London Vintage Bus Tour Including River Thames Cruise With Optional Lunch

Worth the price and easy. Process was simple. Loved the easy in and out.

Dreadful experience of Premium Tours, they should be ashamed. Booked a tour for my parents, which was cancelled by the operator a few days before - twice. Both times the company cited 'operational issues'. On both occasions, my parents had already purchased train tickets to central London in order to join the tour, meaning that they are almost £100 out of pocket. When I raised this with Premium Tours, they refused to compensate and instead suggested that my parents should have used the train tickets to go sightseeing (twice). I felt as though I wasn't taken seriously.

Zozo was amazing tour guide, excellent overview and very knowledgable and also professional.

I took the inner circle tour to Stonehenge + Bath. The experience at Stonehenge is incredible! Our guide Eva did a great job during the day along Bath and Lacock. Congratulations to Eva and Mo for this great experience!

Great experience with Lovely Lisa and great driver Shaun.

The best tour is great. I wouldn’t have added the boat. If I known it was gonna be less than 30 minutes I would do the bus again, but not the boat.

Fun bus ride through London with an awesome guide. It was a great day and I enjoyed sitting on the top of the double decker!

This was the highlight of our trip! We saw all of the major London attractions with a knowledgeable, helpful, and informative guide (John) who told interesting stories about thehistory of London. And also included the beautiful ride on the Thames River with fish and chips at the Jagged Hare after the tour. Lots of great picture opportunities!

Got to see lots of amazing london sights on the tour bus as well as on the boat. Tour guide was very good and enjoyable to listen to!

The whole tour was great from start to finish. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We chose a pub supper after tour, the Jugged Hare Pub was a great place, good food and very accommodating staff. I would recommend this tour for first time UK visitors. Thank you

Great way to get acclimated to the city and then decide what you want to see! Loved it and learned quite a bit. Recommend to people who have not visited London before!

The tour leader was very good and knowledgeable, However. The vehicle was horrible. There were awful fumes from the bus. There is no climate control so we were there in the heat, and the top part got even more fumes and was in the sun. The bus also was very bumpy and loud. - you literally drive by most sights and only quickly glimpse them except for the 2 stops. The cruise part was physically more comfortable and we weee able to see the sights pointed out

A great way to get an overview of the city. Tour guide, Magnus, was very knowledgeable. The only downside was on the River Thames portion. The windows were so dirty you couldn’t really see.

The afternoon traveling throughout London was fabulous! Our guide John was so knowledgeable and I highly recommend him if your visiting

The tour leader was very accomplished and knowledgeable and also British, which was definitely a plus!

The tour was a lot of fun, and our host was quite the character—definitely kept things lively! One thing to note: the bus pickup location is inside the bus terminal, not on the street like many other Hop-On/Hop-Off tours. It would be helpful if that were made clearer in advance. That said, the terminal does offer restrooms, benches, and snack options, which was convenient. We sat on the upper deck of the bus, which made for a fun (and breezy) ride. The sights were enjoyable, although the traffic was heavy—nothing you can really do about that. Still, we were entertained throughout the entire ride. The cruise portion lasted only about 30 minutes, which felt surprisingly short—I almost couldn’t believe we had cruised the Thames! I highly recommend adding the optional fish and chips—it was incredible. The portion was huge, the fish perfectly crispy, and the fries just the way I like them. Enjoying it in the pub, watching people wind down at the end of the workday, made for a great atmosphere.

Very minimal commentary. Sometimes hard to hear/understand. Would have appreciated Vox boxes. Terrible traffic so sat for long periods of time. Somewhat unprofessional.

We really enjoyed this tour. Our guide John was excellent and our driver Sean was the best! The vintage bus was fun. Overall a fun tour.

We took this tour because we only had one day to see London. We made a great choice! Our guide, John, was so knowledgeable, very friendly, helpful and professional. He REALLY knows what he’s doing! The Vintage bus is beautiful and the driver, Shawn, is very sweet and always smiling. We took the bus, river tour and fish and chips option. The river cruise was beautiful and the “non guide” ( a different John) was hilarious. We ran out of time for the fish and chips, but managed to gulp down one of the beers brewed by the pub. We had to get back to the train station and asked our bartender, Eleanor, to call us a can. She told us that the black cabs were so busy at that time of day that she would order us an uber. She even walked us out to the car and invited us back. It was a great experience!

We travelled on a 1966 bus, a riverboat and had tea at Harrods . Our tour guide Lisa, was excellent , knowledgeable and attentive .. bus driver was superb . Thanks for a very pleasant day out . Will definitely book again .

Too long without bathroom breaks. Not enough history highlights. It was ok. The river cruise info was the best but short.

We did see quite a bit of the major landmarks in London. We were allowed a few minutes at Buckingham palace to take pics, but that was the only opportunity to do so. The guide Lisa was wonderful and added wonderful commentary. However, the boat ride did not provide much of an opportunity for pictures as there was no rooftop deck and the windows inside were too dirty to get pics through. The boat commentator was very nice and had some additional information, and the ride was pleasant. We opted for the fish and chips afterward and I'm so glad we did! It was absolutely delicious! Overall, it's a good excursion to get a real eyeful of Londons most important sites.

Vintage bus ride was wonderful! Saw all of the sights and the commentary from Lisa was very informative! Sitting up top was a great vantage point and luckily it was a beautiful day!

Buckingham Palace. Narration by Rich. He was very patient as I was walking with a cane. He clearly enjoys his job. Would highly recommend.

Good tour to start with if you have never visited London. Overview of central London to help get your bearings. Kind and knowledgeable tour guide, Magnus.

this tour was great and very informative! you get off the bus a few times and it can be a bit chilly so bring a jacket especially if you’re gonna sit on the top deck. great price and perfect amount of time. would recommend for london visitors!!

On the first bus stop, the guide led us to a huge crowd of people entering the Buckingham Palace and said "go in, walk around a bit and come back", then disappeared with no further guidance. My wife needs a cane to walk so we move slowly. After clearing the Palace security system, we got a call to return to the bus. Our fastest route to return took us to the garden exit which we reached 30 minutes later. Then outside we walked several blocks looking for the bus, finally gave us and took a taxi back to our hotel.

Steve was SUPER. Informative, entertaining, and culturally inclusive—making sure everyone on board had a great time regardless of their background! The ticketing agent at Stop 24 (Carlos) was SUPER friendly and helpful, as well, making the whole experience a positive one. Highly recommended.

Really fun and informative. Some great photo opportunities, some drive-by and some time to get off and walk around a bit. Traveled as a couple and this was a fantastic way to get around London without having to drive! Lunch at the pub was amazing, met awesome folks from across the globe and the fish and chips lunch was the best we had on our entire trip. Overall a wonderful experience!

We booked this tour as a way to see the key highlights of London while visiting friends. Our party consisted of 4 adults and 4 children ages 7-10. We were the last group to board the bus, and so sat in the only seats available which were in the front of the bus under roof. The information on the tour was sufficient for our needs / desires and we enjoyed seeing the sights, however we only made two stops on the tour (across the river from the House of Parliament / Big Ben and at St. Paul’s Cathedral) and the single speaker at the front of the bus was not working well. Any enjoyment of the tour was overshadowed by the tour guide (Lisa) approaching our group at the first stop and asking us to keep the kids quiet. While I would understand that request if the kids were screaming or carrying on, the kids were in their seats simply talking and excited about the sites like others on the bus.

I love the tour guide he was very helpful and friendly. He knew the city very well. I love his outfit he looks like President George Washington.

Having the opportunity to visit the Buckingham Palace was great and then to see the changing of the guards. The Fish and Chips lunch was the highlight. Enjoyed the tour guide.

The detail history the city that was given by the tour guide as we moved throughout the city. It was more than just a tour job for him. He was passionate about what he was sharing.

What a wonderful day & tour of London. Our guide, John & driver, Sean were awesome. John took time to take personal photos for all of the people on the tour, had a great knowledge of the city & stops, and was professional throughout the tour. Would recommend to everyone. Thank you for a great day.

The driver does a wonderful job taking you to the most sought after sights and the guide provides a fabulous explanation of each. He is a very entertaining guide. We opted for the included fish and chips and had a wonderful meal. The Thames cruise gets on at the London Tower. You will have time for a very quick phot opt if traffic isn’t too bad. You get off at the London Eye. The driver makes sure that you know where you are heading off to before he takes of. He took us right to our restaurant and brought us in before leaving us.

We were looking forward to this tour as we only had a brief time in London. We thought this would be a good way to see the most important sites. As we started out, we were excited to learn about London's history and its famous landmarks. That quickly went away as the tour guide began to describe the sites. There was a lot of traffic and some road closures that couldn't be helped. This led to extra time for our tour guide to fill and, unfortunately, he filled it with comments about his personal views on many topics (politics, race, Pride and more). He was offensive and unprofessional. This might have been a great tour with a different guide but, unfortunately for us, it was terrible.

It was good seeing the main buildings but it is all from a distant. Cruise was was good. Commentry coulb a little more interesting.

Alan our guide was great! He was funny and was able to pivot when the protests caused routes to be closed. Alan shared great amounts of history about the different buildings, drove home the difference between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, and was able to adjust and show additional points of interest when we were unable to go the usual route. I would highly recommend!

We loved going on the water. Our guide was good at keeping everyone together. Glad we got off the bus a few times - especially at Horse Guards.

Guide was very informative and entertaining. Had some issue finding the pick up point for bus. No sign to find where to check in. Just happened to walk by someone with clipboard.

Our guide was fantastic, able to talk about all the sites with some anecdotes thrown in as well. Would totally do this again

-Tour guide was basically pointing out buildings but not telling us the history -The bus was filthy and worn down. The seats were run down and straight out of the 1970's We were completely uninformed about how long the bus tour is, the boat tour (1/2 hour) and when we'd be eating the lunch (4:30 pm). We didn't know until it happened, but we had a 40 minutes between the bus and boat so we ate. We thought lunch was between bus and boat. -We couldn't hear the tour guide. Not only was the mic a little low but there were a group of 5-6 teenagers and they were yelling and talking over him. Finally, when we got to the boat, the tour guide said something. The group continued to be loud so a fellow passenger walked over to them and had to tell them again to shut up (that finally worked). The teenagers ruined the trip for everyone but the guide just kept pointing out buildings trying to talk over them. -the boat ride was an Uber boat with a horrible mic which kept making feed back noises. I think you're better off doing a separate boat tour which leaves from the same pier. I wouldn't recommend this tour.

We got to see all the major points in the city, wish we did this the first day to help plan our week.

Our tour guide was awesome & very accommodating. He was knowledgeable & entertaining. The bus couldn’t take us close to the pub so the tour guy walked us close to the proximity to the pub.

lisa was wonderful!!! very friendly kind and professional. she provided an amazing experience and i am very thankful for her and the tour. :)

What a great day, Eugene was our driver with our tour guide (Dave, I think) very funny and good knowledge of London. Highly recommend this trip. A lovely fish and chip lunch at the jugged hare.

Unfortunately, it was a rainy day so views from the open-air, dbl decker bus was limited. That aside, the river cruise portion was not narrated (unless you opted for audio for a fee) so you missed knowing what you were seeing. The tour ended a 30-40 minutes early leaving us dropped off in the rain for an hour until the restaurant opened. The Jugged Hair had yummy fish and chips so the lunch portion was a good add. It seemed disorganized (tour/guide). We started with 20 guests but lost a few along the way so stay close and ask clarifying questions. Scenic but not worth the cost, IMO.

Not very enlightening. Vintage bus was fun but the driver was unaware of some roads being closed. So the narrator was thrown off when new routes had to be found. Then the boat wasn’t available and we had to stand on the pier for over 30 minutes. The boat was loud and we couldn’t hear the narrative on the boat tour. Waste of money
