Lots of road time, but worth it… - The guide, Stefan, was extremely friendly, and looked out for his guests needs the entire time. We had ample time at Leeds, Canterbury and Dover, but traffic caused our group to miss Greenwich. Because the size of the group was so small (13), we were able to take a luxury shuttle, not a large bus.

Leeds Castle Canterbury Greenwich and River Thanes - Due to traffic I missed an original tour I booked w another company; I ran into Danxia who was tour guide for this tour that was scheduled to depart which was perfect for me so I switched. I am so glad that I did, Danxia was so gracious and nice on top of that she’s an ultimate professional, she really takes prride on what she does, so knowledgeable about London and the places we visited that day, very well versed in Culture politics and history, I’ve learned a few things on this tour. Danxia treated us with utmost care and respect she checked in on each of us several times that day to make sure we were ok. Captain Ashley also a professional he drove the bus with care, in short I couldn’t be happier that I stumbled on this tour with team Danxia and Ashley, don’t have enough nice words to say about them, you will be in good hands if they happen to lead you on a tour. Learned so much about Leeds Castle, Canterbury and Greenwich. The nice surprise was at the end we got off the bus and onto water taxi to give us a chance to get a glimpse of London on River Thames, highly recommend this tour

Incredible Experience and Guided Tour by Golden Tours - It was an incredible experience with the loveliest tour guide Apple and driver Zaw who took us from London on this wonderful tour. I really liked the detailed history, guidance and friendliness which Apple showed on this tour. It was perfectly timed and executed by the team. Also, the snack pack was really good with all the must-haves and snacks that were needed. I would really recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to enjoy a day outside London.

Interesting and enjoyable tour also for families - This tour left us really satisfied! Excellent driver Antonio and very competent and exhaustive our guide Tasha. We started on time and we could appreciate each site in the program. The packed lunch offered by the tour operator was really appreciated. Many also breaks for a coffee/snack and toilet use. However we would have liked to be able to see the Greenwich Meridian even briefly.

A Great Coach Driver - The tour was good. The only downside was that half of the tour was in Spanish. Understandable, but lessened our enjoyment. When I asked if we could stay on the bus and skip the boat portion (mainly because of the difficulty finding cabs because of the Underground strike and rain) our guide argued with us saying that we would have no problem finding a cab. I know that not to be true because it took us 30 minutes to get a cab to go from our Kensington hotel to the tour at Victoria. In any case our driver, Kee, spoke up and said that he was driving past Victoria and was happy for us to ride with him. Kee was wonderful. When he found out that our hotel was close to Harrods, he said that was on his route as well. Kee was engaging, fun, informative pointing out all the attractions as we proceeded towards Harrods. He couldn’t have been nicer and was a godsend given the Underground situation. To give our guide credit, she was able to move our seats in the coach closer to the front. I am very hard of hearing and this certainly helped. The people in the rear part of the bus where we were initially seated ( because of the cab situation) never stopped talking in Spanish and one was obviously ill with a bad cold. So it was very good to get away from them. I give our guide full credit for our being able to move us. My only real complaint was her arguing with me when I asked to stay on the bus. That’s when Kee stepped in in offered to take us to within walking distance of our hotel which was on his route. Kudos to Kee!
