Our driver, Terry, was great! He confirmed pickup time and place the day before our scheduled tour and was very prompt. The tour was a lot of fun and Terry was a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. He took us to so many iconic landmarks and knew where to stop so that we could get beautiful photos. Taking the tour our first night in London was a great introduction to a beautiful city! I highly recommend!!!
