Full description

Similar in concept to other rolling tea tours, this bus experience departs from near Trafalgar Square with slots throughout the afternoon, serving a full spread of tea, scones, and sandwiches while touring London's best-known landmarks. A high must-see score and strong aesthetic rating confirm its appeal as a photogenic, all-in-one sightseeing-plus-tea package aimed squarely at visitors rather than locals.

The expensive price bracket reflects the bundled sightseeing and catering rather than food alone. It's a convenient option for travellers short on time who want landmarks and tradition covered in one 90-minute outing.

What I liked best was how much you could see and learn. With the food and drinks, it became a unique experience! Really great, definitely something you have to do. Especially at Christmas, it was even more special!!! 😊
