Private London Tour on Brigit's Routemaster Bus

Sightseeing in style

Imagine cruising through the heart of London on one of our classic vintage double-decker red buses, enjoying a personal guided tour that takes you past some of the city's most celebrated landmarks. Our private tours let you experience the capital’s rich heritage from a unique vantage point, making your visit not just a trip, but a fun and unique adventure.

While many guided tours London options focus on open-top buses with a hop-on hop-off system, our service caters to those looking for something more sophisticated. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding or a birthday, or simply want to enjoy a day trip to London, our bespoke experiences are designed to meet the needs of your group. No hop-on-hop-off involved!

Each booking includes a delicious Afternoon Tea, drinks of your choice (hot drinks and bubbly too, if you wish), and a scenic one-and-a-half-hour tour, departing from either Victoria Station or 8 Northumberland Avenue. To make your experience even more special and give you something to remember the day by, we'll also provide a free takeaway mug for each guest.

But if you're after particularly interesting London tours and want something a little different, we can customise your itinerary to incorporate any landmarks you wish to visit.
