What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the knowledgeable drivers and flexible routes; some say the advertised list of sights is too much to cover.

Praised

  • Knowledgeable drivers explain London's history with stories and humour
  • Routes are tailored to personal interests and requested stops
  • Major landmarks are combined with less familiar shops, streets and sights
  • Drivers accommodate limited mobility and reduce the walking between sights
  • Drivers suggest photo spots and take pictures for guests

Complaints

  • Some could not see all the advertised sights and felt too much time went to individual stops
