Worth the price and easy. Process was simple. Loved the easy in and out.
Dreadful experience of Premium Tours, they should be ashamed. Booked a tour for my parents, which was cancelled by the operator a few days before - twice. Both times the company cited 'operational issues'. On both occasions, my parents had already purchased train tickets to central London in order to join the tour, meaning that they are almost £100 out of pocket. When I raised this with Premium Tours, they refused to compensate and instead suggested that my parents should have used the train tickets to go sightseeing (twice). I felt as though I wasn't taken seriously.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, Alice. We are very sorry for the disappointment caused by having to cancel your parents' tour on two occasions. As explained in our previous email communication, the activity provider's terms and conditions, which also apply to us as the tour operator, state that they cannot be held liable for any costs incurred as a result of a cancellation or postponement. We did our best to offer alternative tour options on the day, but unfortunately, none of the available options were suitable. Once again, we are sincerely sorry for the disappointment caused. Kind regards, Premium Tours Team
Zozo was amazing tour guide, excellent overview and very knowledgable and also professional.
I took the inner circle tour to Stonehenge + Bath. The experience at Stonehenge is incredible! Our guide Eva did a great job during the day along Bath and Lacock. Congratulations to Eva and Mo for this great experience!
Great experience with Lovely Lisa and great driver Shaun.
The best tour is great. I wouldn’t have added the boat. If I known it was gonna be less than 30 minutes I would do the bus again, but not the boat.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with Premium Tours. We’re delighted you enjoyed the bus tour. While the optional boat ride is under 30 minutes, it does cover the most iconic highlights along the Thames and adds a different perspective of London’s landmarks. Kind regards, Premium Tours Team
Fun bus ride through London with an awesome guide. It was a great day and I enjoyed sitting on the top of the double decker!
This was the highlight of our trip! We saw all of the major London attractions with a knowledgeable, helpful, and informative guide (John) who told interesting stories about thehistory of London. And also included the beautiful ride on the Thames River with fish and chips at the Jagged Hare after the tour. Lots of great picture opportunities!
Got to see lots of amazing london sights on the tour bus as well as on the boat. Tour guide was very good and enjoyable to listen to!
The whole tour was great from start to finish. Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. We chose a pub supper after tour, the Jugged Hare Pub was a great place, good food and very accommodating staff. I would recommend this tour for first time UK visitors. Thank you
