Good circuits, pleasant customer service. Having some upstairs option undercover a good idea. Having a pick up outside the station very helpful. On the bad side: Low quality ear buds, some brand new ones not working. Some sound outlets also not working, meaning that you have to change seats to get a working outlet. This email is incorrect as we did NOT book a river cruise as time did not permit.

We absolutely loved this experience. The bus stops were very conveniently located and the buses came quite often. There was a lovely audio tour on the bus and free headphones to listen with. The tour gave lots of interesting facts about the sights we were passing. The tour guides were pleasant and careful drivers. We will definitely use the company again when we return to London!

Really helpful staff, however couldn't find the QR code on the river cruise to listen to the commentary, and couldn't find the headsets for the commentary on the bus. Bus route diversion due to local challenges wasn't explained so not sure if we went past what we wanted to see. Otherwise, a good trip and would do it again.

    The boat trip was very nice. The bus trips were often too long due to the high volume of traffic. Otherwise everything was fine.

    Plenty of stops and helpful roadside staff on the yellow line were a godsend On a wet Saturday in London there were many problems on the roads and the drivers were terrible. Stair hatches not closed and leaking downstairs windows and doors made it miserable. Drivers were not engaging, drove with both excessive speed and heavy braking, and too much horn. One driver on blue route between Harrods and Marble Arch had his head covered by his hoodie the whole time, did not wait for people to sit down before moving and said nothing. He should not be doing this job!
