Don’t do this tour!

Lori_M, Sep 2024
Don’t do it! This tour was primarily advertised as the O2 climb and a walking tour secondary. When I asked the tour guide Joanne how we were getting to the O2 center she said she would get me to the underground station and I was on my own from there. The tour operator did not provide any of the details / requirements for the O2 climb. For example, socks are mandatory however I didn’t .
