“Not great if you don't speak English. We are bothered by the noise the guide makes with his microphone and we can't hear the audio through the headphones which barely work. We also spend more time in traffic jams and are stuck in place for an hour, in short I don't recommend it.”

“La visite de la ville en autocar dure trop longtemps. On passe plusieurs fois par les mêmes lieux. Le restaurant est un bel établissement, mais l'organisation est un désastre. La messe est un moment magique, avec une belle chorale et se déroule dans les temps. La prise en charge pour le retour à notre hôtel est bien organisé. Mention à notre chauffeur et à notre guide !”
Celebrate Christmas on a three-hour Thames cruise with festive lunch, sparkling wine, live music, dancing, and London landmark views.
“Nice food. Friendly staff. Singer had a great voice. Downsides. There were only a few people on the boat so atmosphere rather flat. No one’s fault but the bench style seating made it impossible to get up without asking 3 other people to slide out so made it difficult to chat with other members of our group throughout the trip. Wine quite expensive.”
Celebrate Christmas on a four-hour Thames cruise with festive dinner, London landmarks, wine, and dancing from Tower Pier.
“Het begin was goed. mooie plaats en keurig aangekleed. voorgerecht was prima. Hoofdgerecht was echt bedroevend, ondefinieerbaar maar bovenal koud! Toetje was prima. Geen enkele uitleg over eten of programma. Na het toetje zelf op dek gaan kijken en bij terugkomst koffie gevraagd waar vreemd op gereageerd werd. kreeg de koffie in een kartonnen bekerje. Je zou verwachten dat dit aan tafel geserveerd zou worden. DJ en dansen? er was muziek en er was een groepje turkse damens die de muziek claimde en dus een uurtje turkse disco. Ik had bij kerstmuziek iets anders in mijn gedachte. Personeel was niet zichtbaar en vooral met zichzelf in gesprek. Het zal wel…”

Spend Christmas Day touring London by luxury coach, then enjoy a festive lunch, sparkling wine, and Thames views from a river liner.
“Abbiamo pagato oltre 500 euro per due persone, e l’esperienza è stata decisamente sotto le aspettative. Il cibo? Immangiabile!! Per quel prezzo ci siamo ritrovati con solo due portate più un dolce, senza bevande incluse. Per di più, una bottiglia d’acqua costava circa 4 dollari: un’esagerazione. Il bus turistico è stato un’altra delusione. I veicoli erano completamente chiusi, senza alcuna possibilità di scoprirli e godersi il panorama come ci si aspetterebbe da un giro turistico. Il tour è stato comunque abbastanza carino, grazie alle brevi fermate per fare qualche foto, ma nulla di speciale. La cosa peggiore è stata l’organizzazione: abbiamo aspettato più di un’ora e mezza prima di essere…”
