What an excellent tour! So fun to do something different and see something frozen in time like that. The tour guides were so great too, very knowledgeable and so lovely and approachable and likeable too - would highly reccomend!

The London Pass makes sense just for the main attractions. I would definitely recommend it. Hop on hop off buses no longer accept London passes, but BigBus does. It's worth it.
