We are very unhappy with the wrong information you placed on your website. You sold us something that didn’t exist. There was not any gathering place. After long waiting in the middle of the Westminster bridge we (two senior citizens) walked around asking people and ended up with the entrance of the House of Lords which was closing for the day. They offered a free tour but we were exhausted. We have already sent a message to the Viator requiring a full refund for that non-functional tour but nobody responded.

Even though I’ve lived in London for over 20 years, I learnt facts and stories on this tour that I never knew before! I would absolutely recommend trying out this audio guide

Great overview of the British political system and its history. Did this tour as part of the London pack and it really helped me understand all about those quirky British traditions. Recommend
