“We had professional and hilarious guides on our tour today — my face hurt from smiling and laughing by the end of the ~75 min tour! This bus has surround sound audio, so it’s easy to hear the guides. And the two stellar guides that are improv experts a d in character the entire time. The tour is littered with interesting facts and entertaining jokes. Would especially recommend for groups with varying levels of interest in the sights as this tour is so much more than the sights of London — it’s a show!!”
