1.Afternoon Tea Bus Tour – 1960s Routemaster Bus

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,032 reviews · 1 hour 25 minutes (approx.) · from $87Our pick

Ride a 1960s Routemaster through London with afternoon tea, fresh sandwiches, pastries, landmark views, and practical tips before booking.

“Lovely food and service! The scones were delicious ! We had a difficult time hearing the narration, of course people were chatting too. They don't let you choose to sit on the top or bottom tables on the bus. It would be good to be able to know how the seating is decided and to be offered a choice. Overall it was a fun experience.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 422 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $85

Ride through London with afternoon tea, cakes, music, and landmark views on this charming 90-minute double-decker bus tour.

“We loved this tour. It was well organized, the bus was easy to find inside the station. Once onboard, the interior was nicely decorated. The food was delicious and filling. We appreciated the selection of teas and coffees, we were able to try a few. The tour itself was narrated but not the entire time which we loved. It allowed for socialization while still learning what we were passing. I would do this again in a heartbeat.”
