Having done this tour several times before, I was hugely disappointed. Sporadic buses. Main issue was the terrible puerile commentary. Previously this was excellent but has been dumbed down to embarrassing childish gossipy chat. I had to keep checking I wasn't listening to the kids' commentary. Most of the history and many important landmarks that we passed by were not even mentioned, instead I had to listen to infantile chatter 'see that red road', 'oh I don't know if that's true', 'I took my god-son here last year' whilst the voices told me about their lives in London and where they liked to eat and drink and watch movies and gave their opinions on Prime Ministers, England being better than France and how wonderful Wimbeldon is (despite us being in the centre of London). Truly awful.
