ticketing - very easy to do and to use for all our reservations (3 - Frameless, the Eye, day tour) The guide for the day tour (Guided magic of London Tour with Afternoon tea at Harrods) was excellent. The bus was very confortable, and because we were the only ones going to Harrods, they took us with a private taxi to Harrods and up to the "Georgian".
