Q:
In December, I'm extending a lay over in London so I can have 4 days to tour and visit the city. I've never been. I almost have every day planned & am working on buying tickets, and now tickets for a private guided tour of Buckingham Palace have just opened up for select days in Nov & Dec. Is it worth the trouble of redoing my entire itinerary & the 95 pounds for the tour of the staterooms?
A:
We just did the unguided stateroom tour, the headset and personal player is excellent and tells you everything and more in sub menus, and you can go at your own pace. About £25 each.
