The hotel room was compact but clean and practical. Although there was no air conditioning and the walls were quite thin—I could hear the neighbors overnight—I still slept very well. The breakfast was excellent, and the location was unbeatable, with easy access to shops, eateries, and the London Underground. The area felt safe and was very accessible, making it a worthwhile stay despite the minor inconveniences.

The Malmaison Hotel in Oxford is truly in a unique location. I absolutely loved my room—it was beautifully and appropriately decorated, with decent ventilation, a comfortable bed, and a lovely bathroom with a fantastic shower. The restaurant was incredible, offering an unforgettable dining experience. But what truly stood out was the staff. They made me feel incredibly welcome and genuinely cared for. I had just been in a minor car accident right before my arrival, and the staff showed such understanding and compassion as I checked in after a tough situation. Their kindness made all the difference in my stay.

The hop-on hop-off bus was a lot of fun and a great way to see several sights in London in the open air. The staff were very friendly, and the onboard experience was excellent. I especially enjoyed the drive through Knightsbridge, even with the traffic—it gave me time to take in the beautiful surroundings. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.

The late evening river cruise was an amazing experience. The opportunity to capture photos and take in the expansive views of London at a leisurely pace exceeded my expectations. While the dinner was a bit awkward since I was traveling solo and surrounded by couples and families, I still valued the experience. The food was average—comparable to what you'd expect at a large wedding reception—but the overall ambiance and perspective of London made it worthwhile.

This was an incredibly immersive historical experience. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about the unique history of this location, with architecture reflecting different periods over time. The Crown Jewels exhibition was absolutely incredible, and I loved the afternoon views of the Tower Bridge set against the London skyline. Overall, I learned a great deal and found the visit both educational and highly enjoyable.

Beautiful location, amazing staff.

Wonderful couple ran this beautiful home. Breakfast was delicious, location was delightful!

Emma was the most fun, informative guide we have ever had-wonderful experience!

Learned so much from the talented boat captain.

A great tour with an awesome and hard working guide Rafal! The tour took us to the filming locations but was much more than “Hollywood” which we enjoyed hearing the real history behind these settings……cannot saw enough about our guide Rafal!

Chris our cab driver was so great! He customized the trip based on what our family was interested in and shared so many fun facts as well as tips about getting around London, best view for changing of the guard. We never felt rushed when stopping for photos. Also he rearranged his schedule to accommodate our flight being 2 hours late getting in and still took time to show us so many sites. Very friendly and knowledgeable about London history and site-seeing.

So many historical sites within. Like several museums within one place. The Crown Jewels were amazing. Seeing the armory was also so cool. Just in awe at the history of the place. Very special.

This was a highlight - seeing the city sites at night on a boat with a lovely meal. So special. We lucked out with amazing weather. The live music was a treat while enjoying a four course dinner on the cruise. Just lovely!! And so easy to take the tube to get to the pier! Highly recommend. The kids loved it too!!

Great trip to see a very special place. SO much history and to keep it so well-preserved. Very special!!

So fun! All five of us enjoyed the experience. The tea selection was extensive. Our host was so knowledgeable and helpful. The food was tasty and the kids were pleasantly surprised that they could ask for seconds on any of the offerings on their stands. They all requested second servings of sandwiches!! A lovely experience!
