This experience came highly recommended and was something I wanted to do the other times I've been in London, but only now finally got around to doing, which was fortuitous since I had my 17-year-old daughter with me. We absolutely loved the whole thing. It was the perfect way to kick off our Eight days in London. I am an afternoon tea fanatic, and I love traveling so combining both things in one experience is perfect. The food was excellent and I loved the route that we took through London which gave my daughter a general idea of the layout in the area. Also, I have to give a huge shout out to the three people who took such outstanding care of us! Thank you, Svet, Anna, and Maria for making the experience even more wonderful with your care, knowledge, and friendliness! read more

We did the Peppa Pig Afternoon Tea and my daughter was ecstatic! It was a convenient way to see London while having tea and pastries. My daughter especially loved the Peppa Pig-shaped cookies! read more

BB Afternoon Tea Tour Bus - Coffee & Tea Near Me

UPDATE: I gave Brigit's Tea Bus Tours multiple opportunities to refund my unusable tickets after my father's passing. Only after these efforts did I post the review. Only AFTER the review posted did they suddenly change their tune, and asked me to take down the review. It took the review to go public for them to offer anything, so while I absolutely appreciate the refund (minus a "processing fee"), I should not have had to publish a negative review for them to show a modicum of compassion. (My review was also posted on TripAdvisor, but Brigit's had it taken down.) There are many bus companies in London; find one with genuine human decency, which Brigit's lacks. read more

What a waste of money. I expected tourists and crappy food, what I didn't expect was a piece of trash tourist who refused to let me sit in my assigned seat. The employees couldn't/wouldn't do anything about her outrageous behavior so my family had to sit downstairs, even though we paid for second floor seats. read more

So fun! You get to see all the popular spots while enjoying a scrumptious tea in an old school double decker bus. No air so beware. Our tour guide and waitress were adorable and so knowledgeable. Treats were delicious and got a souvenir coffee cup. Loved it read more

This experience was wonderful, for a one-time thing. You're on a beautiful double-decker, getting a tour of London's main sites while noming on some small bites & drinking tea (or other beverages). Overall, it was a nice way to spend a couple hours & you cant take pretty bomb pictures, but I don't think I would do it again. You can easily book your package online for your food & drink options (they have a lot) and also choose your seat (which floor, which booth specifically). Your drinks comes in one of those plastic cups (with a cap) & you get to keep it a the end of the tour. The staff on the bus were all super nice & very attentive. However, unfortunately, the bites were just okay. Not bad, but not impressive. It's a lot though! You'll definitely be full, & if you don't finish it, they can give you a box to take out. Moreover, it was kind of hard to hear the person announcing all the sites - more of a visual tour than anything. read more

My brother and his wife did this tour last year and kept raving about it, so of course I had to check it out for myself. We made sure to book well in advance to get a great seat on the upper level and at the very front. Wow, what a spectacular view! Despite the rain, we loved seeing all the sights from a vintage double-decker, and the tea and snacks were scrumptious. I made sure not to have breakfast before the tour (and I typically eat quite a bit), but at the end of the tour I was stuffed! The bus was well-maintained, the interior was clean and inviting, and our tourguides Coralie and Sarah were fantastic! Very knowledgeable and professional in every way. I would highly, highly recommend this amazing experience to everyone. You get to kill several birds with one stone: double-decker busride, guided tour of London's landmarks, afternoon high tea. Next time we're in London, we'll definitely check out other tours that the company offers. read more

My family and I took the tea bus tour last month and overall...it was just okay. Service: The service is great, and everyone is very friendly. Ambiance: The bus itself is nicely decorated and is clean, but it was also FREEZING COLD. When I inquired about the heater I was told it was on as high as possible. Tour: Was just okay. It was difficult to hear some of the recording, and the information I did hear wasn't anything too fascinating. Food: The food is unimpressive at best. The tea is very heavy on the sugary aspects and light on the savory ones, so don't assume you can forgo lunch for this! Also, the quantity was lacking, especially for the price. And finally, while the tea selection was good, I was very disappointed to see they were making me instant coffee. For the price I definitely expected more than a packet of Nescafe (sp?). Overall: There are far more enjoyable, and affordable places to have a better afternoon tea. Save yourself the $$ and book a tea and then get on a Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour. read more

What a great way to tool around London and have high tea at the same time. Recommended to sit up top of the double-decker for best views. Was a gray misty day so we really enjoyed getting to see the sights and having a pretty authentic high tea experience. One can order glasses of bubbly if you desire otherwise tea and hot chocolate are replenished as often as one likes. The pastries were delicious. If I were to recommend a perfect group to do this with, it would be familes(children from about 8 up). The family sitting next to me was delighted, the kids at one table, parents at the other. All having a great time. A shout out to Misha, the guide, he was so accommodating and personable. Loved it, a bit touristy, but hey, that's what I am. read more

Pricey, but a nice way to tour the city. Tea and desserts were also lovely. Paying extra for an upper front seat is worth it for the better view. Book early! read more

Save your money . In a nutshell because I don't review a lot . stifling hot bus - no AC , LOUD , saw zero major landmarks , it simply is not their route . We saw an apartment building where some employees lived . Food horrid . Also , we had one daughter Sick ( with urgent care ) note in hand and simply said , too bad , can't refund , can't change date , can't get credit " because we made the food already " - a roll with cream cheese . Sooooooo many other activities in London . read more

This was amazing. Really something for everyone. Afternoon tea and tons of good food. Prosecco. History and sightseeing. A vintage Routemaster. The driver even let me look under the hood at the end. You even get a souvenir commuter mug. read more

We took my sister for her 30th birthday and she loved it. It was something so different it combined two great things - sight seeing and afternoon tea. We met outside the savoy hotel where the vintage London bus was waiting. You got mini quiche, sandwiches, macaroons, mini cupcakes, scones and sweet pastries with coffee or a selection of teas as much tea and coffee as you wanted. You also got a little bottle of orange juice. The sights you see were Big Ben, harrods, South Kensington, royal Albert hall, Notting hill, Marble Arch, Piccadilly, trof alga square, London eye and Buckingham palace. Overall it was a great experience and defiantly something you should try. It's £45 for an adult and £35 for children aged 6-11, defiantly worth the money especially for London prices. read more

SO FUN! My husband and I went on the BB Afternoon Tea Bus Tour on our recent trip to London and we had a blast! I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for something special, memorable and fun to do in London. I liked this bus 100% more than any hop on hop off bus tour I've ever taken, plus you get tea and snacks! Our tour guides were fantastic, attentive and personable. We got to see all the sights from seats on top of a double decker iconic red bus while we sipped on our tea! My only complaint is that they clearly advertise Gluten Free and Dairy Free as options, but it's NOT Celiac friendly. That being said, they credited us for the price of food and told me to bring my own snacks to eat on board, which worked out fine in the end... it sucked to see all those cute pastries and goodies and not be able to eat any but I still had a blast. read more

Great idea and we booked this as our first adventure after landing. The bus arrived on time and boarding was fairly quick. The pastries were very good and a large assortment. The tea was not brewed as many tea houses do, it was bag tea and hot water. The bus drove around and it was a very jostling ride, making it difficult to stay in your seat at times, let alone drink. More than a few items from a few tables ended up on the floor. The staff were friendly but there wasn't much tour. Typical sightseeing tours have someone to point out what you are passing along the way. Only a few things were mentioned though. I'd recommend the bakery, but not the bus ride. read more

My husband and I went on this tour while on our stay in London. We had the most enjoyable time relaxing on the bus and enjoying the tea, bubbly, and treats. The staff was especially helpful and accommodating! I would recommend this adorable little tour to anyone who wants to have cute, silly moment with friends and family. read more

The worst of the worst. This is a warning: please do not book any tour bus with them. We did and it was a complete catastrophe. The food is not only awful but it is dangerous. They don't have a kitchen in the bus (obviously) and they can't really keep their food cold. Hence on hot days the food sits long hours in the bus. I got sick and had to go to the hospital for food poisoning. And cherry on the top: it is incredibly expensive for nothing. You can't see anything from the bus. It is way much better to walk to appreciate the beauty of London, not in this bus. I can't warn you enough from BB Afternoon Tea. read more

This is a scam. 2 cucumber sandwiches and 2 pretzels for $65. They didn't carry any vegetarian food.. complete waste of money.. they have recorded voice on the bus..STAY AWAY. read more
