Review of the London to Edinburgh rail day trip with reserved trains, Edinburgh Castle entry, and hop-on hop-off bus access.

Review of the Tower of London, 24-hour Big Bus pass, and Thames cruise, with practical advice on timing, value, traffic, and booking.

We barely made our London Tower trip and given that this takes 2 hours we had no time for the river cruise. The operator(s) said we couldn’t reschedule even though everything that happened up until that point was out of our control. For this cost we used the bus three times and…”
Review of TopView London's 24-hour bus tour with Thames cruise and three walking tours, including routes, value, timing, and practical drawbacks.
“We got to stop 1 at 8am to start our day bright and early, unfortunately, the first bus did not show up until 9:30am. It ruined our morning plans and we were quite upset also there was no Lou available at that stop which sucked. The only silver lining was that the guide kept us posted on when it should arrive once her got there. He was great which is the o ly reason why I gave 3 stars instead of 1. Once we got going it was fine…but I don’t think I would book with Top View again.”
