“Wow! I was definitely in the fence about booking this tour. I have two young teenage boys, and I was very afraid it would be too cheesy or “kiddie” for them. I should not have worried. This was two hours packed with fun, constant activity and (whether they realized it or not) learning. My kids have not stopped talking about and both say it’s the best part of our trip so far. My wife and I attended only as spectators, and even we found it highly entertaining. I was surprised that there was a lot of (safe, fun) gladiatorial fighting. I was expecting it to be 75% lecture and safety…”

“Excellent combination of Bond and London. A setting for many bond films and the London of its day. The choice of locations was really engaging given the use of Spectre, Skyfall and Casino Royale backdrops with Westminster, Horse Guards and Big Ben and other films created a walk that kept you on your toes and the piece de resistance was Vauxhall and the MI6 building even though it didn't blow up this time. Excellent tour from Rob.”

“We booked this tour because it said 2 hours. Our tour lasted 74 minutes and our driver talked more about his good driving record than the tour. Our driver also drove extremely fast which scared my girls. At end of tour when I brought up the fact that our tour wasn't the 2 hours as advertised his response was "So you didn't see anything?" Our tour cost us $30 and the day after I complained about our tour not being as advertised the company lowers the price to $25. Very disappointing short tour, would not take this again. 👎”
