    Absence of host company

    Peter_C, Aug 2026
    The experience was very good but you had no involvement in it at all. Apart from collecting tickets at the start we never saw anybody from your company again.

    The Buckingham Palace...

    Elaine_G, Jul 2026
    The Buckingham Palace tour was fantastic but not sure what purchasing through Viator did for us, other than ensuring entry during the busy tourist season. If you personally book far enough in advance, you can really do it yourself. The Tea Bus, while giving a nice road tour of London, could use improving. While the driver and attendants were great, there was no audio as to what we were seeing, or they forgot to turn it on. The Windows on the bus were dirty, so that was a little offputting as well.

    Wonderful experience

    Viara_L, Jul 2026
    The visit is very inspiring. I loved the art. It is an amazing place to be. The Buckingham Park and Lake are also unforgettable
