We were looking for a London Bus tour that passed all the major sights and had a real person as a Guide and this hit the mark 10/10. Our guide Emma was knowledgeable and entertaining and really made us feel like Londoners!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your London Half Day Guided Sightseeing Tour and that Emma’s knowledge and entertaining commentary made your experience so memorable. It’s fantastic to know the tour gave you the chance to see the major sights while feeling like a true Londoner. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Emma and hope to welcome you back again soon!
We joined the tour at 8am and drove towards Buckingham Palace (5 minutes away) and stayed for 1.5 hours. From there, we went to St Paul's Cathedral and stayed until 1130am. Basically, this tour only consists of seeing two things for $90 a person. Not a good value at all. Try a different tour. This was very disappointing.
I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. It can be frustrating when a tour feels rushed or lacks variety, especially when the cost doesn’t seem to match the value. Spending so much time at just two locations and not getting to see more attractions for the price paid is definitely disappointing. Thank you for sharing your feedback; it’s helpful for others to know what to expect. Would you recommend a different type of tour, or do you have any specific suggestions on how this one could have been improved to offer better value?
We were able to see some of London's highlights in a short time, including Westminster Abbey and Tower Bridge. We received extra information from Emma, a friendly and convivial guide. Thanks for the stories and your coziness Emma!
