Fantastic festive fun! - Absolutely loved this! Beautifully themed bus, excellent staff, delicious food, great selection of drinks. Takes longer than an hour because of traffic so bear this in mind if you have a later event to attend. Recommend the mulled wine!

Snowman bus tour - If you go on this tour don't book downstairs. We did and we were seated behind each other. Visibility is poor out of the windows. Luckily it was only an hour. Unfortunately we had a very aggressive driver which was upsetting but more upsetting is when Golden Tours customer service pretty much accused me of making it up. I expect if they leave an answer to this review it will be disparaging of us. The staff on the bus were nice but customer services are not up to par.
Buy a small picnic and take the 139 instead. Lots cheaper!

Rather flat and non atmospheric - We were so looking forward to this but it ended up rather flat and a bit of an anti climax. There wasn’t really a Christmas atmosphere and the people serving whilst smiling really didn’t seem to be that happy. The music played was a little loud but that’s just personal preference. Ok when everyone was singing along but not enough sing a long songs played. My grandsons didn’t recognise many to be able to sing along. The food was more than adequate especially the cakes and scones. Snowball was heavily watered down however. Seeing the lights without having to battle crowds was fun

Very disappointed - Very disappointed
It was very cold and the bus was late we were told to arrive at 4:45 we had a call at £5:20 to say they had trouble with the bus it arrived a little after 5:30 by this time we were very cold
The staff were lovely and apologised
I did think we would have been offered hot drinks straightaway but we weren’t
We were given the cranberry spritz we had ordered which were flat
My husband glass was cracked and I didn’t drink mine
The hot drinks came which were lukewarm
I won’t be booking a tea bus tour again
