Had a great time with our guide Joe and driver Aaron, we just wanted a quick view of the top tourist spots and after seeing the gaggle of people on the street it reinforced our decision to do it on a bus. My choice to do it at 4pm probably wasn't the smartest due to London traffic, but Joe kept it entertaining and I have no regrets on the purchase!
