The on board staff were lovely and really helpful and the bus tour was fun. Even though I contacted company prior to tour about special dietary requirements, no one got back to me. Issues with the food that could not replaced on the day!!

Abbey, our guide, was excellent. Streets were obviously very busy, so progress was a bit slow in parts. Not sure if this was the reason, but our tour ended up on a shorter route, not actually crossing the Thames and back, as was on the map route.

Friendly staff. What we couldn't find on the app were the times when the hop-on bus was running. We booked a 48-hour pass that included the Thames, and the app said we had to ask the bus driver for the voucher. But he didn't know anything about a voucher. On to tomorrow! 🥳
