Our Guide John was good. However, the tour was too long and boring. Because of the overcrowding and our position, we didn't see the changing of the guards. Some of the history was interesting to hear about but there was way too much useless info mentioned.

Meliny_S

Tour was fantastic! Went on 4/26/24. Takes you to all the must sees in London. Our guide was wonderful. Nice to have some free time to roam while sightseeing. Highly recommend!

Seeing the sites was a good experience. What I didn't care for was the rush. Little time was spent at Changing of the Guards. We had to be back at the meeting point before the ceremony was completed. It was crowded and we never got to see the front of the Buckingham Palace. If more time was available it would have been a wonderful experience. Also, the Parliament and Westminster allowed little time and all you really see is the outside. We later to a guided tour the of inside of both and it is something I highly recommend. Skip the bus tour. You can experience most of the sites on your own.

Both the guide and driver did their job well. The guide is knolwdgeagle. My only comment is that the extra time in St. Paul Cathedral was unnecessary. I wished we had stops in the Tafalghar Square and the Parliament Square, instead. We only drove through. Later, we had to go back.

The guide John was fantastic. Spoke very clear English, had a sense of humor and knew everything. It was really a full day experience. We got to see everything from the outside, get out and walk around and take pictures then watch the changing of the guard and spend two hours in the Tower of London. We then enjoyed seeing many of the same sights from the river and the big eye. Great day!

The Premier tour company was fantastic. Our guide and driver were excellent. Even when faced with the challenge of getting around and the London marathon throwing curve balls they stepped up and made it work. They made sure to take good care of everyone in the group all day long. A definite recommendation to anyone who is thinking about this tour. You will not be sorry.

Deirdre_S

Jon was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He provided an in depth guide to the Tower of London and all the landmarks on the river tour. His tips on the right spot to see the changing of the guard was very helpful. Highly recommend.

Fantastic tour — saw everything needed to see in London — tour was much more detailed and longer than we anticipated— all good.

Heidi_S

The tour was well organized! Our guide John Rasmussen was very informative, nothing too long and boring, went at a great pace with so much helpful information and a great sense of humor! The bus was comfortable! We skipped lines, and had a break for lunch with great recommendations from John. We finished with the London Eye! Well worth every penny! The day went by fast and we saw so much!!!
