On this tour you basically learn where everything is and the best way to get there. You see the outside of each place you have chosen. If transportation is needed, such as a bus or underground, Gio takes you on them. Many sights are within walking distance, depending on your hotel. Gio meets you in the lobby if the hotel is within London. You do not have the time to go into the various sites. From the outside, Gio gives you a lot of information and suggestions. You book tickets for entrance separately, and on a different day. We ended at the London Eye, so we could use our "Skip the Line" passes then, but we bought them ourselves. Gio knew what time the passes were active, and was sure to get us there on time. It was helpful to know where the correct line stated-the London Eye is incredibly busy and crowded, but with Gio's help we were able to walk right u and get on, skipping the long lines. Gio will reply to your questions on e-mail, and work with you to make a customized day.

It’s my understanding that if you’re wishing to go into museums etc, you would have to go on your own. You will have a lot to see in 6 1/2 hours. Tour guide is beyond excellent and knowledgeable.

There is a place for enquiries about customizing a specific experience and it never ever hurts to ask.

Firstly, the hotel you have chosen is in the perfect spot in London. We stayed there back in June and it was great. Helpful staff, clean and walking distance to most things. Buckingham Palace is a 10 minute walk. My only complaint with this hotel is that once given your room keys, it's hard to find your room. More stairs and corridors once you get out of the elevator. Secondly, I too have health issues with my back and knee due to surgery. I did not find this a problem in London. We booked a 6 hour private day tour through Viator, and our guide was absolutely fantastic. He went at our pace and took us all the best ways to get to where we wanted with no hassle at all. Some public transport was used but that made it easy. Buses and trains in London are quick and run every couple of minutes. I quite enjoyed the whole day. Perhaps you could look at booking two separate private day tours. That way you could do all your choices for London one day and the castles and countryside on another. With private tours, the choice of what you see is totally yours as its just your party and the guide. Our tour was called: "Private Custom Tour: Day Tour of London" If you chose this tour, after submitting payment you will get a link to choose what day, time, how many hours etc. It will also ask you what places you would like to see. You will then get an email directly from them asking you exactly what you want and they will personalise it all for you. I only had one day to see London, so for me, this was the best thing I done. It all worked out perfect. I seen everything I wanted to see and with no issues to my health. They are quite happy to stop if needed etc. You also have the option to go by car if you feel that is the way to go. That will all be discussed with you via email. Hope this helps and enjoy your holiday.

When you go to check the availability you put in the number of people for the tour and the price will be per person, and they will also show the total price. For just one person it was as much as 2 people so it’s like there is a minimum for the tour.
