The enthusiasm of the tour guides, Zia and Chris, was contagious. Everyone had a great time learning about the Shard its uses, how it came to be buiilt, and the Opening Day Mascot, Romeo. Thank you for a great day, and as Zia and Chris remarked, the toilets are beautifully located..... Cheers, DH & KH Ottawa ON Canada

Going up toward sunset gives you a chance to see the view in natural light first is the thousands of night lights later. Beautiful is the glimpse toward the sky garden
