Golden Wedding treat!

As part of our Golden Wedding Anniversary trip to London my wife and I had a great day out on this trip. Staff were very nice, drinks and food very tasty and tour route included many interesting sights. Look forward to doing it again the next time we visit London.

My Great Tea Bus Experience

From beginning to end the tour was just amazing, fun and relaxing. The food and drink was nice, and the onboard staff were very attentive, fun and professional. Would definately recommend this tour to everyone. As a matter of fact, i'm going again this weekend

Poor experience

Extremely disappointing afternoon tea bus experience. The bus was not working properly, and we were left sitting on the bus for over an hour waiting for another bus to arrive. This completely disrupted the experience and meant we spent a significant amount of our booked time sitting stationary rather than actually enjoying afternoon tea while travelling around and seeing London. The delay also caused us to run late for the next activity we had planned, which was particularly frustrating as we had organised our day around the advertised duration of the experience. I appreciate that mechanical issues can happen, but the way this was handled meant we simply did not receive the experience we paid for. What should have been a relaxing afternoon exploring London with afternoon tea turned into a long and frustrating wait.

Yummy, excellent, totally worth it!

So worth it! Really fun activity with excellent food. Was happy to see savory sandwiches as well as sweet tea treats. Super clean bus and friendly staff. Booked to give husband's feet a rest and enjoyed this tour very much!
