Muy bueno
La pasamos bien, lo recomiendo con un par de salvedades. Nos encantó la zona de Holborn Station. Buen guía, correcto y amable. El audio se cortaba en un par de tramos. Igual lo volvería a hacer.

Best day of our stay in Buenos Aires. The guide flagged where it was worth stopping for photos. Compared with doing it yourself, it works out well. Having live Guide makes it more complete. One of the best things we have booked online.

Boa experiência, com um detalhe que vale saber antes. Incluir passeio de 85 minutos pela Estação Holborn tira o estresse da chegada. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. Mandamos uma dúvida no WhatsApp e responderam em minutos. Escreveram no dia anterior para confirmar o horário. Custou um pouco achar o motorista no meio de tanta gente.

Quase perfeito
Aproveitamos muito, mas tem coisas a melhorar. Londres nos surpreendeu, não esperávamos algo assim. Nosso guia era simpático, mas corria um pouco em algumas explicações. Um detalhe: os assentos não são os mais confortáveis num trajeto longo. Faria de novo de qualquer forma.

Good, with ups and downs. The illustrated E-booklet Souvenir is worth it on its own. Drinks at the venue are wildly overpriced. A good option, especially on a first visit.

Muy recomendable
Justo lo que buscábamos. Volvimos a London al día siguiente por nuestra cuenta. Sale más que hacerlo suelto, pero te ahorra toda la organización. No lo dudes, reservalo.
