Perfect for a romantic evening - Excellent welcome, very good dinner (seasoning to be refined though), London by night beautiful. Too bad there was a little too much drinking on the windows for almost half the route. Otherwise it was perfect.

Amazing experience - What a fantastic experience. We went with elderly parents as their Christmas Present. Did a complete London Christmas Lights dinner tour. The team were absolutely fantastic and the food was amazing, beautiful gourmet food and all dietary requirements supported. PJ the waiter did an amazing job. Great drinks and coffee too. Worth every penny, especially for the memories.
Thank you and well done.

Very good experience! - Unusual experience to do absolutely. We had a great time. We did it during the Christmas period, which made the experience even more magical. The waiters Ali and Jackson were very kind and attentive, and set a great atmosphere. We also thank the driver Marwa and the cook Khaled because we ate very well.
The French four.

Highlight of our London short trip - Great evening! Food excellent* (*= It is a bus...that the main courses
only arrived lukewarm = gift! Quality still very good.) All in all very
pleasantly surprised. Jackson and his colleague tried very hard. By
the "evergreens" and "sing along" of all guests at the end of the tour a great atmosphere on a very successful evening. The bus tour will be very much remembered,
therefore, despite the costs, a clear recommendation.

Awesome Tour - Ryan and Jackson were awesome! If the window fogged over, they were there to help clear it. They cared about the temperature of the food and the presentation. The food was great considering you are on a moving kitchen. Expected less to be honest because I can't imagine how difficult it is to prepare food in such a manor. Sites were great. Had a lot of room and a fabulous time. Wine was good too. Highly suggest doing this!

Brilliant evening - We were given this as a gift by friends and it was a brilliant evening. Everything was first rate - excellent food and drink, comfortable table, brilliant views from high up above the traffic and through the glass roof as well (this makes quite a difference as you go past tall sights), and flawless service from the waiter Alex. We were really surprised it wasn't full - if you are looking for a treat in London and a great way to enjoy the sights then we'd highly recommend this.

Not what we expected - It was an interesting experience.
Positive: Most of the food was well cooked and delicious. The views were nice but limited since it was raining on the night we did the tour. The music was festive and the staff (Jackson and Mary) were lovely and very professional.
Negatives: Our bus was 20 minutes late so we were left waiting in the rain. The tables were very cramped so if you're a heavy person, it gets tight and uncomfortable. There was no place to hang coats/bags so we had to accommodate them within the already limited space.
For the sight seeing part, if you don't have earphones, you're doomed since there are no announcements on the bus. There is an app that you can scan which has a map that you can monitor but between the network issues and personal conversations, monitoring it is difficult and it wasn't always accurate. The commentary was brief and it does take you away from your conversation. Additionally, if you're not from London, you won't recognize the sights and will miss most things, as we did.
Now the food, one person on our table got one of the main courses with a lot of sauce while the others didn't get any and were served dry dishes. Our rice was undercooked as well.
Water was dropping on my brother's head from the side. He was sitting by the window.
Lastly, and completely not their fault but there was a big group at the back who were very loud, making it difficult for everyone else on the bus to have a conversation. Maybe there should be a polite indication to people that they need to keep their volumes down, especially in an enclosed small space where there are other people trying to enjoy their anniversaries or birthdays.
Overall, I think it is overpriced for the service they provide. We could have had a Michelin meal in an ambient setting in this price range.

Top 5 reasons NOT to do this tour - This was definitely an over promise, under deliver type of experience for me. Here are the top 5 reasons you should not do it
1) the “tour” part is an audio recording that does not audibly tell you when you are close to something. You have to watch your phone for the blue dot (if you can even get it to work on your phone). Awful - missed almost everything
2) the food was not good. Tuna tartare was room temp and mushy. Steak was hard to cut and chew.
3) the bus steamed up inside so you couldn’t see out the windows or take good pics
4) even if you wiped down the windows, there was such a reflection (dark outside the bus and light inside) that all you could see in picture was what was inside the bus superimposed on any sights. I deleted all my pics
5) the wine pairing was delicious but the serving size was small (champagne was a third of a glass). Probably more cost effective to just pay for drinks a la carte
The only good thing about this was the staff. They were great. Went above and beyond to make a terrible trip into a bearable trip
