Enjoy afternoon tea on a London double-decker bus, with scones, Prosecco, and views of Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and more.
“We had a mix of regular, vegetarian, and gluten free options and all were good. The people were all nice, hearing the historical bits was a bit brief and if you were sitting facing the back it was quite a feat to turn to see what they had mentioned because the seats are very close together. Had coffee and hot chocolate which was good. It would be so nice if the bus driver would have given the tour as he drove. And add additional historical bits too.”

Enjoy classic afternoon tea at The Rubens opposite Buckingham Palace, with Royal Mews views, elegant service, pastries, scones, and optional Champagne.
“We had a lovely afternoon tea experience, although we were across from the back of Buckingham Palace- for some reason e we thought it would be across from the front, which in retrospect would be quite impossible. The food and the service were wonderful. I just loved the little cakes and finger sandwiches. Bianca gave attentive, personalized service and was happy to box up our pieces that we could not finish. We felt quite special.”
Enjoy afternoon tea on a London bus with views of Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, and the London Eye.
“The tour was fun and the staff was so friendly. All I would say is that it would be nice to receive a map so you are better able to identify the sights you are seeing. When no one announced what we were driving past, and I didn’t have a map, I honestly had no idea what I was looking at a lot of the time. I would have enjoyed it more if I had known since I was using this tour to see the city while there for just a day. The food was good, the atmosphere was fun, and the staff was kind and friendly.”
Pick a city, a castle or a walk.
