This was perhaps the best dining experience I had while in London and was everything it described and more. The crew on board were amazing and conversed with everyone and made the experience incredible. The food was absolutely phenomenal and the views from the bus unbeatable with a great music selection playing in the background. Will definitely be doing this tour in other cities.

    Itinerary

    In the early evening, board your bus at the conveniently located meeting point along the Victoria Embankment. You'll take your seats at a dining table ready for your 6-course gourmet experience. If you’ve pre-selected the wine pairing, you’ll also enjoy drinks throughout your feast.

    Over the next couple hours, savor a series of delicious dishes. As you go, pass by top London landmarks, ranging from The Shard and the Tower of London to the London Eye, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and Trafalgar Square.

    With the on-board audio commentary, you'll learn insider facts and stories about the sights, and can admire them all lit up after dark.

    At the end of your feast—and once you've admired most of the city's top landmarks—return to your original departure point, where the tour ends.

    Best experience

    Paul_D, Mar 2026
    It’s was so amazing. Staff were awesome and friendly. Great dining experience in a moving bus with amazing night view of London.Definitely recommend.

    A night on the town

    Darlene_E, Jan 2026
    There is no tour guide explaining what you see. A few warnings when approaching major attractions….Big Ben, Tge Tower of London, the bridges…etc.

    The people were fantastic...

    Martyn_F, Oct 2025
    The people were fantastic but the food was average with average heat. I know it is logistically difficult to pull off a dinner on a bus, I would say, simplify the menus.

    Luxury Dinner

    Great Food and a wonderful experience. Both the Chef and the waiter were very very friendly. Very comfortable Bus

    Great food and service with no real tour

    Sarah_B, Aug 2025
    The service and the food were amazing. Francisco did an outstanding job. Since it was a tour that stated there was an audio guide, that’s what we had expected. There was a website that was offered on a QR code that you had to open on your own device and it was just a map with dots of locations we would pass. So basically you eat a nice meal on a vehicle with a window top while driving around. No details and no audio tour. You could eat more comfortable in a nice restaurant. It also said there was air conditioned and it didn’t feel like it was on.

    Great food and great...

    Diana_D, Jul 2025

    Excellent dining...

    Kenneth_A, Jun 2025
    Excellent dining experience! We enjoyed each course, and the wine was well paired. Good views of each site. Bring wireless ear buds. The “tour guide” is a recording at each landmark.

    Great way to see the city

    Patrik_T, Mar 2025
    Was a great evening to spend in London by eating and sightseeing the city. Very special thanks for Yuvi, he took care every single person on the bus, and had a little chat with everyone. To be honest his presence made this experience unforgettable.

    Awesome Tour

    Rebecca_G, Nov 2024
    Ryan and Jackson were awesome! If the window fogged over, they were there to help clear it. They cared about the temperature of the food and the presentation. The food was great considering you are on a moving kitchen. Expected less to be honest because I can't imagine how difficult it is to prepare food in such a manor. Sites were great. Had a lot of room and a fabulous time. Wine was good too. Highly suggest doing this!

    Top 5 reasons NOT to do this tour

    Deanna_K, Sep 2024
    This was definitely an over promise, under deliver type of experience for me. Here are the top 5 reasons you should not do it 1) the “tour” part is an audio recording that does not audibly tell you when you are close to something. You have to watch your phone for the blue dot (if you can even get it to work on your phone). Awful - missed almost everything 2) the food was not good. Tuna tartare was room temp and mushy. Steak was hard to cut and chew. 3) the bus steamed up inside so you couldn’t see out the windows or take good pics 4) even if you wiped down the windows, there was such a reflection (dark outside the bus and light inside) that all you could see in picture was what was inside the bus superimposed on any sights. I deleted all my pics 5) the wine pairing was delicious but the serving size was small (champagne was a third of a glass). Probably more cost effective to just pay for drinks a la carte The only good thing about this was the staff. They were great. Went above and beyond to make a terrible trip into a bearable trip

    Great!!

    Andrea_N, Aug 2024
    The highlight of our girls London trip! Food was amazing! Fun staff! Great to see London by night! Highly recommend

    What a great way to dine in London!

    Helen_P, Jul 2024
    The set up was great: great staff, ambiance, bus route and the food / drink selection. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining. The bus tour took us to the main spots in London, so we had the best vantage point to take great pictures. The glass roof top of the bus was brilliant for taking pictures - I was very surprised how good they turned out. The bus must have been very impressive from outside as well, as we noticed many tourists taking pictures of our bus. It was a great experience, and we'll do it again!

    , recommend for early in your stay

    Robyn_G, Jul 2024
    Great food! And great views! We did this trip after a 11 hour flight (and prob 2 hour nap). We wanted food and to see some sights but were exhausted. This tour was just what we needed. We ate, saw highlights of the city and relaxed! It was great! It gave us a good orientation to London!

    A must if visiting london

    Gerardo_S, Jun 2024
    This was such an enjoyable and fun experience I got to have with my husband. The food and service as amazing. I posted it all over Facebook to share how great of a time it was.

    Everything was amazing!...

    Ellie_M, Jun 2024
    Everything was amazing! Only thing would be to better announce when we are going by a scenic place. We only had to rely on the app. If they announced it we would understand more and be able to track where we are going as the app was unreliable.

    Sightseeing while being driven!

    DavidAlfredo_A, Mar 2024
    Our server was amazing and funny! Food was good, mostly seafood. If you need anything else you will have to order it prior to arrival. Other than that, we had an amazing time! Thank you!

    A perfect and original night out

    Rebecca_B, Jan 2024
    Everything was absolutely perfect. The food was amazing and the crew so sweet. We went with friends and had a really special evening.

    Unique way to see London but food could be better

    Alex_S, Oct 2022
    Unique expérience and glad we did it however food was average and music was too loud at times. Overall a pleasant time and a great way to see London with great service throughout :)

    Nice drive not much of a tour

    Terry_K, May 2022
    The audio equipment wasn’t charged so only one worked at our table. Music on board was so loud we could not hear the audio pen. They apologized for half the audio pens not working but did not offer any alternative. Did want hit was mostly seafood and none of our party like seafood.

    Like no other Tourist Bus Ride!

    Kristina_H, Apr 2022
    This was an absolutely fantastic experience. It happened at the perfect time of day to see the sights in daytime, sunset and night. The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating.

    Great concept, needs work

    Margaret_J, Mar 2022
    It was a nice experience, but it was hard finding the pickup location because it’s not marked. I ended up having to call the office. In the bus, it was very comfortable and felt like a high end restaurant. The food was a little blasé, expected a bit better. The service was great, very accommodating.

    Food was absolutely amazing, was very surprised! Staff were very friendly. If you fancy something different with a great atmosphere and great food 💯 try this

    Response from Host, Mar 2022

    I am very happy to hear that you had a great night! Thank you for your lovely feedback. It means a lot to us.

    A Truly Outstanding Experience!

    Kirsten_S, Mar 2022
    This was the most amazing birthday experience and I highly recommend this evening tour. The staff was welcoming and the bus was clean and sanitized frequently. The courses the chef prepared was delicious and beautifully plated, the service was excellent and they made sure to address my sister’s specific dietary concerns even though I forgot to inform them when booking the tour (double check with your guests first, as the menu is preset). Dining with the skyline of London in the background was breathtaking and the audio tour was more extensive than I expected. I will definitely visit next time in in London and look forward to attending the tour when they open up in the States.

    Response from Host, Mar 2022

    Thank you for pointing out things in detail, we are very happy to read this! :)

    Brilliant Experience!!

    Lovely Birthday experience!

    Hellibobs, Feb 2022
    I wanted to celebrate my husband's birthday and this was an excellent way of celebrating on a cold February evening (bus was well air conditioned!). The food was excellent and the waiter was friendly, courteous and very efficient. Everything I requested was put in place to make the experience pleasantly memorable. From the glass of champagne for my husband (as I don't drink) to the birthday candle in the dessert! I would thoroughly recommend this lovely experience to anyone.

    Response from Host, Feb 2022

    Lovely reading about your experience! I am very happy you enjoyed it! :)

    Brilliant night out

    Bev_M, Feb 2022
    Booked this experience whilst visiting London. I would agree with the other views that the drinks are extortionate with a small bottle of coke £5, bottle of water £8 and bottle of basic red wine £40 upwards but the experience was fantastic. People have moaned about the food but it was hot and delicious. Perhaps people need to bear in mind food is being cooked in a limited space

    Food not good

    rayees_q, Feb 2022
    Drive was ok The food was not very nice Left the bus still hungry portions were ridiculous Prices for alcohol were very high
