We were on the second Paddington themed bus tour and the team were exemplary! Very professional and made the experience extremely special for my son and I. We sat right at the front and had the most wonderful afternoon, even despite my little one suffering from motion sickness. I highly recommend!
We just finished Paddington tour bus! I booked this for my daughters 7th Birthday. The food is beautiful presented! Very cute and vegetarian menu very good in selection. The girls had so much fun listening to the tour. We are definitely going to try different theme tour with Brigit Bakery again!
Really enjoyed our experience on the Paddington themed afternoon tea bus tour. I took my 5 yr son and he loved the bus, cakes and souvenirs. Would definitely recommend, particularly if you have young kids and want to show them the City of London.
Took our Grandchildren on this tour, they had a great time. Ane, Aurora & Angelou were all brilliant and so efficient. Ane was so enthusiastic that it rubbed off on everyone on the tour. The food was excellent, service exemplary and on the whole a really enjoyable time.
Our trip was a Paddington Bear themed afternoon tea which included a sightseeing tour of some of the main London tourist attractions. The experience for our grandchildren was really magical. We all really had a great time. The standard of catering was exceptional even though all done on a moving double decker vintage London bus.
It was absolutely wonderful, the food was beautiful the staff extremely friendly and helpful, can't recommend it strongly enough. We all really enjoyed it. Shout out to Anna and Amir who served us. Nice little touch keeping our travel mugs to take home. ❤️
Visit our tearoom near the Savoy and enjoy a Paddington afternoon tea in our Peruvian jungle room. The paw-fect pre-theatre treat.
