Very bad experience

1.00Worst tour I've ever been on. Hardly any "guiding," 10 minutes of history, repeated in Spanish. We were taken to Kings College, then left on our own for an hour and a half, told to get lunch and find a bathroom. I was 2 minutes late for the bus and it left without me. I'm in my mid 70's and found my way back to London on the train and realized I actually didn't miss much. The bus was quite uncomfortable and there just was so little information imparted. I am sorry I spent so much, including the additional fees. There's too much driving and too little time spent, especially with no guidance. I was not aware that it was a bilingual tour, which meant we all had to listen to the same short history in two languages. Bad idea. It was the worst tour by far I've ever taken, and I've taken a number of Viator tours which were always good. I do NOT recommend.
