Please note, however, that wheelchair users have preference. If a wheelchair user wishes to board the vehicle, you will be required to remove the pram.

Our buses do not have areas for the storage of luggage so you can only travel with hand luggage which you can carry and which do not occupy any extra seats, aisles, emergency exits or the area reserved for persons with reduced mobility. Unfortunately it is not possible to travel with large items of luggage or suitcases.

In case a customer leaves any of their belongings on one of our buses and our staff finds it, the driver will take the items to Stop 1 located at Belvedere Road where the lost items remain until the end of the day. Unclaimed items are taken to the London City Tour head office located at 120 Southampton Row. For all other inquiries, please contact us at incoming@julia.net  or consult our team on buses.

Unfortunately it’s only possible to travel if you have a valid ticket. We cannot replace or exchange tickets which have been lost or stolen. Unfortunately we cannot accept any other proof of purchase or vouchers which have already been used.

It is the passenger’s responsibility to ensure that they have been given a ticket when entering the bus or to mention it to staff on the vehicle when purchasing the ticket.
