Buyer Beware - Horrible customer service!

The was a HUGE disappointment. We booked this tour months aga (from the US) and were looking forward to a great afternoon exploring London. We are staying in West End, and we called for a Taxi to take us to the meeting point, with an hour to spare. The first taxi advised that all streets to get to Victoria were closed due to Pride. I thought that maybe he was not positive or sure, so we tried 4 more car services. I called both Golden Tours and Head out (the booking app) with no help at all. I asked if we could reschedule for Sunday, and were told no. On top of the stern “no” from Golden tours - all of the taxi drivers told me, that they had no idea how we were going to all of the landmarks - because those roads were closed too. Based on the fact that the tour company made no attempt to pre-warn us or help once the issue was discovered, I would NOT recommend this tour company. Horrible customer service.

Food was delicious! Playlist was fire! Views were stunning! And the bus itself was super cute! My friends and I had a really lovely time.

Incredible girls day out

What an incredible experience and day out! Food was fantastic, accompanied by a variety of beverages. Bus was airconed, and staff were friendly and lovely. Music was on point, lots of sing alongs and a girls favourite. Would highly recommend and will be returning for another tour shortly again.
