A must do tour in London - Tour was excellent and our tour guide was very knowledgable of important details of the City of London history. Visits to Saint Paul Cathedral, the White Tower, London Eye, and the walking tour outside of the House of Parlament, Buckinham Palace and Westminster Abbey were truly amaizing. For first time visitors to London, is a must do.

Great way to see London in a day - We only had one full day to experience London. This excursion was the best way to see the highlights. Our guide was excellent. The Eye (add on at the end of tour) was worth the money. Glad we did that as well

Great tour and tour guide! - It’s a long day, but you get to see so much. Our guide, Karen, was wonderful! She was knowledgeable, kind and funny. She made the long day go by in the blink of an eye! She also made great recommendations for restaurants and future places to visit.

Tour of London - We had a great day and our tour guide Zozo. Was fun and really had a lot of good information to share wi th us . The coach was comfortable although it would’ve been nice to have been in a double-decker bus as we went by many of the sites. We loved our visits to Saint Paul’s, Buckingham Palace and especially to the tower of London. In each of these places to listen to Zozo, and also to explore on our own. We had a great day!

The Best of London is a great tour! - It was our 2nd time doing this tour & once again Frank was our guide (he is awesome). It is a great tour. From Buckingham Palace to St Paul’s Cathedral we learned and saw things we missed on the first tour 3 years ago. The changing of the guard was a highlight. The weather was very nice and our group was just as nice! I would skip the tea at Herrods. We enjoyed it the last time but they have revamped the program. We were on the very warm terrace and while the champagne was nice one can only enjoy one cup of hot tea. The staff did not seem pleased to serve us. That was the only somewhat negative reaction we had on our two week holiday.

Lots of London in a single day! - We had such a knowledgeable and entertaining guide! He was easy to keep up with and always looked for the shady spots! Our guide would clearly explain where we were going, what we would see, and make recommendations on how to spend our free time.
