The trip set off half an hour late. Then towards the end of the journey the announcer who’s name was Ian slipped in we wouldn’t be getting dropped off at the departure point and turned out to be a 30 min walk from the point of departure at green park. Not an explanation or an apology and at the time everyone thought he was joking and was just a tongue in cheek comment. It clearly states on your brochure will be dropped off at the departure point. We were on the 21:15 pm tour and suffering from a leg injury wouldn’t have booked this knowing we weren’t to return to green park departure point due to this we incurred extra cost in returning to our hotel the Washington. When asked why we were been dropped approx 500 yards from outside Charing Cross station his answer was because this is where you are getting dropped. Wrong line go get back to where we started.Seriously not happy about having to pay for a taxi.
Great experience, easy to find, very entertaining, wonderful history of the city. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and funny.
