Best of London Champagne Sightseeing Bus: LE GRAND Panorama & Bubbles

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

Stepping aboard LE GRAND in central London feels like entering a moving drawing room: plush armchairs align with floor-to-ceiling windows while the River Thames glints and dares you to look away. The city slips past — Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament — each landmark paced by the murmur of a multi-language audio guide and the clink of two complimentary glasses of champagne.
