5.00Fun, informative. Excellent guide. My family enjoyed the Christmas Lights Tour of London. I would recommend it.
Don’t trust them with your credit card information. I was charged for eight tickets instead of two.

1.00They charged me for eight tickets instead of two. The website said the transaction couldn’t be completed. Then I was charged multiple times for a single purchase. I spoke with the tour operator the day of the tour. She assured me everything would be corrected when I contacted customer service. However, they refused to refund the fraudulent charges and resolve the issue. Don’t trust them with your credit card information.
