Well worth while - We chose this as it was something different that we haven’t done before. The ladies were absolutely brilliant. Food was good and my allergy was catered for. Unfortunately there were unforeseen circumstances that made the tour a bit boring (route changes not due the company). The driver did his best.

Just ok - Wouldn’t recommend. Based on difficult to understand tour guide, day old pastries and not a great value. Servers were pleasant.

Okay but wouldn’t do it again - The tour was scheduled for 11:30 but I got moved to 12:15 without any notice or email. Staff were friendly and the views were nice. The food was simple as you may expect. The bus driver sounded like he may have been giving good info and commentary Howe we could not hear him over the loud music playing the entire time. Was a nice way to see the city but perhaps not good value for money. The souvenir was a very cute idea.

Sounds good on paper - I booked this experience for my mums birthday present. I paid for the premium upper deck so we were sat at the very front of the top part of the bus. We both love seeing the sights and taking pictures so I thought it would be well worth paying that extra £10 each for the luxury… Well, it wasn’t. The front window was all scratched up, which surprised me considering you’d think they would have kept something like that in good condition. There was bird poo marks dotted all over the window too, again surprising, I’d have thought it would have been cleaned? It meant every photo we took ended up with smudges and marks, and trying to zoom in, all it focused on was the scratches so it was pointless me paying for that extra luxury. Quite disappointing. The afternoon tea itself was ok, nothing really had any flavour, either the sandwiches or the cakes. I was hoping the scones would have been homemade but I’m pretty sure they weren’t. Everything was all rather tiny or maybe I’m just a bit of a pig. I’ll let you decide from the picture. You get a cold and a hot drink but if you’re like me and only drink cold, you only get 1 cold drink. There wasn’t an option to pay for another drink so keep that in mind as it’s a 90 minute tour. Your hot drink is given to you in your free takeaway travel cup which is quite cute as a little souvenir of the day. My mum was quite happy with that. When I booked this I was fully aware there was no commentary but I know London well anyway so we were happy seeing things without the hustle and bustle of people getting in the way. With it being a BUS, yes the seating is small, the same you would get on any normal bus so bare that in mind. Over all I found the experience quite underwhelming and for the price, it’s not something I would recommend to others.
