Traveler reviews
A Great Tour Today with Tish
Tish was an excellant tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and informative providing lots of good tips on things to do in London. We enjoyed her commentary as we were travelling along in the bus.
Windsor Castle was great wouldn’t recommend Hampton court.
The guide didn’t tell us about the audio tour availability at Hampton court. A huge problem. The other concern we had was the bus driver!!! It was her first day solo and it was very obvious she didn’t know how to use the clutch on the bus. The bus ride,especially in London was extremely disconcerting. The bus was jerking every time she slowed down or braked. To the point of making us nauseated. The guide was very knowledgeable about the two places we visited. Unfortunately she was a very fast walker and we and several others had trouble keeping up. She needed to understand that not everyone can ambulate that fast. Even when asked to slow down she didn’t. The guide also admitted to being very frustrated with the bus driver.
Excellent guide
Zozo was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. He made sure we all knew what areas to focus on when we were on our own and therefore ensured we got the most out of the trip. He took the time and effort to explain the history and fun facts. Zaw was a great driver. Thank you for making the trip worthwhile.
Great experience
Zozo and Zaw were brilliant. Very entertaining and informative. Highly recommended.
