Perfect afternoon. The team was super energetic to get the tour kicked off and fun. They celebrated birthdays and events with a song and dance. Some of the other reviews commented on the music choice, but we loved it and sang along to many songs. Food was a little bland, but overall very well done for a restaurant on wheels.

I think you could have a better tea experience somewhere else and take another tour.

Roberta_G, Apr 2024

The good was only ok, and the staff didn’t provide any comments about where the bus was passing. The music played during the tour was light rock and roll, which ordinarily I do enjoy, but expected light relaxing music.

Lovely way to see the town!

Susan_A, Apr 2024

Lovely way to see the town (no commentary on locations though). Staff were wonderful. Food was good. Says soft drinks were available but that only meant orange juice or water (as a non-drinker a pop would have been preferred). Takeaway boxes should have been provided for leftovers. Lovely tea cup was a nice souvenir. Great music played on board. Good fun!

Tea on the go

Corina_B, Apr 2024

We really enjoyed the fun atmosphere. It was a fun twist on a double decker tour of London. Good music, good cream tea and helpful staff.

Fun time but a tight fit

kimskah, Apr 2024

The tea bus is a lovely time, the sandwiches and pastry are delicious, the hosts are fun. My only negative is that it is a tight fit, and there is nowhere to place your belongings. Do highly recommend, just don’t take many things with you.

Needs a tour guide!

Missy_F, Apr 2024

It would have been wonderful if there had been a guide telling you what you were looking at. It was a sightseeing tour but no one told you what the sights were or even gave you a map, disappointing!

Super fun

heidi_g, Apr 2024

Nice, relaxnig time.

Adam_W, Apr 2024

Tour is fun and relaxing. The drinks and food served are great. You do not get any narration of what you are seeig, but you can still just sit back and relax - especially if you have been already touring and walking a lot.

Fabulous Outing

Barbara_V, Mar 2024

It was very good but I think the occasional commentary would help as if someone has never been to London before they’d have no clue of what’s what. Waitresses were very polite & service was excellent.

A fabulous afternoon

Peter_R, Jan 2024

Took our dad as part of his 90th birthday celebration weekend in London and this was amazing. The girls that served the afternoon tea were fabulous and made the afternoon. The only thing that was lacking was a bit of commentary on the sights.

Really cute but a little disappointing.

Stephanie_M, Jan 2024

Being our first trip to London, we thought this sounded like an amazing way to get a quick view of the city. It was fun BUT, I expected some commentary. At least telling us what we were driving by. Also pictures were tough because the windows were so dirty. It was cute but I wouldn’t suggest it to a first timer.

Enjoyable but was lost getting there

Robert_M, Jan 2024

My wife and I had a very enjoyable time. The only challenge we had is getting good directions to the start point.

Almost everything was...

Ulrika_K, Jan 2024

Almost everything was good but we have a suggestion for improvement. There should be a guide telling us what we see. Skip the music and tell us where we are and what we see instead.

Not goid experience unfortunately

Dagmar_K, Jan 2024

I had great expectations but then very disappointed The ckes very small and qualitt not top Terribly loud music so communication was not posdible abd noone explains at leadt some buildings or places It is not worth the moneuy and i ammfrequently going to atteactions like this- there are better things to spend your money on Dagmar

Do not waste your money or time

Anonymous, Dec 2023

Do not waste your money. It sounds cute but you will be better off spending your money at an elegant afternoon tea. The food was awful, service to be desired, and started about 40 mins late. The only good part was seeing the sights but could have done that on a city bus.

I liked the bus ride but...

Heather_D, Dec 2023

I liked the bus ride but the sandwiches were stale the scones were the best the tea and wine was good and the bus was toooo hot.

Fun thing to do once

Sally_W, Dec 2023

Fun thing to do once The route could be improved/driver doesn’t do commentary where you are etc. if you know London it’s ok but visitors that don’t probably would be disappointed. Food was ok Music good Staff very friendly

Sightseeing with Afternoon Tea

Marie_G, Dec 2023

Waitresses were great, lovely food. A relaxing way to sightsee with a glass of prosecco. Would highly recommend

Fin and nice experience

Susanne_M, Dec 2023

The staff received us in a wonderful way and this continued throughout the trip. Everything tasted good and we got to see London in a nice and fun way. Many thanks to Aurora and all of you. Greetings from Susanne's gang from Lagos🇵🇹🤩🥂 I can highly recommend this experience.

A new way to see London

MoeTom_S, Nov 2023

Great way to see the sights while we enjoyed an afternoon tea. After an easy pick up, we were off enjoying a glass of Prosecco and seeing London.

Ann_P, Oct 2023
