Guide was very knowledgable and shared lots of great facts that we had never heard before. It was a beautiful day to explore London! She was kind enough to make a stop at a playground so my son (7 years old) could run around for a few minutes towards the end of the tour. She also directed us to a few other places we wanted to go after the tour.
Do not use this company or Rosotravel again They pass on you to a different car company who has no information about your reservation and program — our driver asked us where would we prefer he drop us off !!! When Told it was private tour it took us almost 20 mins to figure out the plan including communication with our tour guide. Also the tour is disorganized and while you see few things — you would be a lot better off using google to learn about the places !
