Traveler reviews
Great guide
Sandra was an excellent guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable and organized. She made this trip special!
Once they have your money, they don’t care at all about the client
I was travelling for this tour from outside London, planning to be at the tour nearly 30 minutes ahead of the designated tour stat time (8:30). Due to delays, I unfortunately missed my connection and there was a 40-minute gap between trains, so I would arrive to the bus several minutes late. I phoned the company at 7:18 (over an hour before the start) letting them know and asking them if they could please wait for me. They said the bus could not wait, but advised me to go to the Golden Tours Victoria Visitor Centre at 7 Belgrave road instead. At the visitor centre, the supervising manager Richan (sp?) was extremely rude and condescending. He tried to give me a fake name “Joe”, refused to give me his full name after I asked several times, refused to give me the contact details for somebody above him who could potentially help me, refused to give me information on how to file a complaint, and joked that I could call or email the main office, but that email/phone call would come back to him. In the end he said he would send me a confirmation that I could use 50% of the cost I paid towards a new booking, and even noted my email address for that purpose, but (surprise, surprise) never sent me anything. I understand that the tour company isn’t responsible for delays of the public transport system, but (1) I would expect a reputable company to provide a reasonable accommodation for situations outside of the client’s control, and (2) adding insult to injury when a client is asking for help to resolve an issue was completely unnecessary. I’m extremely disappointed and do not recommend this tour operator to anyone.

Absolutely wonderful day...
Absolutely wonderful day thanks to our guide Zozo and driver Robert. Zozo was so informative and fun making each stop special and engaging.
Would do this one again. Loved it.
Excellent value and wonderful long and varied day. Highly recommended. Big thanks to our fabulous guide Dan who took great care of us and driver Duma. Dan has a wealth of knowledge abouf the places we visited and passed along the way and told great stories to brng the history to life. The communications from Golden Tours prior to the day were clear and helpful especially the detailed description of how to find the coach at the beginning of the day. I knew exactly where i was going with no last minute panics. Thank you!
