The iconic London postcard image of a red double-decker bus traversing the city, packed with excited tourists taking endless selfies, might soon be replaced by another. At least, for ARISTOPETERS.
Because London has become the first city in the world to introduce a sightseeing bus for dogs. Or, in other words: the Tour Bus for Dogs. A bus decorated with fun canine illustrations that is now traversing the city, surprising locals, tourists, and onlookers. As you can imagine, the initiative has been applauded by dog and travel lovers alike. Because it offers a fun and inclusive experience, different from all others available not only in this city, but in most tourist destinations.
The dog-friendly tour bus route covers the most emblematic and well-known places in the British capital. Hyde Park, Green Park, and Kensington Gardens are some of the places visited. During the ninety-minute journey, stops are made so that the route is not too long for the dogs. Additionally, they are treated to a very appealing variety of snacks. And for the Aristoparents? Interesting facts and information about the canine world.
As for the schedule, there are three buses that depart from Millbank daily at 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 2:00 PM, so no one misses out on this fun experience. And the price? Surprisingly, this London tour is free. However, to get tickets correctly, you must request them through this website.
It's inevitable to wonder who is behind this initiative. Who thinks so much about dogs and their owners? Well, none other than an insurance company operating in the UK that has decided to promote its pet insurance in a different, notable, fun, and attractive way for everyone.
Because they have not only thought about those who want to discover the city from the comfortable seat of a bus, but also about those who prefer to do it on foot, or rather, on "paws." They have made an information center available, offering an alternative London guide to explore the city through various locations, bars, restaurants, and "dog-friendly" establishments.
So, if you're thinking of traveling to London with your ARISTODOG, nothing can stop you now. Thanks to this original sightseeing bus, you can enjoy the city like never before. And to whet your appetite, what better than a video:
Speaking of which, remember that if you're planning to travel soon, there are a few things you should consider before you leave. Primarily related to the documentation you need to carry (updated, of course). But it is also very important to choose the right airline to travel with your best friend (we are fans of Iberia, as you know) because they make us feel comfortable when traveling with our furry friend, they are a pet-friendly company. Additionally, it is advisable to try to bring a series of "lucky charms" with you (if they fit in your luggage), so that your dog feels as settled as possible (their favorite toy, their blanket...). In the "Travel" category of our blog, you will find all the information you need to enjoy a pleasant experience before, during, and after your trip.
