“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.”

11.Buckingham Palace & Afternoon Tea Sightseeing Tour with PG Tips

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 540 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $151

Review of London’s Buckingham Palace, sightseeing bus, and afternoon tea tour, with timing, value, crowds, audio guide, and practical tips.

“Magnificent opulence. Well organised. Lots to see. Audio guide pretty good. Surprisingly reasonably priced cafe at the end. The tour ends at the back of the palace overlooking the gardens but you aren't allowed to wander around them. Garden tour was available but at extra cost - it seems you need to book this extra at the same time as your visit to the Palace rooms, there wasn't a possibility to purchase at the end of the Palace tour. Our visit took a couple of hours.”

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
