Traveler reviews
Review
Zozo was guide and puetro driver They were great
Fun guide and great views and unexpected boat ride
The tour guide, Maria, and bus driver, Sean, were absolutely wonderful! Maria was very knowledgeable and answered all my follow-up questions and Sean was super skilled navigating us through the very congested streets. The boat ride on the Thames was an unexpected delight. We were also running a couple of minutes late and they reached out to check on us and made sure we were still able to depart on time.
A GREAT WAY TO SEE THE HEART OF LONDON
We had a great time on our LONDON VINTAGE BUS TOUR, which was capped off with a wonderful tea at HARRODS...we also had a short boat ride on the Thames. It was a terrific way to see many places in a short time, some places we wouldn't be able to get to otherwise, on our short visit. Our guide was warm and witty, and filled with good information and our bus, when stopped, was often a part of selfies taken from tourists on the street.
Highly recommended Westminster Abbey guided tour.
The activity selection does not reflect the tour we’ve undertaken today. We actually took the Westminster Abbey guided tour with morning tea. Having taking a self guided tour many years ago, undertaking the guided tour is a much more immersive experience. Our guide ZoZo was very knowledgeable and engaging. His presentation interspersed with some humorous quips made the tour so much more enjoyable. A great day highly recommended.
Amazing way to see London!
Oh my god where to begin!!! This tour was everything!!! To start the bus is a gorgeous vintage bus that we had almost entirely to ourselves! Our your guide Magnus knew so much history and pointed out so many historical buildings and sites. Beautiful and comprehensive way to see the city with stops at Buxkingham palace, St Paul’s, a Thames River cruise, cross the Tower Bridge and finally we finished with an absolutely amazing tea at Harrods. I was able to take so many gorgeous pictures, learn so much history and my kids had fun too. Do this early during your stay so you can scope out where to come back to. I can’t say enough good things!!!
