This was a fantastic tour! We only had one day in London. We saw so many things on this tour. Never would have got to all of these on our own. Our guide George was THE BEST!

Excellent tour, great division of time on your own versus time with guide. Danny did a great job of informing and was helpful with suggestions based on individual interests. Meeting Coordination was smooth and effirtless

This is a five out of five tour. The best part of it was the walking portion in my experience. I think that it would be good to have more time at the tower, and a little bit more time or explanation of the architecture during our boat, right but the best part was the walking portion. Thank you, Sue.
