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.

Of course, if you're not sure where to start or have no particular preferences, we can help.

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.
