A bus tour and a comedy show in one. Very, very funny! Absolutely loved it! - One of the best experiences we've had in London! Quintessential British humour at its best. My 8 year old son loved it. My husband and I laughed the whole time so much so, our cheeks were hurting at the end. And everybody else on the tour seemed to really enjoy themselves and up for a laugh.
It reminded me of "The play that goes wrong" but on a bus.
And you get to see most famous landmarks from an elevated position which was really good. You're guaranteed a seat on the open top deck as well, which meant no disappointment.
Did we learn a lot of facts during the tour? Not really, but about the same we'd have learnt on a more serious bus tour and with the added bonus of having fun. In fact, we passed a few others tourists buses on our way and I congratulated myself for booking this one. Theirs looked rather boring whilst everyone on our bus was clapping, singing and laughing. Well done to both actors which were very funny and engaging in a very British way!
If you want to experience a tour bus around London but with a twist, don't hesitate and book The classic tour!

The most eccentric bus tour in town! - A double decker joyride around central London brimming with bumbling British balderdash, filled to the brim with fun facts, capped off with cacophony of catchy, original songs to join in with. You cannot say you’ve truly seen central London until you’ve seen it from the perspective of the most eccentric bus tour in town!

Best bus tour in town! - Best bus tour I've ever been on! Other tours were looking at us jealously. We were laughing start to finish and learnt some really interesting facts along the way too. Actors did a brilliant job of holding us and keeping it altogether and giving us some fun games to get involved in. Highly recommend. All hail King Bob

Best tour for locals and tourists alike - This has got to be, hands down, the best London bus tour around the Thames. Not sure how many different tours they have—ours went from Trafalgar Square around Buckingham palace, Westminster, Fleet Street, Downing and more. Great amounts of historical facts but also, great vibes. The guides are so funny, and give you a show and an experience whilst also giving you history. All of the other tour buses, regular buses and, h hi o early pedestrians we passed were looking at our bus in envy as we were wowed at facts, waving little Union jacks and interacting with our brilliant guides.
As a London resident for 10 years, I learned things I didn’t know about statues and buildings I’d passed scores of times without really looking at. It made me fall back in love with a city that I am regularly irritated by and whingeing about.
This is the tourist thing that you’ll recommend to all your out of town visitors or even be willing to take them on. The very British characters the guides have created to interact with each other and the guests are honestly part of an immersive British experience you won’t get on any other bus tour of London, and that you and your friends will remember and laugh about for a lifetime.
If I had one critique, I wish they had had better microphones. They were using wireless ones, but sometimes that did not come out well through the amplification and there were parts of the dialogue that were harder to hear. It’s a small bus, so it’s not that bad, and I honestly wouldn’t mind going again to pick up on the rest.
Also, it’s an older bus, so the upside is having that experience on a classic London bus for the transport aficionados. The downside is a bit more cramped legroom in the seats if you need that sort of thing. You might want to try to get a seat to yourself if you tend to have discomfort in British seating (although it was still better than many west end theatres I’ve been in).
Honestly I will 100% go again to take friends in town and out of town. We went for a friend’s birthday and it made the whole rest of the evening a total delight. Totally wholesome and mad capped fun. And I probably remembered more faces that way.
