Easy booking via web page. But bad organising at the spot. Namely on the spot there were no directions where Gate A is and it took us some time in the rain to find it. After we had changed web booking ticket for official ticket at Gate A, we had to move again to the quee in Gate C where the entrance was.

Too much historical background from the tour guide in which, some aren't really interesting to foreigners. Would prefer more time either on watching guards changing or touring the state rooms.

I don't speak English and that's why it was difficult for me with tickets. I bought them online, but I didn't know that I had to go to the ticket office at the place of the tour. I thought an electronic ticket would be enough.

Ticketing went quite easily. The day we saw the palace was okay but the guide never announced that we wouldn't see Changing of the Guards. It was also quite a long walk around in circles to get to our entry point.

The place is beautiful, and the idea that they are standing there during ceremonies and receptions made me feel special. However! If you do not know, where to go, you can have many embarrassing conversations. I even asked help from the guard of the palace to help me, where the tour starts. Good to know: do not wait at the Victoria Memorial Fountain. If you stand at the front of the palace and the fountain is behind you, than you have to go to the left, turn right at the corner of the palace and go a ca. 1 minute walk. There will be the ticket office and the start of the tour as well. I suggest to add this little information to the description as well. This was the most disappointing thing during my entire stay in London - that the exact starting place was not specified on the Headouts site!

To get to know the palace from the inside. They don't let you take pictures so I can't upload any. The tour is very interesting and I liked the idea of being able to visit the same places that the kings and princes visited.

The ticketing was fine. The experience was once in a lifetime! It ws a very fitting end to our trip to London. The incredible elegance of the Palace State rooms can not be adequately put into words.

Once we got to the palace it was good. There was no changing of the guard because of "horse vacation". No reduction in price offered

Very difficult to find our meeting point. This needs to be simpler for tourists who are not familiar with the city. Even locals were not sure where our meeting place was! We found it just in time as our group was ready to go. So glad we gave ourselves the extra time to navigate ourselves. Once our tour started it was all worth the trouble. Our tour guide Sara was charming with a sense of humor. She was lovely. Well explained walking tour and excellent areas chosen to see the changing of the guard's marching band. We highly recommend this tour.

There was mention of Big Ben and seeing the changing of the Horse Guard during the tour and neither of those truly happened. Big Ben was talked about from a distance, outside and I believe given the amount paid for the ticket we would at least walk inside and do a brief tour after the Abbey. The tour guide was great for what we did see but felt mislead

We took the Thames River cruise from Westminster Pier to Greenwich. It was really lovely sitting on the top deck in the sun, even with the seagulls keeping us company.

It was really good time on boat, you could sing inside or outside depending on weather conditions, inside were a lot windows so you could see the view very good. But the best was a man who guided us, tell us funny and also many interesting stories about the buildings we actually see. He was proffesional and funny. It was way batter than the recording. I highly recommend the Thames Sighseeing Criuse. My trip was from Westminster to Greenwich. It took around an hour. The speed of the bout was ideal not so fast so you could realy enjoy the view. Than I went back to city by regular bus.

Weather was amazing , boat was packed and the boats crew very helpful and informative. The views along the river Thames were amazing and the little bits of information the unofficial tour guide ( crew member ) provided were funny, witty and really helped the journey fly by.

A Thames cruise is always high on our list of things to do when visiting London. Short notice this time, with a family member who hadn't had the pleasure of a river cruise. It was great all the way around. Narration was good, the weather cooperated nicely and there were drinks/food available to order. Price was right, too.

It was a wonderful experience! The captain was great, ensuring a safe and enjoyable trip. The crew member who provided the commentaries kept everyone engaged and entertained throughout the journey. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy their journey from start to end on a high note!

The guy commentating had a great sense of humour with some good one liners i.e. the beach/research . TBH I definitely would prefer this than the pre recorded commentary, be aware he advised passengers to get the APP to listen to commentary and also in different languages. The boat was clean and very smooth sailing, loads of space on our trip. The only reason I didn't give it 5* was the cost of the drinks but it was my choice whether to pay it or not I suppose. Would go again. My grandson loved it.

Value for money, good multimedia guidance on app. Too intrusive live one on the other hand, definitely high speaker volume.

The onboard commentary was very good. I think it would be a good idea to have a digital way to tip the guy who did it cos most people don't carry cash these days We had an awesome time 😁

We chose the flexible ticket because it went as far as Greenwich (not Tower Bridge). The ticket indicated that the closing time was 18:00. We went there at 16:00 and were told that the boat no longer went to Greenwich at that time, only to tower bridge, and that the ticket from the service provider (Headout) was indeed confusing. We don't think we'll be using your services again in the future.

We loved the crew – they were funny, entertaining, and shared some interesting facts. The boarding was a bit messy and we had to wait in the sun for about 30 minutes. But the cruise experience itself was really nice!

Our guide, Alexandra, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Appreciate how she organized the trip and helped with photos.. We had trouble finding our group on a busy corner with other tour groups meeting at the same location. There was a lot of commotion with the police at the time and we found our group later, after joining the wrong group.. Suggest starting in a more unique spot, and with a description of the contact.

Ticketing experience was good. Our guide, Bossa, was extremely personable, knowledgeable, and professional. Her commentary was very inclusive of all members of the group, relevant and illuminating. She is a credit to the tour guide 'profession'. After our tour with her, it is easy to understand why Westminster Abbey is widely acknowledged as one of the most special places in England, if not the world. Loved the walk up to Buckingham and St James' palaces also.

We had a great tour and learned a lot about the Abby I hadn't learned on my last self guided tour. Tracey did a great job.

Our guide, Isabelle, was great. Lots of additional insight into the Abbey and the Palace. When I booked the tour it included a viewing of the changing of the guard. When we arrived, we were informed that there was no guard change on Tuesdays. Why would you even offer that option for a day that it does not occur???

The history in the building is incredible and Gabrielle our guide did a terrific job conveying the importance of every inch of the building. We felt privileged to witness the site where so many important events have played out over centuries

It was good There was a problem in that this 110$ ticket was promoted to be seeing 3 places in London where we really only got to see Westminster Abbey The tour guide was nice and knowledgeable but he spent way too much time in the abbey

I have already replied in an email. It was too long a tour visiting some places that were of no interest to me. I was only interested in the 3 places of the hire: Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and, above all, Wensminter Abbey.

There was mention of Big Ben and seeing the changing of the Horse Guard during the tour and neither of those truly happened. Big Ben was talked about from a distance, outside and I believe given the amount paid for the ticket we would at least walk inside and do a brief tour after the Abbey. The tour guide was great for what we did see but felt mislead

Our guide was very motivated and showed us the best way through London, which was overcrowded on our weekend! Her explanations were very entertaining and informative, and we were able to put her tips into practice in the days that followed! Many thanks again ... absolutely recommendable!!!

The relaxing and instructive aspects of the visit are very much appreciated. We let ourselves be guided through Westminster with pleasant little poses. The guide was diligent, very friendly and naturally conveyed her London culture in French! The discovery of Westminster Abbey was fascinating, and some details would have gone unnoticed without Carole. It's a pity that the tour specifies a visit to Big Ben and Buckingham Palace when it's not possible to enter them in April. The descriptions of these buildings from the outside were very interesting. I'd recommend
