Wonderful night with the kids

Published on Feb, 2025

What a wonderful but cold experience. Wrap up warm. Colin (very smoothly drives you around) and Tim entertains you with his incredible knowledge. Thank you for everything.

Emma is the best

Published on Jan, 2025

This tour was great and having Emma as our guide was the best. Don't bother with the audio plug in thing unless you are not an English speaker - listening to Emma is much, much better. In addition to the general tour stuff, she will let you know when the best photo ops are about to happen and share some of her own family history.

Nice intro to the lights around London

Published on Jan, 2025

Nice way to quickly orient yourself around the city and the lights! However, there are definitely some lights that you can't see on the buses, and you are better off walking around to see them all. I went on the bus, and then went for a wander afterwards. Definitely gave a great view of the angels. Positively, the buses only put people on the upper decks (which was great from a view perspective). Not bad, but an FYI that that the buses did not leave at the set times I had booked. You will get on a bus, but they just have everyone queue and you get on the next bus that arrives. In fact, I left a few minutes before my set time (important to keep in mind if you are meeting others in a group).
