Tours fine, getting online voucher approved a PIA(pain in ass)

I bought our tix online (Evans & Evanz) Voucher wouldn't download on Mac or PC. They sent me a letter and told me to go to certain stop at Woburn, after 2 mile walk, tour reps passed it around scratching their heads. Anyway, since I'm writing on an iPad, don't have time to sketch out entire episode. 2 hours later found main office and got actual tix. Note to self, never order daytour online again. Other then that tour buses fine, though a little slow getting thru day. Would hate to do this during heavy tourist season. Good luck at the Olympics!

Hi Mike,

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. It appears the letter confused our guides and we have been the victim in the past of forged documents for people to get free travel/tours around London. It is unusual that you could not download the ticket on your Mac/PC as we have not had any issues previously with this and I am sure had you downloaded the correct ticket you would not have been in this situation.

We are pleased you got to take the tour in the end and we do apologise for the issues you experienced on the day.

Kind regards,

Chris

Lack of communication and wrong pick-up point

I phoned in to the office to confirm my pickup point and time the day before my scheduled tour (as instructed), and was told to be at Trafalgar Square at 12:15pm. Due to severe traffic delays, I was going to arrive very close to the departure time, therefore a rang the office to bring this to their attention and to find out if they would be willing to wait a minute or two as I was only 5 minutes away. I was essentially told that no accommodation could be made and that I had 5 minutes to make it to the pick up point. After arriving at the designated point on time, I phoned the office only to be told that my collection point had been changed without my knowledge. When asked why I was not called and told of the change, I was told that they do not have my phone number however they left a message with the 'Original Tour Company' at whose offices the bus was to collect me. I was instructed to make my way to the next pickup point as quickly as possible and they will have the bus wait for me there. After rushing to the next point, we (myself and the other individuals waiting at the hotel) waited 45 minutes for the bus to arrive, and the only reason we knew why the bus was delayed was due to my previous communication with the office. No effort was made by the tour company to call the hotel and have the concierge advise those waiting outside in the rain of the delay. I found this tour to be poorly organised, and the lack of communication appalling. The company had my phone number from my initial booking (as I could not process the payment without entering a phone number) and from the day before when a member of their team had to call me back at home. The lack of effort in communicating to other tourists also showed the poor level of customer service. I definitely would not recommend this tour to any of my friends.

A good introduction to Paris

Taxi pickup from hotel was excellent. Eurostar train ride to Paris was excellent. We then had a bus tour which was good, but I would have liked to stop and get off the bus at a couple of stops, in particular the Arc de Triomphe and the Opera house. We got off the bus at the Eiffel tower and went on the the River Tour of the Seine. The River Tour was excellent. We then went to the Eiffel Tower, but the queues were too long to go up, so we didn't. This was very disappointing but probably the right decision. We then went to have lunch at a cafe that was reasonably good although very crowded. We then waited around a giftshop next to the cafe for far too long, nearly an hour. We then continued on the bus tour to the Louvre. Where we had a tour for about an hour. We then went on to Notre Dame and had an hour there. We were then picked up and taken to Galeries Lafayette where we spent an hour which was OK. We then were taken back to the station over an hour and a half before ourtrain departed. This was extremely disappointing. We were unable to take the earlier train because our tickets were non refundable. We had an excellent journey home on the Eurostar. Overall comments are that we found the tour guide difficult to understand, and that we spent way too much time at shops and waiting at the train station instead of sightseeing.

Hi Brian.

Thank you for your review of the Escorted London to Paris Tour, we are sorry you feel it is over-priced. Tickets for the Eurostar alone can be more than what you paid per person without the guide element included and in general it is a more feasible option to buy tickets with us than it would be direct and to do it yourself. Of course, this is not always the case but we have found that generally it is better value which is why it is a popular option.

We are sorry you did not enjoy the beginning of the tour in Paris, but we are pleased that you enjoyed the guide and the city of Paris and it is great to hear that you still had an enjoyable day. We will speak to the supplier about lunch in Paris and to try and offer a bit more variety in future.

Kind regards,

Chris

The only thing we don't understand is why we felt obliged to tip when the driver was basically doing his job - namely to get us to our destination safely and back. Don't they get paid a decent wage?

Administration well handled, tour, wet and cold!

Administration was well organized and the employees onsight were very helpful and quite nice. The tour itself could have been better had we been able to sit inside the bus. the children were wet and cold. For a group our size, 27, our reservation should have been a priority. Maybe next time.

Too much in one day

Windsor, Stonehenge, and Bath are too much to do in one day. They are too far apart. You end up spending half the day on the bus, and then are fully rushed at each site. Do only two things in a day, and then people will have time to grab a leisurely lunch, and maybe enjoy parts of Bath outside the actual baths. Also, our tourguide talked talked talked the whole time. Silence at times is OK - we don't mind.

Hi Bryan,

Thank you for taking the time to review your tour. We have run tours in the past with just two destinations but they were not popular and the over-whelming feedback from visitors was that they wanted to see more and felt they were spending too long in places. Therefore, based on this feedback - we started running the three destinations, and they are very popular and people generally are aware that they are seeing a lot in one day and there will be some travelling between the 3 destinations which is why it is a long day starting at 8:40AM and finishing at approximately 7:30pm. This time allows us to travel between destinations and also to see everything within those places.

Kind regards,

Cheaper than booking through the tour company itself

Booked an Evan Evans tour for Leeds/Canterbury through the SightseeingToursLondon website and the price was £5 cheaper per person than it would have been through Evan Evans own website.

Followed instructions on my email comfirmation, called Evan Evans using the number provided on the email to confirm my booking had gone through and to confirm pickup point, showed up on the day with my email printout and got on the bus with my family to enjoy the tour.

Very happy with the £15 saving I made by booking through SightseeingToursLondon.

Pleasant day with many historical sights

As advised the trip ended up being a long day, but we got a taste of many different things we wanted to see. The tour guide was very good and was able to answer the many questions.
The day turned out being very nice. We would recommend it to others.
Thanks

Money Better Spent on Hop-on/off bus

The only really good point of this tour was eartly access to the Tower of London. However, time provided for this site was sorely inadequate. We needed at least another hour! From there we boarded a Thames river cruise. The cruise lasted 17 minutes and much of that time was spent stopping at other pickup docks. A total waste of time, sinxe we saw little between the Tower and the Embankment. We were late for the "changing of the guard' and could not get near the event. However, the guide did inform of where the guard would return to their barracks so that we could get a first-hand view. Ohter sites were not easily seen in a tour bus -- best seen from open-air buses. In fact, the best idea is to find a [link] bus.

wonderful trip

Our trip to Bath, Stonehenge and Salisbury was wonderful.
Wish we had more time to walk around in the city of Bath,
but we also knew that we had a lot of ground to cover.
Our tour guide (Mel) was informative, courteous, and funny.

Hi Chandler,

Thanks for your review it is so great to hear you had a great time! We wish we could make more time on these trips for people to stay longer in places, but hopefully if you come back to the UK you will be confident to make your own way to Bath and maybe stay there for a night as it really is a wonderful city.

Kind regards,

a good service with a "but"...

The main starting points are not clear at all, and I had to get around Trafalgar square wasting lots of time to look for the startin point. I suggest you to put a flag or a visible clear sign where the starting points are. Then, once on bus, the headphones were not working and I couldn't hear a word. All'n all London is great and have a service at least that allow you to get off and on in different locations for one day is a good practical thing.

Hi Alda,

Thank you for your tour review. The tour starting points are found in detail on the Tour Map that is provided via a link in the Tour Description for the Original London Sightseeing Tour Page, the link refers to here:

http://www.sightseeingtourslondon.com/tourmap.pdf

There are signs on top of the bus stops that inform you that this is an Original Tour stop off point and which route this is for. With regards to the headphones, we would recommend asking the driver in future for a replacement pair as they carry them incase of such circumstances.

We are pleased you enjoyed your trip in London and the service provided.

Kind regards,

It is very nice programme. It is very worth paying.

I understand now why it is a popular programme. Places and things were very interesting and impressive. Guide and bus driver were nice and knowledgeable. Only reason I do not give 5 stars is we had too little time and Easter vacation caused long queue for each place but I understand the situation and it is unavoidable for understand one day trip to have intensive peogramme.

Hi Naya,

Thanks for your review! Its great that you enjoyed the tour and the guide! Its the one request from visitors that they want more time, unfortunately, in order to see everything in a day there are just not enough hours in the day to spend too long in one place. But hopefully when you come back you know which places you would like to see again and in more detail.

Kind regards,

Lack of pre-booked advance entry tickets

The agent who greeted us at St. Pancras for our outbound Eurostar train to Paris was very friendly and efficient. Upon arrival in Paris, the tour guide met us on time and was very clear in her descriptions. However, we were disappointed that advance entry tickets resulted in our inability to skip lines at the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, so because of time restraints, we did not get in to either. Our guide did manage to negotiate (at the last minute) our entry into the Musee D'Orsay, which she offered in compensation for the above two disappointments, and this was most enjoyable. Overall, the experience was OK, but would have been much better if we had advance group entry tickets that would have enabled us to skip the queues.

Hi Marty,

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, there have been issues at the Eiffel Tower recently due to a lift being out of order which has resulted in much longer queues at the Eiffel Tower.

Sadly, it is not possible to avoid the queue at Notre Dame (for anyone groups included) as it is a public Free entrance. The queue is usually large but actually very fast. I understand that Mirjana (your guide) gave a lunch break to the people at Notre Dame and you were able to enter Notre Dame if you wished. I assume you were discouraged by the queue and therefore decided not to see it. Mirjana then escorted you to the Musée d'Orsay which I see you really enjoyed.

We did do our best to accommodate you in the unusual circumstances of the Eiffel Tower Lift not being operational. If we could have got advanced tickets which allowed people to skip the queues then we would, but sadly these are not an option for any visitors to Paris for the Eiffel Tower or the Notre Dame - we all have to queue.

Kind regards,

Chris

Fun but a bit rushed

This was a fun experience and I highly recommend the tour if time is tight. However, this tour was overbooked and they almost tore our group apart. Not only that, the staff didn't seem to know what to do with the overcrowding. You just have to remember to be back at the bus at a specific time otherwise they will leave without you!

Aside from the timing/overbooking issues. I had a great time on this trip as it was a fun way to see a bit of everything
