The whole tour was great. Derek was an excellent guide! Apparently I have to type 100 words. Not much else to say. I highly recommend.

Derek our guide was phenomenal! Extremely knowledgeable, so friendly, took care of us well. It was a great tour and I don’t think we could have squeezed all of that in on our own. I highly recommend! Also Carlos our driver was great too!

Very unorganized and confusing The tour did not deliver as it was described in the itinerary. Too many people(53) and a large bus with the bus driver that didn’t really know how to operate busy London streets We missed St Paul’s entry which was the highlight of this tour

Had to miss St. Paul’s Cathedral and was told we’d get a refund but received a credit of $16.00–for 2 people is this correct?? I’d rather have the money back and think refund seems low!!! William Abercrombie
