This was worth the money. We didn't do the extra just the bus and boat.. we saw a lot more than we expected

We loved this tour! Very knowledgeable guide, saw all the places - palace, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Parliament, etc. We went across several bridges, and took a nice cruise on the River. Don’t skip the London Eye ride, well worth it!

We were on a crunch with just one day to explore London, and picked this tour to see it all. We enjoyed our tour guide Elisa and our driver Sean. We saw Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, did a boat tour on the Thames, and a changing of the guard ceremony. Elisa was witty and had lots of interesting history to tell us about, and Sean was a safe and efficient driver. Later we transitioned to another bus out to Stone Henge. Our new driver (sorry not to remember his name) was professional and got us there safely on a long adventure. Would highly recommend this tour!

I sat at the back of the bus up top and was able to hear the guide without issue. It was a well done tour that hit the highlights of London - exactly what I was looking for as I was only in London for a day! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a well-informed broad overview of London and its history.
