Royal London Guided Sightseeing Tour And Thames River Cruise

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and thorough and our driver was safe, overall a great experience.

The tour guide Sheila was amazing. She kept us all very engaged with very good information about the tour. We also did the Stonehenge and Bath Tour with Sheila. She is a very good tour guide. 100% recommended her.

Our tour guide was amazing. I cannot remember her name unfortunately. She knew all the history of the Royals and the landmarks around London. One of the best tours ever.

You can do this on your own and save lot of money on a city tour, we missed the meeting time because the weather and they didn’t even let us meet up with the group, they give one way cruise and you have to find your way back, we did more ourself didn’t need to pay ridiculous money, everything is right there in the city just get a map and hop on and off city bus make sure to get the red not the blue bus

Tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about London history. However, tour does not include a scheduled boat tour. Received 2 passes for water and you have to go online and schedule it yourself. Since I only scheduled one day in London, that was not feasible.

Our guide Ruth and driver Idrris were great. Very pleasant and filled us with a lot of information. It was a great way to spend a few hours that we had in London. Booking, payment, and check in process was fast and efficient.

Staff unhelpful, requested to upgrade to window seat but refused, as the boat sailed people changed seating without challenge!!! Meal was average. Overpriced experience, would be better to book the Uber boat and have nice meal in a restaurant. Staff issue spoilt the experience somewhat.

This tour was amazing until it wasn’t. Our tour guide was hilarious and full of relevant information. She did an amazing job. It went downhill after that. It says the tour ends at one address. So, that’s the address I gave for our drivers to pick up my group of 10. I allowed additional time (an hour) just in case we ran over. What this tour does not say is that if you take the Thames River Cruise, you must walk almost 2 miles from the tour drop off to the dock to board the river cruise. We were not given comprehensive directions and found ourselves making one wrong turn after another. Because I had to change the pickup location, I incurred an additional expense from my transportation company. Because we wandered around trying to find the dock, we did not board the vessel until my original pickup time. Because my drivers had to wait for my group, I was charged a waiting fee that was calculated by the minute. Although we enjoyed to tour itself, I was extremely disappointed in the lack of pertinent information.

Terrible customer service when an unforeseen event being a person falling /jumping from a bridge on September 22 caused our transportation to delay without any warning . We were charged 100percent and didn’t have a way to catch up later :(

The river cruise was a great way to see the sites and the guide, Paul, was informative and funny. Was lucky enough to see the Tower Bridge open. The bus tour was okay. Used it to figure out where to walk around later, so not really worth the time. Our guide for the bus tour, Oliver, spent most of his time pointing out places he had posh lunches, gentleman's clubs, and famous people he used to associate with.

Great coach, very comfortable Excellent guide. Saw all the main sites Great account of the history of The Royal family & the sites around London

We enjoyed the bus tour and the astounding sights presented. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of London and the historical buildings.

Hmmmmm. Not a full day tour, they abandon you after lunch at the Tower of London. So you are on you own for most of the Tower of London, the Thames and the London Eye. Not the full day tour as advertised. That being said the lovely lady guide is awesome, well informed, organised, exceptional really. Seriously, the morning part was exceptional. But it’s not a full day tour. Not good. Not as advertised. Oh and don’t hassle for tips, not very British. Do you want to be American?

Sheila was an amazing tourguide! It was my friend and I's first time in london, and we, at first, only purchased the "Morning" tour of london, but we ended up buying the afternoon portion as well. The experience was great and Sheila's perspectives of the city were fantastic!

Our guide and driver gave us many details about the buildings in the city. We learned much history. They were also clever and kind people. We are glad we went.

Lovely tour, central pick up location right next to the tube. Charlotte our guide was fantastic!!! Highly recommend taking either the short or long version of this tour. I took the short and it was just right for my needs. Bonus it comes with the river cruise which can be taken anytime!

It is my first time to London and am so glad my friends and I took this tour with Sheila! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, and had so many great facts to share about St. Paul’s Cathedral, Tower of London and throughout the city while on the bus. Sheila also shared facts with more recent events since the Queen’s passing, it was lovely. Thank you so much Sheila!

Finding the bus loading point was virtually impossible. Tour of the city was far less descriptive and interesting as it could have been. Tour guide was barely okay. Bus was very comfortable. The cruise up the river was much better but even there the guide was rather stiff and didn't cover a lot of things that we saw that weren't talked about. Both should include an opportunity for asking questions - which they didn't.

They didn't even wait for 3 mins. We were late as we found it difficult to find Victoria coach place. I had called their office too at 845 am when were running late.

Shelia was an amazing tour guide. I learned so much more than I ever thought I would on this tour. I enjoyed this tour so much. Everything from the organization, cleanliness of the bus, to the abundance of information provided. Well done trip. Thank you Shelia

This was a great tour and we loved our guide Deborah! I only wish we had booked this as an all day tour. We only booked the half day tour. Deborah was knowledgeable and entertaining. She made sure the group had a perfect view of the changing of the guard. Thank you Deborah for a great day!

Smoothness of everything , friendly service every aspect covered by crew. Would fully recomend informative funny friendly journey . Good value for money

I had a wonderful day in London with the most wonderful guide ever her name is Norma and I had the driver Steve. The weather was amazing which let me have good pictures. We saw the guard change and our guide made sure we had good spot to watch it from. I even took a picture of the guide and the drive so you now which people you should look for to have a wonderful time with. They give the little extra that makes the time fly away. If you want an amazing guide ask for Norma or you will miss out on a wonderful experience. She has alot of knowledge and she knows what she is talking about. Thank you again for a wonderful time.

Our quide David and Driver Joe were fantastic very knowledgable and friendley would recommend this tour to family and friends

We had an excellent tour with James (tour guide) and Mark (driver). James is clearly extremely knowledgeable about London, and Mark navigated what looked like treacherous driving to me. James also very politely told some noisy tourists to stop talking. Highly recommended!

I am not sure I have this under the correct Evan Evans activity above, as I thought it was something like "London in a day with evening Thames river cruise". In any event, it was wonderful. August 20th, 2018 Tour Number 4. Here is my review.... I will start by saying this is the tour you want, especially if you can request the tour guide Rodney. In fact, find out when Rodney is working and book that tour! My wife located this tour on the internet from past reviews, and did she ever score a great tour for us. We did the “London in One Day Tour” with the evening Thames River cruise. It was perfect for us, with the bus touring of most of the sites newcomers like us want to see. The tour leaves from the lovely Art Deco Victoria Coach Station, itself worth seeing. We saw the Royal Albert Hall*, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace* (and the guard change), Green Park*, Trafalgar Square*, Parliament (with the clock tower containing Big Ben), Piccadilly Circus, St. Paul’s Cathedral*, Harrod’s, The Tower of London* and so much more. The * means we actually got out to view this location. Now for the seriously good part – we had as our guide a fine gentleman named Rodney. (August 20th 2018 Tour Number 4). Rodney is an extremely polished Londoner that sounds like a BBC news announcer. He is brilliant, and has a very dry, fun wit. I never stumped him with a question. He KNOWS London. He also strikes the correct balance of the right amount of talking, without babbling on. I heard other guides go by…..you want Rodney. Make the effort to book with him, and you can thank me later. Whoever hires and fires, give this man a raise and keep him. Our driver Joe was incredible. He threaded the big red coach through holes I would swear a Mini Cooper couldn’t fit. He and Rodney worked well together to adjust the tour on the fly due to traffic jams in London streets. The really amazing feat was seeing Joe parallel park the coach in one smooth move into a space in Trafalgar Square little longer than the coach’s length. Simply amazing. The evening river cruise left from the London Eye dock, and was very enjoyable and gives a perspective most will never see. Wonderful sunset over St Paul’s Cathedral dome. The announcer was very funny. It is well worth your time and effort for this relaxing float on the Thames. Again, I cannot say enough about Rodney and the tour in general. Make sure and book one of Rodney’s days, and enjoy. It was a top highlight of our trip to England.

<p>Not a big fan of this tour. it's super basic because you get the same information as if you were to get one of those 2 day tour buses but at half the price and twice the amount of time. And the time spent at the changing of the guard was barely 15 minutes, when the whole ceremony lasts 1.5 hours. Also, the guide placed us all the way to the back of the area, where we weren't able to see anything of the actual ceremony, only a few guards that passed by the street on their way in to the main plaza. And the cruise, the bus leaves you about 5 blocks from where you are supposed to get the boat. So i wouldn't recommend this to anyone. you are better off getting a Big Bus pass or any of those tour buses, and walking yourself early to Buckingham Palace to see the change of guard and place yourself at the front.</p>

<p>That day was raining, but we didnt mind because we were overwhelmed in the changing of the guard. I love to live in this country. Beautiful!!!</p>

Abholpunkt falsch beschrieben mit falscher Koordinate, somit 8 min zu spät gewesen und keine Möglichkeit gehabt noch an der Tour teilzunehmen. Viator und Veranstalter vor Ort nicht kooperativ, auch im Nachgang keine Lösung ... 360 Euro für nix.

Excellent tour of London. Our guide Monica describes perfectly each place in London, stories that we enjoyed and that made us transport and enjoy the tour in wonder.
