London Private Tour

Our tour was advertised as 4 hours ..but we were brought back to our hotel 45 minutes early . At a cost of close to $400 , that was not ok with us . One reason we chose this tour was to see the changing of the guards as advertised ..but were told there was no access to the palace . We did eventually go there though ..we had to park and walk a bit, but that was fine with us ..so there was access -but we missed changing of the guards . Do not expect the itinerary or timing to be accurate ..at least it wasn’t for us .
