Fabulous Tour - Sheila had lots of great stories about the history of the sites. I learned so much! We had plenty of time to ask questions. Sheila also gave us suggestions for good restaurants nearby after we were done with our tour.

Great Tour, Knowledgeable Tour Guide, Expert Driver! - I enjoyed this tour immensely. I found the tour guide especially knowledgeable and personable. She gave us interesting information while driving to the destinations as well as when we were at the sites. I found the St. Paul Cathedral portion of particular interest. Lastly, just a word about the bus itself. It was clean, comfortable, and expertly driven by the driver. No small feat in the streets of London!

Great time - Even in the rain it was a great tour. Transportation was current and very clean. Bus driver polite and attentive. Tour guide was a hoot! Lots of knowledge with bits of information you would not have learned in any book. Coming off a transatlantic flight with little to no sleep a great way to see London!

Not worth the price! - The tour guide, Sheila, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable and very patient. We were here on a Sunday so we did not get a tour of Saint Paul's but we were able to get in and see it. We went to the Tower of London and that is where the bus left us. We went into the Tower and Sheila gave us an excellent description of the Tower and her favorite parts and then left us to explore on our own. The scenic boat ride of the Thames is a shuttle but the pilot gives a tour as you're traveling up the river. This did not feel like a good value for the money.

Pretty good - Parts of the tour were good, but the tour guide, David, pressed for a tip for about 15 minutes. The group was too large and it was difficult to find the guide at times because he said he could not use his flag.
