About Our Buses: Double-decker buses are taller than other buses. They are extensively used in the United Kingdom, where perhaps the most famous is the Routemaster used in London since 1954, which is now being phased out (as of 2005). Most of the buses in Hong Kong and about half in Singapore are double-deckers as well. A few are also used as tour buses, especially in New York and Paris and now San Francisco.

Our double-decker buses have an open upper deck, with no roof and shallow sides. These are very popular for sightseeing tours of cities such as San Francisco. Book a Double Decker Tour and climb up and back into history.
