Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens alone was worth the trip, but combined with National Gallery this itinerary really delivered. Breakfast at the hotel was good every day and the local guide was knowledgeable.

Booked this as a couple trip and it was well paced. Borough Market in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Our trip to London was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Hampton Court Palace was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

London is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Borough Market. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.

We added a couple of optional activities beyond Madame Tussauds and don't regret it. Good value for what was included, and the food recommendations from our guide were spot on.
