We had the best experience on the afternoon tea bus. I am gluten free and the options were fab. I had exactly the same choice as my mum and the food was lovely. The decorations on the bus were really lovely too. Abbie was our guide and she was lovely. Took our photos. Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone that wants a different take on seeing the sights of London

Music far too loud and quite unnecessary. Gentle background music would have sufficed. Had I wanted loud pop music, I would have chosen a themed tour. Commentary was very limited and often the sites being described were barely visible, very distant or even obscured. The tour hostess spoke far too quickly and not always sufficient coherent, even for a native English speaker to understand. The food was enjoyable.
Nice

Bus overbooked and refused boarding at the last minute

The bus was 30mins late and overbooked and they told us (including everyone else) just before boarding that we cannot go on it as it was full. They were apparently expecting a second bus which was broken down. We were offered a refund after travelling to London and waiting for an hour to board the bus. The other option would be to wait 2 hours for the next one. We booked the tickets months in advance for our daughter's birthday only to be told at the last minute that we cannot go on the bus. It's absolutely shocking how unprofessional this company is. Don't make the mistake of booking with them.
