A 3-hour guided walk through the City of London, from St. Paul’s and Fleet Street to Borough Market and Tower stories near London Bridge.
“Ridiculous, fraudulent and unprofessional tour (for $239) The guide was mumbling words with a very low voice and without even looking at us, making the understanding of what she was saying almost impossible. Evidently not trained for that job. I have asked to see her licence. I have received no answer as of now. She had troubles with directions, like she did not know the city. She kept telling us trivial stories that had no historical value and foundation. She brought us to markets that were closed (such as the meat market) She kept asking us what we wanted to see. We needed a guide because we wanted suggestions, not…”
