Traveler reviews
Great Tour with London Eye Option
Tour guide was very knowledgeable and headsets were clear to listen to her stories. Of course, old buildings are hot in the summer. Bring a personal fan for comfort. Priority access to London Eye is a must add on. We waited about 15 min to get on in the fast track line but the regular line looked miserable in the hot sun.
Two hours of facts and fun
We met Fran,our guide in the Westminster coffee shop for coffee and pastries before the tour began. We had a group of 11 people. Fran was engaging, polite, fun and full of information about Westminster Abbey. My girls are 16 years of age and they loved the tour, the science corner and the poets corner, it was fabulous. Would highly recommend Fran who also has Irish connections and was thrilled to chat and engage with everyone in the group. He ensured we asked questions whenever we liked and he answered them all with gusto. Great job. Thank you. Sue
Eyeful adventure
Anna tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. We met for coffee/tea / pastries before the tour started. Wonderful to get preliminary info & headsets while seated. Even though it was crowded she waited for everyone in her group to catch up. Digital headsets were very clear. Since we were seniors, Mesna met us at the beginning and returned to walk us to the London Eye. She helped us get upgraded tickets for the Aquarium. She pointed out other things to do like theater etc. it was a well organized tour all around.
Frank is a great tour guide
Frank was very thorough and kept the tour interesting and together.
Skip the Tea
We started the tour with croissants and tea. No refills on the tea and they only had 3 croissants for 6 people. It was your average croissant. No other items offered. We then proceeded to do tour Westminster Abbey. Our guide provided humor and history of the people buried in the Abbey. It was hot inside and very crowded. Many people do the walking tour and are not aware of their surroundings making it hard to follow our guide. All in all I enjoyed the tour and seeing the inside.
