“Very convenient and excellent narration of London history. We rode the blue and red lines with timely connections. Only mix up came at the end when we couldn't tell if we'd missed our last bus (app didn't update). We then used public transportation to get back to our hotel easily. We'd definitely do it again.”

“We chose a terrible night to do this tour. It was freezing cold and rainy which, of course, was outside of the tour companies control. What they could control, they did amazing! Our tour guide Steve had the odds stacked against him but he did such a good job! He still brought the energy and excitement and did his very best! This tour is a great way to quickly see the city on limited time.”
Review the London Afternoon Tea Bus: sightseeing, sandwiches, scones, practical tips, landmark views, value, and what to expect.
“We had a mix of regular, vegetarian, and gluten free options and all were good. The people were all nice, hearing the historical bits was a bit brief and if you were sitting facing the back it was quite a feat to turn to see what they had mentioned because the seats are very close together. Had coffee and hot chocolate which was good. It would be so nice if the bus driver would have given the tour as he drove. And add additional historical bits too.”
