It would’ve been a great tour if we were able to hear the announcer/tour guide but there were tables that weren’t paying attention and were having their own conversations through the whole tour so we missed a lot of what was being said. The food was very mid and not very good. Tea was great but that’s hard to measure up.

Excellent 👍 time! Freshly baked and served afternoon tea time. Unlimited drinks for all the time during the journey. Guide and places driving are true, accurate and make the story. Recommended if you are hungry in a hurry and want to have traditional English afternoon tea and need tour around central London. Two things in one go saves your limited time!

My friend and I had a great time on the Great British Afternoon Tea Bus Tour. The cool vintage Routemaster double-decker from the 1960s set the tone for the whole experience.
Sitting at the front of the bus on the upper deck, we had a good view and a more immersive experience.
It was terrific to see the sights of London, ride a double-decker bus and enjoy a classic British tradition of afternoon tea all at the same time! They had a wide selection of top-quality (refillable) teas to choose from, served with delicious finger sandwiches, sausage rolls, cakes, pastries and freshly baked scones with jam and clotted cream.
The 90-minute bus ride took us through the heart of London, passing by many of the city’s most famous landmarks, including St. Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, and more. But with all the delicious food in front of us, it was hard to focus on the sights!
Although the staff (who were attentive and very helpful) pointed out some interesting things along the way, there wasn’t a full narration on the bus. This experience is more about enjoying the tea, scones, and scenic views, but I think it’s definitely worth it!

The high tea was amazing. The best lemon cake I've eve had. The crew did a fantastic job of looking after my needs. It's a great way to see London
