Take the big Bus tour, orginal runs fewer busses and they will stop 15 to 30 minutes. But the london eye we waited 25 min for a bus. There were 4 big bus that stopped during our wait. Not fun.

All of the bus tours can be poor if used for site-to-site transport because of the lack of frequency to start with and that they get snarled up in traffic. Use regular buses, tubes etc for that.

I never take hoho buses for that very reason. Sometimes the drivers take their break and you have to wait around for 20-30 minutes. I find that the audio tours are often incredibly awful and even incorrect sometimes, and traffic can make them an extremely slow option for what would otherwise be a quick tube journey or even a walk!

It all depends on location. The HOHO in Bath worked very nicely for both the City and the surroundings.
