⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic London Bus Tour – Dominic Was Brilliant! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastic London Bus Tour – Dominic Was Brilliant! We had such a brilliant time on the Golden Tours open-top bus in London! There were two adults and two children in our group, and we sat right at the back on the top deck in the gorgeous sunshine – the perfect way to see London. Our tour guide, Dominic, absolutely made the experience. He was hilarious from start to finish, with brilliant jokes that had both the adults and kids laughing. He was also incredibly knowledgeable about London and all the sights we passed, but delivered everything in such a fun and entertaining way that the two-hour tour flew by. The kids absolutely loved it, and we got to see so many of London’s famous sights along the way. If you’re doing a Golden Tours open-top bus tour, ask for Dominic if you can! Such a lovely, funny and knowledgeable man who clearly enjoys what he does. Thoroughly recommend – Dominic deserves a pay rise! 😂👏

Emma made it very enjoyable - Emma our tour guide was fantastic. I’ll do another tour again just so I can hear her. She was so knowledgeable (you can tell she loves the city). Have lived in London for about 20 years so used to most of the sites but came out with visiting family and Emma still made me want to come back. Her friendly nature and knowledge made the trip very enjoyable. A real asset to the company 👌🏾

City tour - We today did the tour round York and were fortunate enough to have Mick as our live guide.He was very knowledgeable and funny.We learnt new things from him having been on the tour before with the prerecorded guide.He was amazing remembering places and dates for the whole trip.Our driver Ian was very friendly and a very good driver negotiating narrow roads with lorries parked in some places.The seller Sarah was helpful and friendly. I noticed her Irish twang and having Irish great grandparents could have chatted longer.They all made our day really special as we are celebrating our golden wedding in York. If you want to see all the sights this beautiful city has to offer,take a ride on the buses.The price is competitive too as a ticket lasts 24 hours.
