London Sightseeing Tour was the first - and today is also the largest - single sightseeing operation in the world. The history of the company can be traced back to the early 1900s, and London Transport formally introduced the tour for the 1951 Festival of Britain.
Today's hop-on hop-off tour of London allows customers to board at over 90 different stops, across three sightseeing routes. Buses run daily, with live commentary in English and a wide choice of digitally-recorded languages. A free river cruise pass and walking tours are included with every ticket and the Kids' Club provides an educational and fun alternative for 5-12 year olds.
