Leave a reviewEverything I had hoped for!
Deepa Golub
The Westminster Abbey was everything I had hoped for and the tour guide explained the details which made it all so real. To have tea and croissants with your fellow tour participants before we started made a lovely start of the tour. I saw the Abbey by myself after the tour ended as it is such a fascinating place. The London Eye trip afterwards was a ball, it was easy and I was not afraid as I had anticipated. Thank you.
