For the cruise, there was a problem with the boat we were supposed to take so we had to spend another half hour waiting in line(after already waiting that long or more). The worker that was in charge of the line was very rude to the crowd of people waiting when she told us what was happening. I think it was handled very poorly and unprofessional.

I really liked the experience and the fact that it included the river trip. The only thing is that I felt cheated with the tours. No one had told me that they were without a guide. You had to go on your own. Anyway I recommend doing the bus route and the Rio tour.

I found the audio guide very funny. But we were not informed that the red line was not available every day. At the Tower of London stop, after waiting the bus left without stopping, leaving a number of customers stranded and we had to wait for more than 20 minutes. The frequency of buses on Monday was so low that I opted for the public bus.

Bus ride was fine except for the drop off for Ferry as it was at one end of the bridge while entrance to the Ferry was at the other end and so we had to walk. It would have been better to have the dropoff at the Ferry end itself. Further, timing details of the ferry were not provided and so we wasted quite a bit of time waiting after arriving at the ferry terminal.
