It was a good experience, however, I felt the itinerary was a bit rushed. I could have done without the Stonehenge. It was a long bus ride with only a little time to explore it. I would have liked a tour of Buckingham Palace instead of the changing of the guard. I wanted to spend more time at the art gallery instead of just seeing the highlights. I would have loved to spend a little more time in Piccadilly circus after he SoHo food tour. There should have been a plan B for the Winery tour because of the strike. I would have liked to spend more time at Abbey Road instead of a quick picture.

Nice balance of scheduled activities and free time. There was flexibility to opt in or out of some activities. The tour guide was excellent and informative. I saw nearly everything that I would have liked to see had I planned the itinerary myself and had a few experiences that I wouldn’t have been able to access if not for the tour. I traveled alone and found the tour group to be very welcoming and provided shared experience which made the trip more fulfilling.

too little time at any given location, so we always felt 'rushed', and knew that there was more to see, but not enough time to see it.

Should stay on the other side of Thames closer to city center. Need more time at Kensington Palace. Make Stonehenge an optional excursion. While it was nice that people were dropped off at Harrods’, Westminister Abbey, etc. it meant that those who wanted to go back to the hotel sat on the bus for an extra hour. Loved St Paul, Westminster Abbey, and Windsor Castle.

It was well-rounded and packed with daily activities. We saw and did a lot of things with the tour group, but at the same time we had ample time on our own to explore. At the end, we didn't feel cheated and definitely got our money's worth!
