Good combo package. Started with a bus tour of the city then changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace before free time for lunch. The afternoon included a walking tour at the Tower of London plus free time to explore on our own and finally a Thames River cruise. Excellent tour guide. Cruise drop off point by the London Eye makes it convenient to continue exploring on your own.

We enjoyed the tour but were unable to see everything at the tower due to lack of time. The changing of the guard was not scheduled so the tour guide took us to watch the horse guards practice for the upcoming queen's birthday. At the end of the tour our guide hooked us up with another guide to get a ride back to the city. This guide was very animated and gave my grandson a chance to practice at being a tour guide. This was something my grandson will not forget-thank you.

With time constraints you stand in line a long time only to get a glimpse of the crown jewels or see the changing of the guard for too long. The cruise was relaxing but I don't remember if I had tea. : It was great having out tour guide fetch our tickets for the London Eye as the line to pay was just as long as the line to get onto it - that saved us lots of time! If you're looking for a quick overview tour, this is worth the money.

Very good tour, recommend it. Our guide, John, was funny and entertaining throughout the day's stops: Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, and Thames Cruise. We took the London Eye upgrade and were really glad we did - great views and some nice pics of the city. In addition to seeing all the major sights, John provided many tips and explained all we were seeing along the bus route. Things to know: 1. We took this tour on Sunday and therefore we couldn't get into Westminster or St. Pauls. 2. There really wasn't anywhere to stop to use a restroom until about midday which was an issue for some on the trip. 3. Take the suggestion for fish and chips at Tower of London, in the restaurant near the plaza. 4. Be prepared for queues...we waited quite a while at the Tower of London to get in and see the Crown Jewels. We had just enough time to buzz through the armory, but that was about it. 5. You will not really be close enough to see much at changing of the guard. Try to get close to the street to see the guards parade in if you can, but don't expect to see the actual change. Go back later on your own when the crowds are down to get a picture of Buckingham Palace. Overall, I would recommend this trip and John as a guide.

Amazing guide and knowledgeable guide. However, a few of us got left behind afte the Cruise and didnt know how we can proceed with the Harrods Cream Tea part. Sad that we missed it.

This tour provided a nice overview of London and our guide was knowledgeable and fun. However, the tour felt a bit rushed and I was hoping to see more of Westminster Abbey. As wonderful as St. Paul's Cathedral is, I felt that part of the tour was too long and the time could have been better allocated. I would recommend this tour to first-time London visitors, but repeat visitors would be better off with more site-specific tours or self-exploring.

What a perfect introduction to the city. We covered a lot of territory and saw so many of the major sights and our guide was very knowledgeable. We were really pleased that there was a good amount of walking involved instead of just riding round on a bus. Speaking of which, kudos to our bus driver navigating narrow streets with LOTS of traffic. Nerves of steel!!

Great way to see London in a day. This covered all the highlighted. Adding the Harrods tea was a lovely way to end the day.

Amazing full day of the wonderful London sites! Our tour guide, David, was an absolute pleasure to be with and provided us all with the history and special facts for each and every stop. Our family of seven from 11 years old to our 3 seniors enjoyed every location and felt that there was enough time at each to enjoy and take in all the beautiful sites. Would highly recommend this tour to first time visitors. Remember to ask for David....he was wonderful!

Claudia was SUPER knowledgeable about the city. Wish we had done the Tower of London first as the line to see the crown jewels was massive and we only had a hour of free time to look around. Had a great time!!

Amazing Sightseeing Tour! Our guide, John Ashton was so funny and so knowledgable. We were lucky to get John as our guide.. this was the best tour we went on!
Review by: Daniel, March 2018
Great way to experience the city in a day. Like any tour there is never enough time but at least this gives you the base to start with, so on your free days in the city you can go back thoroughly should you decide to. Very knowledgable tour guide, plenty of ground covered and more importantly, fun. Highly recommended and a beautiful city!
