Skip this tour, not worth it.
We joined the tour at 8am and drove towards Buckingham Palace (5 minutes away) and stayed for 1.5 hours. From there, we went to St Paul's Cathedral and stayed until 1130am. Basically, this tour only consists of seeing two things for $90 a person. Not a good value at all. Try a different tour. This was very disappointing.

Nice experience!
We were able to see some of London's highlights in a short time, including Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge. We received extra information from Emma, a friendly and convivial guide. Thanks for the stories and your coziness Emma!
