The tour guide was so informative and funny - making it fascinating to be told all the facts as we passed the many landmarks. I honestly think his cockney commentary made the trip!! In one tour - we got to see and learn so much about London. Thankfully we had lovely weather and we all thoroughly enjoyed our excursion to Greenwich.

So easy to book and very reasonable in price. The app makes it so easy to view your booking and ticket. It’s easy to find and board. The crew are very hopeful and funny. The tour information provided by the crew is very interesting. It’s nice to have some change to tip them if you want to.
