Tip 1: Choose the Right Duration & Timing
One of the biggest mistakes people make when booking a hen party bus is choosing the wrong duration.
Recommended booking times:
- 2 hours: Ideal as a pre-party warm-up before dinner or clubbing
- 3 hours: The most popular option for balanced sightseeing and partying
- 4 hours: Best for a full hen party experience with multiple stops
Think about:
- When guests arrive in London
- Dinner or club reservations later in the evening
- Energy levels of the group
