Terrible service. Booked a Total London Experience Tour and would never recommend them. Was separated from the tour after St. Pauls due to very vague details of pick-up point, so missed getting to Buckingham Palace. Rang emergency number and was told to go to the Eye and meet tour guide at ticket office there. After searching for 20 minutes I recognised one of the group in the queue and rejoined them. One of the reasons for booking the tour was because the information said we would skip the queues but it took 25 minutes to get onto the Eye in the public queue. Went to the Tower, no Beefeater as promised, only a brief talk about the buildings and we were then set free to explore on our own. Once again the queue for the Crown Jewels was ridiculously long.

Patricia & the driver on the coach was excellent. She spoke very clearly. You could understand her. It was a great time. I would tell my friends how good it was.

Wonderful tour. Tish was very knowledgeable and so easy to follow with that yellow umbrella! There was plenty of time to explore and see both St Paul's and Tower of London . Put in 16k steps! The London Eye was fun too! Thank you for this great experience in London!

Think Mary Poppins in London… and that is exactly what you get. Sandra was an incredibly knowledgeable guide who made you feel welcome and included despite the large group size. Locations we visited were classic bucket list locations as you do for the first visit to London. A must see coupled with an innately warm guide with infinite knowledge and a wry sense of humour. A must do trip for all those visiting London for the first time.. and for those with a thirst for historical knowledge.

The instructions told us to meet at 7:30am. We were there at 7:15. The bus didn’t show up until 7:50.
The guide was very rushed throughout the day. The most disappointing was to not have a beefeater guide at the Tower of London and to have been turned loose more than an hour before our tour was to end at 4:30. Luckily I had someone with me who had been there before so I could get information from her.

We absolutely loved this tour and our expert guide, Sandra. Sandra is a professional guide which requires extensive training over multiple years. She is a walking encyclopedia of history with a great sense of humor! All of us on the tour were engaged and listened intently to everything she said.
My wife had a brain aneurysm rupture last year and has been recovering for the last 9 months. She is able to walk short distances and Sandra was extra mindful to ensure we didn’t fall behind. We ended up doing 10,000 steps over 9 hours!! We were her little chickadees following her around happily listening to her tell us the history of what we were seeing. We saw everything listed on the tour and a lot more from the bus and didn’t feel rushed in any way. We had time to get a coffee or lunch at a few stops as well. We ended at the Eye which was also an amazing experience. Golden Tours has put together an exceptional tour and Sandra took it over the edge. It was the highlight of our trip to the UK and France. Strongly recommended!!
