This tour was perfect! Steven was an incredible guide sharing fun facts and providing real information. The whole family enjoyed all of the sites and the cruise. His lunch recommendation was great as well. My favorite was the Tower of London, Steven answered any questions we had and waited for us to see the Crown Jewels to see if we had any other questions. I definitely recommend this tour!

It was a great tour but sometimes I felt our tour guide wasn't interested. Because you break the groups up we could here other guides give information while we just either walked or sat in silence.
Your skip the line description needs to be more detailed of what that means.
We got no information at Buckingham Palace and basically had to run back to the meeting point no time to walk by the stables.
