5.00We added on the London Eye experience after the bus and water tour. We were under the impression from the first guide we were being taken back to the station where the tour started but instead we had to get a cab to take us back to our hotel after the London Eye experience Future clients need to be aware that they are own their own once they get off the London Eye
See it All!!!!!!
