  • Fabulous!

    I’m a British mum who lives in Germany and my son was very excited about the idea of riding a london bus when we came over for a visit. So I booked the Paddington afternoon tea bus and needless to say, he was very excited when he saw it!

    The tea itself is very cute, tasty and super kid friendly, which delighted my little fussy eater! So I was able to sit back, relax and enjoy a cup of tea.

    The only negative was the usual london traffic between sites, but the staff on board made sure those parts of the journey were filled with songs, games and quizzes. The kids were never bored, we were very well looked after and all the staff were amazing!

    Highly recommend!

  • Cannot Recommend Enough - For All Ages!

    The day was a spectacular event, the bus route was amazing going to all the places Paddington went and the visual and audio narration really adds to the experience! We loved the tea and the macaroons were definitely a hit. The best part was, in a fun little competition to spot a Paddington Bear along the route our bus won so got to take home our Paddington Bear coffee cups! The team staffing the bus were so warm and friendly and whilst remaining unobtrusive they were always on hand. We both fully enjoyed ourselves and it seemed everyone else on our bus did too.

  • Spectacular!

    Me and my friend Angel who is from the USA booked in for this as a sort of special treat, I organised the booking because I felt it would be a truly amazing experience for a first time UK visitor and it was!
    The staff and bus driver are incredibly friendly, helpful, chatty and uplifting, the main girl certainly stole the show with how excitable and dedicated she was!
    The food was great, just enough for the two of us and we were also suprised with a fresh baked scone! Fun challenge questions two throughout the journey.
    Despite being two adults, the event certainly brung out the childlike wonder in us both. Would rate 10 if I could, thank you!
