Total London Experience with London Eye, Tower of London, St Paul's

This tour was absolutely wonderful! Godfrey our tour guide was so informative. But, most of all Godfrey was so charming and so attentive to our every question. Plus, a very wonderful bus driver (Alan). Will recommend this tour to our friends visiting London! Thank you Godfrey and Alan!!

Sandra was an Awesome Awesome Tour Guide. The Bus Driver was the best. I totally enjoyed the Tour. And I cannot wait to do another Tour with them both.

Loved the Guide, Bus was great and the sites were fantastic. Not our first time to London but we were with people that it was there first time and we set up the tour. They were very happy. You didnt let us down. Also we were very happy with the meeting place for the bus.

The description of the tour was misleading. Our tour guide was a pleasant man, but didnt give a lot of historical information like we’ve experienced with other tour guides. It says a river cruise but it was riding a boat taxi. It was suppose to include the changing of the guard but we were told we had to leave before it was over. We paid a lot of money and really didn’t get what we thought we were getting.

Our Total London Experience tour was most enjoyable....our guide “Rick” was very knowledgeable in every aspect of this tour, great personality and wonderful person to talk to. Great tour to take for those with a limited time in London.

First of all, tour was supposed to begin at 8:00 a.m. Instead, the tour guide did not begin checking people in until after 8:00 a.m. We were then informed there would be no changing of the guard that day "due to rain" but it wasn't raining. While I know Golden Tours is not responsible for it being cancelled, we did not do anything else to replace that activity. Traffic was extremely backed up due to the half-marathon then taking place. We could not pass by the federal buildings due to the marathon and those streets being blocked off. Our box lunch was substandard, a cheese sandwich, with a bag of chips and a small water. Once we arrived at the Tower of London, our bus took off and we were left to walk for the rest of the tour...not mentioned in this tour's description at all! We were given a few hours to walk around at the Tower of London unescorted after being led to the Crown Jewels area. Once on the Thames River Boat Ride, there was no commentary by anyone to explain what we were seeing. Last stop...London Eye...while incredible, that was the end of the "10 hour tour" and it was only 3:00 p.m.!!! Disappointing!!! I'm sure everyone was aware well ahead of time the half-marathon was running that day...perhaps with all the tie-ups it brings, the tour company should not run the tour on that day!

The day started with a late checkin and late departure. Early on, the bus was told that we picked a bad day because there was a half marathon, protesters and rain in the area. We did not see Big Ben or the changing of the guard. Since it was a Sunday, we also did not get the tour of St Paul’s cathedral. The lunch was a small cheese sandwich. Overall the tour was not a good value for the money spent. My confirmation said to expect a 6PM return but we were done by 4. The bus left us after the morning so personal items had to be carried the remainder of the trip. My expectation was that the Thames river would have narration to point out the sites but none was provided as the group was spread out in the river taxi.

The tour was perfect to see as many things as we could in one day. Would have loved to have more time in each place. Minus a point cause the lunch box was not appetizing. Our guide David was awesome

This tour was fast moving and covered a lot of ground over the course of the day. While you could not spend must time at each site it did allow us to get a flavor of the beautiful city of London. The simple box lunch that was included was pretty basic but did save us time and allowed more time to see the sights. If you only have one full day to see and explore London then I would highly recommend this tour. Our local guide, Ruth, and coach driver, Massimo, did a great job!

Our day started badly with our guide seeming to have a problem checking in the last group of travelers, some had premium seats but the rest also wanted to sit with them. Getting them on the bus kept us late. The Boss appeared and gave them the option to travel, or not. Our guide, Susan, appeared to waste time, e.g. when we arrived at the Tower of London, she talked for a while before telling us that she had to go and check that we would all get on to the boat we were booked on to take us to Greenwich. Off she went. When she eventually came back, she then told us that she had to go and get our tickets for the Tower. Off she went again. We wasted a full half hour waiting around. When touring St Paul's or the Tower, if you were not right next to her, it was a waste of time, as you couldn't hear what she was saying. When we got to Greenwich, she took us in the opposite direction, to sit us all down and tell us repeatedly, that she was going to give out the London Eye tickets and that we should make sure we do not lose them as they were very expensive. Repeated.....Then it was time to go to our destination. Why, when we got off the boat could we not have gone to find out about Greenwich meantime straight away, and been given our London Eye tickets whilst waiting for the Thames cruise part of the tour. We were told that we wouldn't have to wait when we got to the London Eye, as our tickets meant we didn't have to queue....that's a laugh. Poor guide. A lot of wasted time. Packed lunch was quite acceptable. Places and events covered were good. Bus driver was good.
