Vintage history tour - Very interesting tour in a piece of bus history. Johnny our tour guide gave a lot of new information I hadn’t heard on other tours made a few years ago.

B-type bus tour. Superb step back in time - great fun! - This was a BRILLIANT way to spend an afternoon. Our group of four are all London residents and had a superb time. It's not often you can ride on a 1910s bus around London and we really enjoyed ourselves - our guide Lola was excellent - teaching us things we didn't know with great humour. We passed so many landmarks: River Thames, Piccadilly Circus, Houses of Parliqment, Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Borough Market, St Paul's Cathedral, Downing Street and more. I'd thoroughly recommend the B-Type bus tour to anyone. It was a wonderful way to while away a sunny afternoon in London.

Jay is an excellent guide, and a very good advisor to strangers. - Arrive early to get the very good seats. Have a bottle of water with you. It was a very pleasant visit and well explained.

Good tour and a great, enjoyable guide. - The tour allows you to see a lot of London and is well suited to anyone who may have difficulty with extended walking. You hear about so much more than what is highlighted in the tour summary, interesting things you would go right past and never know. Our guide was Johnnie….he was outstanding and made the tour well worth taking.

Good Fun - I booked on the flash offer for the replica B-Type that was going on Saturday 24th May, we left at 10:30am. It was only a small group turn out, just me and 3 others up top , but it was such a delight - especially for the enthusiast like myself. I have to give big ups to the driver and also the nice tour guide girls (forgot your names, sorry!) that , bless, had to shout their commentary across the deck and deal with the fact the bus was having gearbox troubles which occasionally gave quite a jerk! Nevertheless, the experience was still great, learned all sorts of cool facts and even funny ones too like e.g.; Churchill's face on the clock of Bracken House. Just remember, It's all part of the fun and gives an authentic 1912 experience so the key is to hold tight and remember you become part of the attraction, so don't be camera shy. Overall, a good way to start the day, and LB is one one of the companies keeping the vintage scene alive on the streets of London.

Wonderful tour guide and old bus - Paul was a wonderful tour guide, terrific factual info mixed with a lovely friendly attitude. We are so happy we took this tour. This view from the open top Routemaster is unbeatable and I’ve learned so much more! Price was very competitive and within 90 or so minutes we had seen all the important landmarks I think - which was good for us as we were only in London for the weekend and it was so sunny!!

Great tour and an excellent Guide - This was an excellent tour. It was well organised and well run, but most of all, it was made really special by the quality and enthusiasm of the on-bus guide. Well worth the money. Thanks guys.

There was so much... - There was so much traffic, we were at a standstill for a lot of the ride. I had a difficult time hearing the driver, I was sitting up top, maybe that was the issue. If there was no traffic, would have been much more interesting.

Bus not found - My companion and I spontaneously wanted to book this sightseeing tour two days before the booked date. After booking, the money was debited, but it was not specified where this tour should start. I looked everywhere, even in the columns provided for this no starting point or at least an exact route with times could be found. All we knew was that we were leaving at 12:30. Through research I found the place in the photo but there is no trace of the bus. For me I just gave away 60€ together with my companion...
