Once we finally found the bus (was on the next street over from the meeting point) the experience was great. They started with Prosecco or juices. The tea sandwiches and sweets were very good. The bus took us past many of the major scenic sites. Only thing we note is that they didn’t serve tea until later in the tour after we asked for some, should have been served with the sweets.

Cute little tour with canapes and sweet treats (very accommodating to any food allergies) Glass of Prosecco is what sold it for me initially but I was overjoyed when they said we could keep our tea travel mug! Not taking a star off but the meeting point is wrong in the listing so I had to go into the tour office to find out what it actually was: (51.5046360, -0.1165420) is the actual coordinates right at the London Eye Bus stop by Jubilee Park & Garden. Lastly Ilham, Karin and the driver Ivan were super friendly and a cherry on top!

We had so much fun!! The tour guide, Ilham, was funny and interesting, she pointed to all important landmarks amd shared cute anecdotes but did not overwhelm us with too much information. And at the same time she served us all the food and drinks and treated each table with patience and respect... very impressive!! The driver, Fernando, was kind and helpful. Food and drinks were just great. I highly recommend!!!
