guide: knowledgeable and engaging, with typical British humour group size: just right attractions on the way: sharing of information for significant locations along the way (beyond those listed), sufficient time for photo-taking itinerary: only regret is that the Westminster Abbey was closed for the day

Tour guide Geng provided exceptionally attentive and thoughtful service. Our group had 43 people, and I was very impressed that she, as a female guide, managed to take care of everyone so thoroughly. She patiently helped us take photos, always with a smile, and never tired of taking pictures for each person. Even though the weather wasn't great today and the scenery at Baiya was covered in thick fog, she remained professional in her service. This was truly a day tour with excellent value for money.

We visited three places in one day, but it didn't feel too rushed. Windsor Castle was beautiful, though no photos were allowed inside. Stonehenge was much smaller than I expected, but it didn't take long to walk around; about an hour was enough for photos. It started raining when we got to Oxford, and we had to be careful of pickpockets. While following the tour guide, some people tried to get close to us, and two of our group members had their backpacks opened. Luckily, we noticed in time, and nothing was lost. Lunch was fish and chips.

I've watched this movie many times and loved the songs. Today, I finally got to experience the stage play, and the harmonies and high notes from every member of the group were truly incredible.

Simply show the QR code, it's a great experience, with a high vantage point to overlook Big Ben, and plenty of time for taking photos.

I was able to make the most of my short trip to London. I visited Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral, the London Eye, and took the Uber Boat twice. All in one day!!
