Great shore excursion

Pam_W, Feb 2026
This was a great short excursion that we booked. After booking, we negotiated a hourly rate with the company to be picked up and delivered back to the cruise ship. We were in London about 10 hours and it allowed us to see a lot and do a lot while having a driver at our complete disposal. It was fantastic. He took us to see all the highlights in London and returned us in plenty of time to the ship. Best excursion to see a lot in a day. I would highly recommend this. Just remember, we negotiated extra to pick us up and return us to the cruise port.

We are delighted to hear that the tour allowed you to make the most of your time in London and that having a driver at your full disposal helped you see many of the city’s highlights comfortably.

We are also pleased that the extended arrangement to include pickup and return to the cruise port worked well for your schedule and ensured you arrived back at the ship with plenty of time. Thank you again for your recommendation. It was a pleasure assisting you during your visit to London, and we hope to welcome you again on a future trip.

Nice ride but not a TOUR

Michelle_H, Jul 2024
Book this if you are looking for a driver to drive you around and not tell you anything about the actual city. I was handed a guidebook to look up information. If I look at the guidebook, I can't view the city. So I was disappointed in the quality of this tour. I learned more in 5 minutes on a double-decker bus than in my whole day with Samim. My advice is if you are scheduling tours of the city, please learn about your city so you can talk about the neighborhoods and sites we are visiting. Samim was nice just not knowledgeable about London. He was more interested in booking future car trips with me than giving the tour.

Thank you so much for your feedback! We apologise that the tour was not according to your expectations, in the description we specify that the tour is self-guided and that we allow time at each stop to be able to explore the point of interest. Regarding the driver's questions, he was asked by our team and we were told that you were told whenever you need transport in London, we can help you with that. We made sure that such questions will not occur in the future. Thank you so much!

My London Adventure

Bridgette_B, Jun 2024
My tour guide Lulian made my day in London. It was my 1st time visiting London and he made sure I was able to see everything. Lulian was very patient and accommodating to my travels and plans. I would definitely book more excursions.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

We are proud to know that our driver Iulian made this journey enjoyable for you. We hope you will tell everyone how beautiful London is and recommend us to others. Thank you for choosing us.

Great tour! Worth the money!!

Michelle_B, May 2024
I would highly recommend! Everything was great! They were able to accommodate my last-minute booking with a pick up from the airport! They understood my time constraints and worked with me to get in everything that I wanted to see before my next flight! Luli Was amazing and very helpful throughout the entire trip! His driving was safe, and his knowledge was expansive! If you are looking to do a layover tour or any tour, for that matter, you will not be disappointed!!

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you so much for your feedback! You can always refer us to your family and friends when they travel to London. Thank you very much!

Money well spent!

Tammy_F, Mar 2024
The was an awesome option to see as much of London in one day! The itinerary offered by the tour company is perfect (hit all the hot spots), and we were able to request one more stop so we could quickly see Hyde Park. We visited on a rainy day, so being in the car between points was perfect. Our guide was very nice, informative, and accommodated our requests. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Mar 2024
