London in Sept. tours needed

[theAlejo]

hello everyone,

I'm going to England with my girlfriend in September, arriving the 21 and spending the 22 and 23 there. we would like to know if someone could recommend a tour operating company that's not to expensive but has group or personal tours(we are ok with either)???? we would like on the 22 to take a full day tour and the 23 be on out own to see things at our pace. please any recommendations would be much appreciated .......

 

thank you,

Alejo w.

http://www.evanevanstours.co.uk/ , http://www.premiumtours.co.uk/ , and http://www.goldentours.co.uk/ all offer day long coach tours of London. I may be unfair in thinking of these as being for the aged and infirm.

 

http://www.theoriginaltour.com/ and www.bigbustours.com/uk/html/uk_home.html offer narrated hop on/hop off bus tours of London. As these buses run too infrequently to offer efficient transportation between attractions, my advice is to do the entire circuit(s) and then to use public transport to visit the attractions you want.

 

My personal favorite guided tours are with London Walks, www.walks.com . Check those out and see if anything appeals and fits into your short visit.

Frommer's Budget Travel recommends "rent a local friend.com"...very cool concept, very flexible and inexpensive.

Hope this helps,

Susan

You might look up the walking tours. There are some fun ones and they aren't too expensive. Also, there are some self-guided tours that you can download to your ipod that my son and his girlfriend enjoyed. You can google them as well.

If you want a day out of London then the Golden Tours mentioned above are pretty good. I did a tour with my mum and dad several years ago to Windsor, Stonehenge and Bath for approx £60 (approx $90) each and it had a nice mix to ages and nationalities.

 

Also, love the Walks - and would definitely recommend an evening Jack the Ripper walk - will be very atmospheric in Sept when the nights are drawing in.
