Group Travel Tour Operator and DMC for London
Great British Tea Bus
Includes an Afternoon Tea
The Great British Tea Bus is a fantastic way to see London whilst enjoying a fabulous afternoon tea.
Whilst you indulge in your Afternoon Tea, you will be taken on a delightful journey past some of London’s “must see” landmarks aboard a specially converted iconic 1960s Routemaster bus. On the “Round London Sightseeing tour” route you’ll see the Royal Courts of Justice, St.Paul’s Cathedral, Monument, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Big Ben & Parliament buildings, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing Street & Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus. Return to your meeting point with a deeper appreciation for the city and some fantastic pictures of the sights from the bus.
As you sip on a freshly brewed cup of tea, savouring traditional sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and indulgent cakes, let the gentle hum of music set the perfect atmosphere. All the while, you’ll enjoy the sights of London’s essential sights as they roll by, creating a unique blend of tradition, luxury, and sightseeing. It’s an unforgettable high tea adventure that combines the charm of the past with the vibrancy of the present, making every moment a delightful journey.
During the evening we can arrange a group meal or maybe take in a West End show or a dinner cruise on the River Thames.
