We loved the vintage bus, our tour guide was amazing! He was super knowledgeable and got us to the perfect spots for changing of the guard photos! This tour covered everything in half a day. We added the London Eye and it was perfect!

Good tour. But we spent too much time waiting for the boat and missed the changing of the guard which would have been the highlight of the tour

My daughter and I went on a premium tour - the first part was a vintage bus tour of London with a Thames river cruise.
The open air vintage bus tour was fabulous - our tour guide - Steve - was so well informed about London and the history and I learned alot - we got to see all the landmarks and Steve gave us great commentary! He also had a sense of humor which always makes it more fun.
The cruise was also very nice and great views of London!
We did the morning tour and I would recommend it - we only had about 12 folks but I saw the afternoon tour was much larger!

The vintage bus trip was a great way to get a view of London. There is very little walking. For people with walking or other disabilities, it's a good tour but accessing the second floor of the bus and down will be tough. We had a lovely day without rain, so the open air was great. The Uber boat tour down the Thames was fast and interesting with narration. But here is what really was the most worthwhile-jumping the extremely long line to the London Eye. We signed up for this add on to the tour. After exiting, we realized that the Fast Pass line extended for about a half of a mile! OMG-those people would be in the line for an hour or more. Also note that if you do the London Eye at the end, make sure you know how you will return to your hotel.

This tour was just what we were looking for! We got a wonderful introduction to London, and our tour guide was fun and knowledgeable. He even offered to take some amazing photos of our entire group at Buckingham Palace and on the boat tour. We added the optional London Eye activity and it did not disappoint either. It was a great trip!

Our tour with Steve was excellent on our first full day in London. We got an excellent morning tour of the city, and Steve was sure to answer any and all questions we had along the way. The top deck was an excellent place for seeing all the sights and for snapping photos. Steve guided us through the history of street names, London traditions, fun factoids, and pointed out all of the landmarks along the way, with wit to boot!
After the first leg of the bus tour, we joined a public river cruise up the Thames from London back to Westminster, where we rejoined our bus for a quick ride/walk to the palace. Keep in mind this isn't a hop on/off experience, but rather a cohesive guided tour.
The highlight for my group and myself was the fact that we had a real tour guide to answer questions and be our guide, rather than an audio recording with a map. The tour started in Victoria Coach Station (be sure to go inside for the stop) and ended at Buckingham Palace to catch the end of the changing of the guard. I would indubitably go again, especially on my first day in the city to get a lay of the land along with some fun trivia too.

Good tour that gives an overview of tourist spots in London. It is not a detailed tour of anyone spot but good if you are a first timer in London

I am glad we took a tour, but would not recommend for the price. The tour guide was knowledgle, but for me became TMI in terms of just history. Particularly in front of Windsor Castle (the only time we got off) it was a boring, snooze fest. I actually walked away bc I was over it. If this tour had included Abbey Road and the studio I probably would have liked it more. The river ride was refreshing but no drinks included, nothing I haven't done befoe. The EYE was just a huge ferris wheel of views we had already seen.
