    Totally recommended. The experience was wonderful thanks to our guide Ola; and it more than met our expectations. At all times, Ola cared to know about our likes and interests and did everything possible to satisfy them. The best part of the trip was the tour we took with her, as it gave us a global idea of London that would have been impossible otherwise. Likewise, it is to be appreciated the good character of Ola that made her soon become one more member of the group. The money it cost is 100 percent justified; And if we were to repeat the trip again, we would not hesitate, not for a moment, to contact her again, so that she would be our guide again. How lucky we are to find such a wonderful person to get to know London.

    I got a ticket for the Historic bridges of London tour for today (17-08-21) at 5pm. I got to the designated meeting point but the guide didn't show up. I waited there until 5.20pm. If it was cancelled, there was no email to inform me of that. I emailed them twice and got no response, so I left disappointed.

    The tour was cancelled about 15 minutes before it was due to start. A lady phoned me and said she had got mixed up with the date - she thought it was the day after! Unfortunately we couldn't rearrange as we had our time in London fully planned out. We are awaiting a refund.

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area. She was also very friendly, carrying the conversation constantly. In addition, she was my personal photographer. Would book again!
