The river cruise and Tower of London visit was really good with a lively narration by one of the crew. London really does sparkle, and the ancient buildings and monuments are constantly being maintained. The Tower was fascinating, quite busy, but not too crowded.

Far too rushed and unorganized and way too many in the group. Would not recommend this trip to anyone. You can do the same thing on your own and see more and spend more time at each highlight.

The tour guide wasn't very good! She couldn't remember how many were in her group. We lost the group because of her bad description of a meeting place. She couldn't recommend a good pub to eat.

The group was way too large on this tour.

If you are staying in London then just take the Tube and see the sites for yourself. The river cruise was a waste of time. Other than the Tower all we saw on the "City of London Tour" was from the bus windows. We only stopped at St. Paul's Cathedral and was rushed through. These sites can be better seen on your own, no tour group needed, especially when you get a horrible guide like we did. Couldn't hear her when she spoke, she would start talking before the whole group caught up to her and upon meeting her she immediately insulted us by asking if our children will be quiet and behaved on the trip. We went on our own upon arriving at the Tower and took the Tube back to the Hotel.
