Ticketing was fine. Bus trip was fantastic and the guide was very informative. We were left a bit stranded but a lovely us person helped us with a uber to get us to westminster abbey. Our afternoon tea was more than what we expected. We were disappointed 😞 with Evan Evans as they were absolutely no help.
