  • We had the most magical trip on the Paddington Bear afternoon tea bus tour, it was so much fun and laughter, we didn't want it to end.
    The hosts on board that day were so happy, friendly, and helpful and made it so much fun.
    We would definitely recommend and even do it again one day hopefully.

  • Had a great time afternoon tea was lovely great tour around London but the driving was a bit erratic considering young children were on board we were upstairs but still had a good time the host was amazing so much fun x

  • 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!

  • 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.
