Enjoyed the afternoon Tea Bus Tour! The light snacks were tasty and the souvenir to-go tea cup was a nice touch. (Emphasis on snack - finger foods & bite size sweets so don't come hungry). The bus decorations were cute but wish they had a designated photogenic backdrop or area (we did arrive just in the nick of time so that might've been an option that was available had we arrived early). The staff did offer to take our pic while we were seated which after removing the guests seated behind us made for a decent picture. Lastly my only real critique would be: book this more for ambience, listening to the music & socializing rather than an option to see the listed tourist destinations because depending on where you're seated it's hard to see and while you're enjoying conversation & the ride you tend to tune out the announcement of each landmark. Overall a pleasant laid back twist on London's customary tea time tradition.

The experience was very nice. The food was delicious, and the hosts very friendly (Alimat and Aminat). The tour was nice for the sightings, potty the Buckingham Palace is not really visible during the tour. And Unfortunately we were 3 and 1 of us was sitting alone, and not next to but behind us.

The London Eye is more than just an attraction; it is an unforgettable journey that touches your heart and leaves you speechless. Some places are beautiful to visit, but others make you feel something special. London Eye was one of those rare experiences where every view became a memory and every moment felt like a dream. A city beneath my feet, the sky above my head, and a heart full of unforgettable memories. ❤️🎡🇬🇧

Had the best time- booking was so easy. I took my girlfriend on the London eye as she's from sommerset and has never been on it. We went on at 5:30 and watched the sun set all over London. Big Ben, everything all hand in hand. Was magical

The Paddington afternoon tea tour bus was one of the best experiences we have had together as a family. Directions on where to collect the bus from were to the exact point, so there was no stress trying to find where we needed to be collected from. We were given our table numbers when we checked in and boarded the bus in order. The afternoon tea was ready and waiting for us and there was such an array of sandwiches and cakes. All tasted so fresh and full of flavour. You could have as many drinks as you wanted and you needed a hot cup of tea in the cold weather! The bus was warm and inviting and the tea was finished off with warm scones, clotted cream and jam. The tour guide was very informative and our server was attentive and friendly. So many sights were seen in the hour and a half we were on board. This was definitely the best afternoon tea we have had in a long time.

When I booked this experience I thought it was a Paddington open top bus tour with afternoon tea. We left half an hour late so didn't get the full 1 1 /2 hours trip. It wasn't Paddington themed and it wasn't an open top bus! Our tour guide James was brilliant and we had a really good time. The food was very good and all got extra prosecco!
