Great value, great time spent and great fun!

What a delightful way to see the sights in London! Our tour guide (older gentleman with silver hair carrying a pink duster) was funny, knowledgeable, and really cared that us tourists went away with a positive view of the city. It also helped that the weather was absolutely PERFECT. The company as a whole seemed pretty well organized based on my dealings with them and watching them in action at the bus station.
Truly Amazing!

Derek the guide and Jermaine the driver were absolutely amazing start to finish. Derek is so lovely and knowledgeable and you can totally tell his heart is into this tour from start to finish. Loads of photos taken that you would never just stumble across locations. We also went on Jack the ripper tour same evening with Derek as our guide...amazing bloke! Thanks so much.

A royal day. Changing of the guard was so dramatic. The state rooms just stunning and the river cruise so scenic. Enjoyed the Buckingham cafe for tea and dessert and picked up a darling welsh corgi keyring.
Fantastic value

Excellent tour. Gavin our guide was exceptional. He made a drama of the whole experience. His knowledge of London and delivery of it was incredible, entertaining, and most enjoyable for the whole family.
This is a great way to get a taste of all the main attractions in central London in a couple of hours. Included was a trip up the Thames giving an alternative view at all the attractions.
The changing of the guard as a spectacle was fantastic and enriched by Gavin’s commentary not only for ourselves in his group but for all in earshot.
Thanks for a wonderful day today.
