As well as great sightings and delicious bites, you’ll feel spoilt by our welcoming staff.

An essential addition to any visit to London and set in the heart of the city, Westminster Abbey is legendary and iconic.

The cakes were so small …… 1 bite and it was gone sandwiches not great was suppose to get a glass of Prosecco so you would assume it would be a full glass but it was with Orange Juice I did say about it but it was brushed aside .

The food was pleasant as was the tea and Prosecco.
We sat top deck front with very little space.
It was an interesting drive with lots of interesting places on route.

Ola and Raja did their best but their English language was quite limiting.

Overall for £62,50 pp I expected much better.

"Tour" is misleading. It's more like a bachelorette party on wheels - alcohol, loud music, and expensive looking but questionable tasting snacks.

I knew there was no live guide commentary, however the staff didn't point anything out that we passed. Even if they had, the bus was going so quickly you wouldn't have been able to enjoy it anyway. I paid to sit solo in the front seat and I'm not sure how two people would've fit, tight quarters. And the windows were dirty too so there's spots all over my pictures, but that's par for the course I suppose!

The best part of the whole trip was the prosecco and the bite-size sweets, scone and finger sandwiches were not pleasurable. Unfortunately the souvenir cup is quite cheap and not durable, so I may get a few uses out of it before it has to be tossed.

For the $78 USD that I spent, I could've put it to better use on another experience, for sure.

I love afternoon tea and visit London a lot, so after being gifted this experience we were looking forward to seeing London in a different way.
As others say, the bus stop is hard to find at the back of Victoria Station, down a sode road so leave time for this.
We were a couple, seated with another couple. They were nice and chatty but it all felt very squished in, without much room.
We were served a nice glass of prosecco to get started.
Lucky for us, we know a lot of the sights in London but I felt for those who wanted to benefit from the "tour" element as it was virtually non-existent. We passed a lot of landmarks and I think the hostess commented on maybe 4 of them. These were minimum comments too e.g. "Buckingham Palace is there". They pointed out the Royal Courts too - maybe a line or two about what cases they hear might help tourists.
The afternoon tea was OK. Nothing special at all. Tea was served in a takeaway momento cup too.
Would I recommend? no? If you want afternoon tea, go elsewhere. If you want a tour of London try the other amazing tours on offer.
