Such a wonderful experience. Seeing all of London whilst enjoying a tasty afternoon tea with prosecco. The food was delicious and well presented. Our hostess', Mercy and Justiaina were absolutely amazing. So warm, friendly, kind and funny. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Both ladies offered to take pictures of all the guests on the guests phones. They were both very attentive to our needs. We didn't like seafood so they didn't give us any. We also had a cheeky top up of prosecco. There was a great selection of teas to choose from. Our hot drinks came in a reusable plastic cup with a lid. This was helpful as our drinks didn't spill. This was a memento to take away with us. The bus was decorated so beautifully with flower garlands. It looked so pretty. I highly recommend this experience to anyone. Such a delightful time. Our driver, Fernando, was also such a lovely gentleman. We left a tip at the end of our afternoon as we feel they deserved it. Thank you for looking after us.
