Managed to do the Kew Gardens tour just before lockdown 2.0, and so glad I did! The whole process of getting set up with the guide was super easy, and the tour itself was really informative without being overbearing - I learned loads about the history of the gardens and I really felt like they'd done their research. The podcast style of the guide is so different to other audio guides I have used, and it's so refreshing to listen to a guide that is this engaging. Looking forward to using this again when I can visit some more places!

Unable to be used due to travel restrictions . Extension given till 2021 but travel restrictions /quarantine still in force from Australia well into next year due to COVID. Refused to give a refund on a costly purchase we had previously used in 2011, successfully . Very disappointing customer service with generic email responses. Do not recommend.

this was a terrible waste of money. every attraction we went to it was a problem. the london eye - not an immediate gate as advertised, you have to queue. the bus tour - bus tour company did not recognise this at all. we argued for 45 mnutes. madam tausaud - they did not recognise this, we had to move to 3 different queues, had to leave and go back another day and ask for a senior manager. this was bought to save time and we wasted 3 hours queuing and trying to use this

Very poorly coordinated. We went to pickup location at 12. No one was there. We called dc tour company, no one answered. Finally someone called back after 1 hour, unaware that they had a booking. Someone finally showed up at 2pm. He didn't know what we paid for and what route to take even though it mentioned in detail about the stops and route when we booked the tour but none was followed. Clearly these guys have no idea what they are doing or maybe they dont check for updates on latest bookings as we had booked the tour 48 hours earlier and apparently no one knew about it untill they heard from us. I was however offered a partial refund for all the fiasco.

I have used other transportation services from Heathrow to my hotels before visiting London, but this has been the best so far! As soon as I arrived in the airport terminal my driver Paulo greeted me, it was so easy to locate him which was a relief. Expedia booked the incorrect travel dates that I was arriving and advised me to cancel and re book again myself online, I explained to the rep I was having difficulty locating a private transfer suitable for my needs especially with Covid still running rampant. Instead I decided to call City transfers myself and there staff changed everything that expedia screwed up. I didn't have to cancel re book anything as Expedia advised me to do. I even received a courtesy phone call the day before my departure to confirm my details again. I also received text message when my drivers had arrived. Extremely great service, definitely new fav for private transportation when visiting in the UK!
