1.00The tour leader was very good and knowledgeable, However. The vehicle was horrible. There were awful fumes from the bus. There is no climate control so we were there in the heat, and the top part got even more fumes and was in the sun. The bus also was very bumpy and loud. - you literally drive by most sights and only quickly glimpse them except for the 2 stops.

5.00A great way to get an overview of the city. Tour guide, Magnus, was very knowledgeable. The only downside was on the River Thames portion. The windows were so dirty you couldn’t really see.
