Our guide Jay did an excellent job at guiding our group through the fascinating history of SoHo and the 4 places he had chosen for food & drinks (Indian, British, Chinese, Burmese and a cocktail bar). Each location represented a piece of history of SoHo. Food was tasty and interesting as well as the drinks. Jay was attentive and engaging. It was lovely to talk to people from other countries on the tour. I recommend this tour.”

Expect onboard cooking, English service, WiFi, a toilet, and an optional wine pairing. The route includes St. Paul’s, Tower Bridge, the Shard, Westminster, Trafalgar Square, and Piccadilly Circus.

“We really enjoyed our dinner bus tour. The food was good, the server was sweet (she could have used a little help at times), and the experience of having a lovely dinner on a moving bus was special. The only thing we would do differently is not purchase the wine pairing. There were several wines available, but only 3 courses had wine pairings and the wines were very average or below average. We would have preferred better wines and next time will buy a bottle or two of wine instead of doing the wine pairing. I must also compliment the company for finding my husband's jacket that he had left…”
