Regent Street

A good tour of London, better on a warm day, not a cold Easter one!

Picking up the ticket was more difficult than expected, mainly because the pick-up centres were not as obvious as they could have been and they were under staffed for the Easter period. The tour itself was very informative although the audio guide was at times out of sync with what you could actually see. The music in between the parts of the guide became quite annoying and repetitive - I would just remove my ear-piece when it came on (typically when we were stuck in traffic!) As part of the tour we took a boat ride down the Thames from Tower Bridge to the London Eye. This was with Thames Clippers who appeared to have the newest boats of all the operators. Despite the poor weather, it was a very comfortable trip although the rain meant it was difficult to see as much as we had hoped. On a sunny weekend, this would have been an excellent choice, but the the cool Easter we have just had meant it was cold on the top of the bus. Still well worth doing and good value I would say
