Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This was a nice bus tour with great food but there were a couple of things that really let it down.
Firstly, all of the guests were left waiting an extra 15minutes in the cold and rain with no communication as to what was going on or why we were going to be late setting off. It wasn’t until we were leaving that we were told it was because they were short staffed and the food wasn’t ready. Still, in these circumstances it was probably better to at least get us on board rather than leave all the children freezing.
Secondly, there was no pre warning or mention of the fact that we weren’t actually visiting Buckingham palace- the map was switched off and staff acted like nothing had changed. Whatever the reason is, it would have been nice to have been honest about it instead of pretending it was never on the tour. Our child was really looking forward to it and was left upset because she didn’t get to see it but we had no idea why.
The food was good and staff all nice but better communication is needed. For the price we paid we thought the service would be a lot better.

The food was decent and my husband and I paid extra for the prosecco. We sat in the top floor so we had a decent view. But they advertise that it's an hour and 30 minutes, when in reality it was only an hour, so that was disappointing. We booked a tour for 2:30, and because some people showed up late, we ended up pulling out at 2:40...then the tour ended at 3:40...so definitely not the 1.5 hours that they tell you when booking.

I booked this trip for a Mother’s Day present and had a great time. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, offered to take pictures of us which was nice. The selection of food on offer was great, all freshly prepared and very tasty - the scones were delicious and warm when they arrived.
We opted to pay a little extra to sit at the top deck at the front - must say it’s worth it! You get more of a better view.
The Paddington Bear tv screens were nice explaining about each place we was going past. The bus had some nice music on the end of the trip and light the outside of the bus up too.
Overall I would recommend this trip!

We had a great afternoon seeing the sights of London from a slightly different view. The food was amazing and plentiful. The routemaster was beautifully decorated with music playing and commentary along the way. The staff were welcoming, attentive and funny. We didn’t want the experience to end.
Would highly recommend this.

This Bus was the first appointment we booked during our short stay in London. We thought, in this very comfortable way, we can see quite a lot of London. Our two persons in charge were Kaven and Gabriel. In a really smart and friendly way, they served us many delicious appetizers and also the Champagne, which we ordered in advance via the homepage was not wrong. :-) This bus is clearly recommandable for everyone!

We had a lovely afternoon on the peppa pig bus tour... the tour guide Brian was fab and kept the children entertained with songs, games and just being fun.
It was my sons 3rd bday which I had added on the notes when booking. When we arrived Brian asked his name and presented him with a cake and a encouraged everyone to sing happy birthday! A very special moment! (Thank you!)
The tour itself is good but was a tad hard to see from the lower deck.
Food was good, we took lots home with us and got to keep our peppa pig cups.
Overall I would recommend for a peppa fan!
Massive thanks to Daisy, Christian, Brian and Taiwo for the hospitality! 💜

Was meant to go on the Peppa pig bus tour for 4 children and 3 adults and a bottle of prosecco so ALOT of money was spent.
We was minutes away from getting the bus and they wouldn't wait for us due to their awful direction's for where to get on the bus! 4 crying children and over £200 out of pocket.
Bumped into a lady called Sue Turner who said this happens all the time!
Unacceptable!

Menu online needs to be changed. Claims there is various sandwiches including turkey and ham which is why I booked this one for me and my kids. Everything had cream cheese on it and the sandwiches were either cheese or cucumber and salmon. The food was lovely can't fault the taste or how it was presented but not worth the money for kids at all when there's nothing they can eat on the plate, had to end up buying them food when I got off the bus after paying the money for the tea which isn't great. We did ask on the bus if there was any way we could get a sandwich for the kids with just ham or turkey and were told no

I took my daughters-in-law for the Grinchmas tour and it was a fantastic time! We all enjoyed the trip and the high tea very much! The guides were super friendly and made the trip extra fun with excellent service and trivia. I highly recommend dressing in the spirit of the tour as it really enhances the theme. The food was delicious and the tea selections were awesome! I highly recommend the tour as it's a unique way to see London!

Bridget’s Valentines bus Tour was just amazing. We were welcomed by Catherine who escorted us up to a beautifully decorated table with an assortment of treats and little sandwiches that looked like a bakery shop window. Leisurely driving around London, eating treats and drinking champagne. Tariq and Svet were there to take care of our every need. The Staff were all young people who were very polite and professional. I highly recommend this trip to anyone wanting a unique adventure in London. You won’t be disappointed!

Does the tour from Victoria Station travel clockwise around the city or counter clockwise? Trying to ascertain what side of the bus would have the best views.
Written 15 January 2020
I can't recall the direction of travel - we weren't provided with a map. However my wife and I were seated at a table on the LHS of the lower level of the bus, about midway from the front, and we were happy with the view we got of everything.

We are three women visiting London to celebrate a 50th Birthday. We are thinking of booking the VIP seats to get a better view. It appears that the VIP seats are only for two people on either side of the bus. Do I need to book both VIP tables? Is there any way to make it so that one of us isn't completely separated from the other two? Thank you!

If you book together you should be able to get a four seat table. We were there in February and we had a four seat table.

Maybe. An upstairs table would hold their interest as they would have a better view of the route. In addition to no bathroom facilities, air conditioning was not available (our bus was a vintage model). If the children are sensitive to heat, perhaps this may not be an option.
