    The tour guide provided very informative and humorous commentary. Had us laughing all the way. This is how information should always be transmitted, in fun and good humor!

    Great tour! The guide was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and funny. I was here on business and only had a short period to see the city and this tour let me see the main sights quickly. Left the bus feeling informed and entertained. Would recommend.

    If you want to do sight seeing tours big bus tours is the one you will enjoy the ride and the location maps are pretty clear even a lamen can understand easily and you have audio tours and the guides are really polite and helpful all the time Only suggestion is the evening your bus if you get bored or tired you are not allowed to get down anywhere and sit in the bus for 2-3 hours Avoid if possible if you hate to sit continously for 3 hours and please do utilise walking tours which is for 1.5 to 2 hours where you enjoy every bit of it

    We really enjoyed the tour itself. It was a bit challenging to find the bus with the info given. Since we were traveling without internet access we were relying on the screenshot that I had printed out. So maybe a bit better organization in that regard. A confirmation page with all of the details after booking would have been very helpful. They were responsive in regards to my emails prior to the tour.

    Booked this last minute with some friends and so glad I did!! The tour was very fun and informative and definitely the best way to see London. Our guide was great managing to make boring facts interesting and funny. Will recommend to everyone I know!!!

    Booked for two people for 4:45pm, arrived a few minutes before and saw the bus driving off. So we weren't able to go on the tour. I've since contacted the company but have had no reply after a week, there is no phone number or email address for them so had to message via Instagram which I know they use because they often post. Have asked for a refund but no joy. My order number is ORD381293667

    We had a great time today on the Christmas Lights tour. As a family of 5 with 3 kids (11,8 and 5) we enjoyed Tom’s interesting and entertaining commentary which made us all laugh. He was great! Despite the rain (which is obviously outside the tour companies control) we enjoyed the tour and marvelled at the twinkling light displays. We moved downstairs when the rain grew heavier which was just as fun. We actually turned up 30 mins early to ensure we got seats upstairs. Doing so we were offered seats on the earlier bus tour which was great for us. The pick up and drop off location was excellently located and easy to find. The traffic was slow around central at 4.30pm… which to be honest was to be expected, however Tom kept everyone entertained and spread some Christmas cheer. We would definitely recommend the tour especially with Tom as our guide. Thank you The Classic Tour for a memorable trip.

    For the price it was good, lovely proper old London Bus the tour would be a lot better if they drove past Buckingham Palace but guess it would cost more.

    The tour bus with the most character in London. We booked this tour bus in October 2023. It was great. We had a fantastic experience with a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. She was funny and witty keeping you laughing along the way. The iconic classic open red London bus sure impressed my Australian partner. It gave her a true sense of the London landmarks in a bus that everyone knows London for. Would definitely recommend.

    Me, my wife and a couple of my friends came to visit me from USA decided to explore London with an open top sightseeing tour bus. Looked online and found The Classic Tour. The bus looks cool. Been on the tour on Friday last week and I must say, it was incredible. My friends including us had an amazing sightseeing tour and we learnt a lot of new things. The live guide was excellent with a lot of knowledges about the city of London. I recommend this highly not only to the tourists but also for the Londoners.

    I definitely picked the right day to go! Loved it. Guide was great, energetic and eloquent. Recommend.

    We were disappointed after reading good reviews. The staff are unfriendly and the route is uninspired. Be aware that during the week, it doesn’t include Buckingham Palace. The guide tried to quell our disappointment by announcing that even at weekends, it just goes by the side of the palace, so we didn’t miss much. Why advertise it as a feature then?! The guide was not entertaining from our perspective but only cynical to all modern architecture and progress. He was only positive towards old buildings and his self confessed obsession with militaria. We got a much better impression from walking around with Google Maps as a less jaded guide. Those old bus seats are uncomfortable too! Our tour was shorter than the advertised timing but we were nothing but relieved to get off early. Avoid!

    Would highly recommend this tour. Very knowledgeable tour guide who also added humour. Discovered so much about the London landmarks plus more.

    I enjoyed it a lot. We saw everything we needed to see in London during our short stay.

    The trip was ok but the commentary was not good. No offence but a lot of waffle really the trip could have been longer. I will email the office.

    We did the evening Christmas lights tour and it was great fun. Excellent commentary and it was just so christmassy. Took about an hour. I'd recommend.

    A great tour. Lots to take in but easy to listen to and digest. Well worth a ride

    Arrived 30th October with a National Rail days-out-guide 2for1 voucher which was valid 09 September 2019 to 01 may 2020. Was told that they wouldn't accept it as it is too busy 'Halloween week'. Bus was less than a quarter full when it departed. Out of 10 vouchers we had for our week in London, this was the only one that wasn't honoured.
