    Es war ein wenig schwierig, den richtigen Anbieter und die Haltestelle zu finden. Aber die Londoner sind durchgehend freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit, so war das auch zu schaffen. Der Guide war unglaublich toll, ehemaliger Geschichtslehrer, und konnte uns wahnsinnig viel zur Geschichte Londons und auch der einzelnen Sehenswürdigkeiten erzählen.

    Really enjoyed the routes and service, however I found the end of the day hotel dropoff to be very difficult to get any information on. Needless to say, the App messaging service and the drivers weren’t helpful and we were unable to use this service.

    We got a tad confused and got on an express and then had to switch and hear some things twice, but it was good and the drivers were very friendly and helpful!
