The iconic London postcard image of the red double-decker bus traveling around the city, packed with excited tourists taking selfies nonstop... may soon be replaced by another. At least for ARISTOPETERS.
Because London has become the first city in the world to introduce a tourist bus for dogs. In other words: the Tour Bus for Dogs. A bus decorated with fun canine illustrations that is making its way around the city, surprising locals, tourists, and curious onlookers. As you can imagine, the initiative has won applause from dog and travel lovers. It offers a fun and inclusive experience, unlike anything else available not only in this city, but in most tourist destinations.
The dog-friendly sightseeing bus route passes through the British capital's most iconic and well-known landmarks. 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 does not become too tiring for the dogs. They are also treated to a tempting variety of snacks. And what about the aristoparents? Interesting facts and curiosities about the canine world.
As for the schedule, three buses leave from Millbank every day at 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00, so no one misses out on this fun experience. And the price? Surprisingly, this London tour is free. However, to obtain the tickets properly, you have to request them through this website.
It’s inevitable to wonder who is behind this initiative. Who thinks so carefully about dogs and their owners? None other than an insurance company operating in the United Kingdom, which has decided to promote its pet insurance in a different, striking, fun, and appealing way for everyone.
Because they haven’t only thought of those who want to discover the city from the comfortable seat of a bus, but also of those who prefer to do it on foot, or rather, on “paws.” They have set up an information center where they offer an alternative London guide, allowing you to discover the city through different locations, bars, restaurants, and “dog-friendly” establishments.
So if you’re thinking of traveling to London with your ARISTOPERRO, nothing is stopping you now. Thanks to this original sightseeing bus, you can enjoy the city as you’ve never seen it before. And to whet your appetite, what better than a video:
Speaking of this, remember that if you’re planning to travel soon, there are a number of things you should bear in mind before setting off. Mainly related to the documents you need to carry with you (obviously up to date). But it’s also very important to choose the right airline for traveling with your best friend (we’re fans of Iberia, as you know) because they make us feel comfortable when we travel with our furry friend; they’re a pet-friendly airline. It’s also advisable to try to bring a few “talismans” with you (if they fit in your luggage), so your dog can feel as settled as possible (their favorite toy, their little blanket…). In the “Travel” category of our blog, you’ll find all the information you need to enjoy a pleasant experience before, during, and after your trip.
