Tootbus Active Deals, Sales & Codes in June, 2026

Tootbus is a hop-on-hop-off sightseeing operator running open-top bus tours across several of Europe’s most visited cities, including London, Paris, Brussels, Barcelona, Bath, and the Tuscany region. A subsidiary of RATP Dev — the international arm of the Paris-based RATP Group — Tootbus rebranded from its earlier identity as The Original Tour, bringing decades of heritage in city tourism to a modern fleet.

The core product is a time-limited pass: buy a 24, 48, or 72-hour ticket and jump on and off any bus on the route as often as you like within that window. London passes bundle extras — a Thames river cruise and a guided walking tour come included, which can represent decent value if you were planning those separately. Tootbus also sells standalone attraction tickets to sites such as the Tower of London and Kensington Palace, often at a discount to gate prices.

Every bus in the fleet is a clean-air vehicle — electric or hybrid — with free WiFi and multilingual audio commentary. A dedicated family tour in London, led by a live guide, runs a shorter 45-minute loop aimed at younger children. Tickets remain valid for six months from purchase, so there’s no pressure to travel immediately, and the Tootbus app lets you buy passes, track buses in real time, and access audio guides without a paper voucher.

Between the bundled extras, the generous validity window, and the deals listed below, there’s real scope to cut the cost of a city break.

Which ticket length should I pick — 24, 48, or 72 hours?

The 24-hour pass suits a flying visit or a first-timer wanting an overview. But if you’re planning to hop off and explore — which is rather the point — the 48-hour ticket is the sweet spot. The river cruise and walking tour come with London passes regardless of duration, and the per-hour cost drops noticeably on longer options. The 72-hour pass only makes sense with a genuinely leisurely itinerary; most people find 48 hours plenty.

Is it cheaper to book in advance or on the day?

Booking online through www.tootbus.com is almost always cheaper than buying on the bus or at a street kiosk. The deals on this page stack on top of the standard web discount, so you can save up to 40% on London tours by locking in early. Last-minute walk-up prices tend to be full fare with no online discount applied.

What’s the best way to combine a bus tour with attraction visits?

Buy your attraction tickets through Tootbus rather than at the gate — they’re typically priced below the walk-up rate, and you avoid queuing at the ticket office. If you’re doing two or more attractions plus the bus tour, a 48-hour pass gives you breathing room to fit everything in without rushing between stops.

Are there any catches with the six-month validity?

The six-month window is generous — you buy now, activate when you first board, and the clock starts then. The caveat is pricing: if Tootbus raises walk-up rates before you travel, you’re locked in at the old price, which works in your favour. But if they run a bigger sale closer to your date, you can’t retrospectively claim that discount on an existing ticket.
