Take this tour and enjoy the hospitality

Published on Mar, 2025

We took this tour because we only had one day to see London. We made a great choice! Our guide, John, was so knowledgeable, very friendly, helpful and professional. He REALLY knows what he’s doing! The Vintage bus is beautiful and the driver, Shawn, is very sweet and always smiling. We took the bus, river tour and fish and chips option. The river cruise was beautiful and the “non guide” ( a different John) was hilarious. We ran out of time for the fish and chips, but managed to gulp down one of the beers brewed by the pub. We had to get back to the train station and asked our bartender, Eleanor, to call us a can. She told us that the black cabs were so busy at that time of day that she would order us an uber. She even walked us out to the car and invited us back. It was a great experience!
