5.00Thoroughly enjoyable experience, everything exceeded expectations. The environment, food and atmosphere were all top class. Driving around London gave a different perspective to visiting the capital meaning we saw things we'd never seen before, especially as we were on the top deck at the front. Our guide was Akshay who was very attentive and made the whole experience more enjoyable. I find it a struggle to think of anything they could improve and would recommend the experience to anyone.

4.00Booked this as a treat for family, booked the premium upper deck seats to ensure we got the front views. There were two teenage children with us and 2 adults. We also had the halal option. The kids had a separate menu to the adults, and would have preferred what we had. The chicken wraps had too much dressing/mayonnaise and had seeped through. Other than that it was an amazing experience, we all had a lovely time, soaking in the atmosphere, music, and the views. I made a couple of changes to the booking and the customer service team were very helpful and got us sorted. You also get a souvenir cup to take with you. It was a lovely family day out with some lovely staff. Me and sister returning at Christmas without the kids 😂
Great tour!

5.00Had a great experience on this tour! The food was very good, the service was great and the tour was nice. The ladies taking care of us were very attentive without being in our faces. They made sure we had everything we needed, offered to take pictures of us to commemorate our trip. Great experience overall!

5.00Our Golden tours afternoon tea tour was great from booking through to disembarking. They were very helpful and kept in touch before hand with details etc. Staff on board, Ivan & Ameen were lovely, nothing was too much trouble and they even sang happy birthday to my friend which made her day. The afternoon tea itself was divine, and we love our souvenir coffee/tea cups. All in all it was worth every penny.
