Tours & Excursions in London

We took the Thames hop-on, hop-off boat cruise on Sunday, 4th September, 10:00, which I specify because I unfortunately don't remember the name of the chap giving the live tour at the top of the boat - but if he or his bosses read this, rest assured he was brilliant. Incredibly informative and humorous, and took a few photos of me and my partner for us. We only hopped off to see the Cutty Sark before hopping back on. And sure, it's the same commentary once you've gone round already, but I wouldn't expect anything more. I will say it was a bit confusing before we initially boarded, because we (and others) were there before any staff and we weren't sure which boat stand to queue in front of (there are several, none with this name), but we worked it out with process of elimination. Turns out we hadn't needed to queue because we already had a ticket - whoops. Someone there to say "ticket holders over here!" would've been nice, but it didn't spoil the occasion. Overall, great value for £.

A very enjoyable journey.The afternoon tea excellent.The commentary was amusing and informative.The staff helpful and polite.

Great experience. The kids had a wonderful time.

We had the start at 5:45 pm and could enjoy the sunset over London. Was a great experience with champagne and chocolate.

You can have taken part in the London Eye, but as expected it is not spectacular. I went because of my son. You can probably see just as much from the Skygarden or similar. I had no real idea about the dungeon, now I know what to expect. A guided tour into the dark times of London with scary moments. It's definitely well presented and the actors do a great job. But you really need a good knowledge of English. My English is actually very good but I didn't understand everything, also depending on who was speaking. If you don't understand anything, you can actually save it and go to a musical or something.

Good day with interesting extra knowledge about the filming locations

A very well organized experience where the dinner, beverages and entertainment was very good! The staff did an exceptional job of making our experience memorable.

I chose this tour due to the emphasis on air conditioned coach tour yet that wasn't the case. I appreciate most things to see in London must be carried out on foot but with my father not being great on his legs our trip soon turned in to one that had to be abandoned. The requirement for people to be able footed was soon made aware to us and we were not able to keep with the pace and got left behind on several occasions so sadly we left the tour with half of it remaining.

Super great tour guide with joy and enthusiasm explained everything great

Thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Would recommend for anyone looking for a unique way to see London.

"I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! At first i was sceptical about it being written as a screen play and actually took me months before I would even read it & I am a HARRY POTTER & BOOK LOVER, but I was VERY HAPPILY SURPRISED. It being written in screen play format did not take away from the book at all & it felt as if the original writer picked up where they left off. REALLY HOPE A MOVIE IS MADE & we can see a FULL ENDING to the Harry Potter series play out on the big screen!!!"

The timings were a lil off. I selected 2:45pm as my first activity at Madame Tussaud’s so that left me 2 and a half hours for the other 2 destinations. Which I missed 1 because that got closed at 5pm. The destinations are not all at the same place so it took us a bit of time to travel. It just tells you to select the time for the first destination. Rest is all on you. Plan a whole day and start in the morning to get the most out of it.

Even though the filming locations went through the heavy London traffic, there wasn't a single minute that was boring. The incredibly spontaneous, lively and funny nature of our tour guide Lotti contributed to this, which could report from a rich treasure of anecdotes, curiosities and insider knowledge from the Harry Potter films. And as with many comparable tours, this was not profane and boring, but really interesting! For example, next to the Millenium Bridge (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) was the London School of Westminster, on which actor Daniel Radcliffe had gone to school. Lotti also knew a lot about the shooting and the casting (in which she had participated for the role of Luna Lovegood herself and had been in the last 10 competitions). Overall, a great trip despite the rainy weather!

Alan was great! Provided a great and very knowledge filled tour with some comedy. Definitely recommend taking the tour lots of great landmarks to see and learn about the history behind them.

A magical experience with London dazzling! I loved this tour and did not want it to end! The views and lights of the city were spectacular. It was all well managed, with friendly staff, good food and entertainment, a big thank you!

The Ferris wheel is one of the things to do in London, it allows you to have a view of a large part of London, the Palace, Big Ben, the Thames and many others.

Excellent activity combination and excellent tour guide

The guide was very entertaining and knowledgeable; this tour is properly named in that it's first and mostly a walking tour with 4-5 stories along the way.

Very nice experience. Great views. Staff was very friendly. I traveled with kids but it was very smooth and comfortable ride. Thanks

Bus lines were not extremely long nor were the buses crowded. Easy to use application and stops were convenient to access the sites of London!

Great service many popular tourist attraction stops. Plenty of seats. Good price better than a river cruise much cheaper although without the commentary of what is what.

Love the tour , it gave me the freedom to stop at Great landmarks and looked around and take pictures

It's a cool ride. Nothing surprising but it's worth going at least once. It's very slow, this way you can see the entire area around Londo Eye. I recommend it.

A really great tour for three generations of the family. The boat was clean, comfortable with excellent viewing areas. The bar served a range of drinks. Staff were pleasant and friendly. The tour was informative and interesting. See a different view of the iconic buildings. Would work well even in poor weather.
