The itinerary indicated we would end at St Paul’s Cathedral however we did not and had to walk 30 minutes to get back there from where the tour actually ended.
We also thought we were going to be able to access sites instead of just pointing to them. We did not go to Tower bridge and the guide pointed to London bridge however we did not walk across it. . We saw the outside of the Shakespeare theater but did not go in. Since the tour did not end at St Paul’s Cathedral (and we paid extra for the admission tickets) we had to backtrack over the Thames and spend 30 minutes getting back there leaving only 40 minutes to tour it. We did not have time to walk the 576 steps to the top which was disappointing. We came all the way from Colorado and picked this tour over other tours but were disappointed. The guide asked several times if we really wanted to keep going. We started with about 30 people and ended with about a dozen. Overall, we saw more in less time the day before when we toured on our own.
