Overall rating

Incredible! It was completely worth it, a very good and quite impressive experience. The cruise staff were quite friendly and they give you a guided tour. It was good to know from previous reviews that the cruise only covers one leg so we took the cruise to the London Eye and waited for our reservation time right there. Once the London Eye loop was over (amazing btw) we got on the bus around 3pm and used the bus until 5pm when the routes ran out, and still got up early and continued to use the bus the next day. (The bus lasts 24 hours, so we visited several places using the time we had left.) I highly recommend downloading the Big bus app to be able to see the routes and buses in real time. Incredible experience, we were 4 people

This tour was so fun! Even though it was a windy, rainy day - our guide "Al" was professional, energetic, funny and super knowledgeable. He walked us through the streets of Soho to visit some very interesting Pubs, tell us the history of the Pubs and even made recommendations on tasty beverages. Great tour!!

This was a fantastic tour. I highly recommend it for music culture fans. Carlos was a wonderful guide and host. He brought us to 4 historical pubs in Soho and stopped along the way to highlight important buildings and venues that were influenced by the music culture of London.

Fantastic tour! Highly recommended. The tour guide was so knowledgeable and humorous. Tour was just the right length and hit all the right highlights

Had a great outing with Sy! Perfect way to kick off a trip to London.
