A review on WSA London

Reviewed by Christina Marinellostudent on

WSA London

The itinerary was great! I feel like I saw all of London in just a few days, and I definitely want to go back as soon as possible. My biggest wow moment was actually during one of the allotments for free time. I went with a few of the other people on the tour to Abbey Road, and the excitement of walking in the footsteps of so many influential musicians was almost too much to comprehend.

Was this helpful?

    I thought the itinerary was perfect. The first day was mostly guided, allowing us to gain our bearings in the city. The bike tour was a fabulous addition, allowing us to see all of central London. Overall, the tour allowed us to see all of the major sites and monuments while still giving us a fair amount of free time to see anything additional. Jamie was a great guide. He was very personable, knew the city and was able and wiling to help us navigate on our free time.

    This London trip was fantastic! I had such a great time "getting to know" London. Jamie was such a knowledgable tour guide, telling us everything from London's history to knowing the best curry restaurant in town (something we NEVER would have found on our own!). It was great to get a local's perspective on the city, which is something I couldn't have done if I planned the trip by myself.

    The bike tour was one of my favorite parts -- I saw so much of the city, and I feel I never would have been able to see all that on foot considering I was only going to be in the city for two and a half days. In addition, just seeing all the iconic buildings I have read about and seen pictures of -- like Westminster Abbey, Parliament, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, etc. -- is something I will never forget.

    I wish we could have gone to more museums/gone inside Westminster Abbey, but I understand that it's impossible to do and see everything in the short time we were there. Also, I feel that we get enough free time to do that on our own anyways (however, these places weren't open when we went)

    I LOVED London and thanks to Jamie for being a fantastic guide!

    I thought the itinerary was excellent. I saw the vast majority of London in only two days. I really enjoyed the small group dynamic and Jamie's local knowledge of the city. He was really excellent, helpful, and funny. I was a little worried about biking on the streets during the bike tour, but with Jamie cracking jokes and reassuring us that it would be fine, I felt much better.I really enjoyed going to see Platform 9 3/4 since I am a huge Harry Potter fan.

    I was very satisfied with the itinerary and activities. I just wish I could have stayed in the city longer. Jamie was amazing as a guide. I was so thankful to have such a cool guy showing me around the city, and I didn't feel like a tourist at all.

    I liked the itinerary we had a really good time. I think we definitely got a good view of what the culture is like in London. Jamie, the guide, was also really good looking :)

    I thought it was all very well planned out, and it was nice that there were only 5 of us on the group, because Jamie really made the tour about what we wanted to see, and it was all very chill. I didn't think the hostel was worth it though - it's not the top rated on hostelworld.com. Jamie was a really great tour guide. I'd recommend doing the London WSA tours to other people.

    The itinerary was wonderful! I liked how it was set up to show us both the big spots of London, and the tiny hideaways that were off the map. Visiting the Tower was definitely my favorite place. I loved seeing the crown jewels! Thank you for a great trip. It was a life changing experience!

    An updated itinerary should be made available before hand.
    I thought it was really fantastic with the exception of Westminster Abbey. The planning made it impossible to go inside and see what it was like because of time constraints. Otherwise, there was a great deal of organization apparent in an unobtrusive way that made the entire experience smooth running.

    Our guide, Jamie Dineen, was incredibly well informed and generous with his knowledge and wit.
