London Eye view - Milton was our tour guide and Armando our driver. Both did an excellent job. We saw all the sights in the package and Milton was very knowledgeable about each place. It was a great tour for my first trip to London.

Great way to get the lay of the land - Best way to spend our first day in London. Anthony at the wheel driving and Emma guiding and giving us the insiders scoop on this great city. We loved having a live guide, rather than headphones on. It really personalized the experience. I would highly recommend!

Best Intro to London! - This was our first tour on our visit to London. It was a great way to experience a little bit of all we would end up seeing. Definite highlights were Morton, our guides insights. He gave us great detail and gave us tips throughout. We loved the changing of the guard, and Tower of London most of all. All was so well coordinated.

Great if you can find the departure point. - Tour was great, finding the departure point was horrible, almost missed it, your directions to it were very sketchy, keep in mind that most of your customers are not that familiar with London.

Very full tour - This excursion was more than expected. We went to Buckingham Palace early in the day. There no crowds. It was so nice to have the time to take pictures without people around. When we went to the Palace later in the day it had wall to wall people to watch the changing of the guards.
We almost missed the parade for the changing of the guards. We had to run to get to the watching crowd. That was frustrating.
We went to the Tower of London which was very interesting. Lots of history of beheading which was morbid. We had the best mini guide with beefeater, Wayne.
The London Eye was wonderful to see London's beautiful scenery.
Eileen, our guide was great. Kee, the driver, was the best. The tour could have had 1 last activity for the day. Sometimes it seems like we were packing in too much in.

Disappointing tour guide - Our tour guide, Tish, was more worried about getting ahead of schedule and finishing early that she ran from point to point and did not care that she was leaving the group behind. We managed to stay with the pack but she would run ahead and then have to double back to find slower members of the group. We arrived too early for our river cruise and had to wait 30 extra minutes in line instead of enjoying it eating or shopping.
