You get to skip the line to purchase tickets, but there is still a second line to enter the Tower of London that you will have to wait in. A very key point is make sure you join a Beef Eater tour group. While it may seem faster to bypass them talking and explore on your own, you will learn a lot more by listening to them talk. They speak at four locations in the Tower of London and provide fascinating history. Then you can explore on your own.

The church provides an mp3 device with a screen that allows you to listen and watch video footage of each area in the church. This is very helpful. Make sure to go up to the whispering room it is 254 steps up...but well worth it. Well worth visiting when in London!

The food was average. The menu was different from what is shown online. There is not many sites to see after the first 15 minutes when you pass by all the London landmarks. The live jazz band was very good.

The downside is we had hoped for more free time at Oxford. We only had 20 minutes to use the restroom, buy souvenirs, and get back to the bus 5 minutes away. We went one day after a large snow storm had hit the Cotswalds. This trip is well worth doing. Since we went in the winter none of the gardens were blooming at Warwick or at Cotswalds.

It was raining/light snow during the tour. The guide did an excellent job. Favorite stop was the Rookery. We went inside a handful of buildings including this building.

We went on a Saturday night and the tour group was large. Sometimes we had a hard time hearing the guide as there no microphone or headphones. However, the tour was worth the money and a good way to learn about this unique part of Amsterdam.

The tour was a good value. We were concerned that they would not have variable bike sizes. However, they have many different sized bikes for people of different heights. The bikes have back pedal brake and are one speed. The tour guide was excellent and spent extra time taking us to the top of a church in a small village.

We took many tours on our European vacation and this was probably one of our favourites. The boat is fully enclosed, which is hard to take good pictures. The food was excellent and the scenery was amazing. We ordered the vegitarian dish and it was very tasty. If we return to Amsterdam we will do this tour again.

Our tour guide was Terry O'Leary. He was a wonderful guide. We were a group of 4 on a Friday morning and since nobody else booked that day we were the entire group. He was very knowledgable guide and spent extra time answering our questions. Terry also stopped at a Coffee Company canal side which was a fun place to take a break. We highly recommend.
