Yvonne – New ZealandSeptember 2, 2023 – Verified booking
The two of us had a great day seeing the sights and managed to do all 3 tours. Slight hiccup on the second tour as we had no sound, but once we transferred to a bus with sound it was fine. Did not know that the buses were not allowed to drive in certain areas, so it was disappointing that we didn't get a good view of Buckingham Palace. I thought more could have been said about Westminster Abbey but as so much happens in a small area there perhaps there wasn't enough time in the commentary to say more. Top marks to the friendly tour bus controller who comes from Kracow (sorry I don't remember your name). We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him, and his help arranging the replacement bus. You are a real asset to the business and a thoroughly nice person

this was a great way to tackle all the sights in one day and get aquatinted with London. Our only complaint was with the timing of the audio and the sights - often the audio would stop mid description and jump to the next location off two sights were very close to each other. there were often lengthy silences which could have been better utilized for the upcoming sights to avoid the conflicts. our drivers were very helpful in answering all of our questions and helping us with advice on getting around and shipping tips! would recommend for first timers to London.

Overall good. The tour also passed through many "fringe" areas. It wasn't nice that the explanation from the tape was always interrupted when interesting facts were started. The driver was probably too fast because she had to take several breaks.
