“This is a tourist trap!! You're better off going to a bar on your own. None of the shots were served in shot glasses, instead they were served in 2ml plastic vials and everything tasted like fruit juice. What a rip off!! We started smoothly at bar 1, got our shot, then moved to bar 2 were we spent an hour just waiting to get the shot since it was happy hour. When we told the organizer that it's almost an hour and some members of our group still hadn't received their drinks, she said she's messaging the manager and remained outside drinking. At bar 3 we got our tiny…”

“Put 3 stars for transportation because there wasn’t any? Anyway overall night was excellent. Great seats (front row…. Not sure that’s good for a comedy show) but we got off lightly. Compere and 4 comedians all really good. A few people chatting and distracting the audience and the comedians but they all dealt with them in their own way 🤣. Only stayed for a little while for the nightclub. The bar on the boat opposite the club is great…. Fantastic views of the London Eye.”

“Chouette programme, permet de rencontrer des gens qui veulent également faire la fête. Le seul bémol est celui qu’il est difficile de récupérer les photos prisent durant l’activité, et qu’il n’y a pas toutes les choses « incluses » dans la tarification (pas de jeux de boissons et de cadeau, très peu de prix préférenciels comme annoncé)”

“Nothing was there what I liked. It was very hard to find the meeting point, no one knew where on earth 75 St Mary Street could be found, it took 20 minutes to find it. Then there was a dirty pub with a bartender who tried to sell me Chivas Regal whisky as single malt for almost 10 pounds. After this he gave me something green as a welcome shot. Then I said farewell to our guide because it was enough for me and left the group. Money dropped in the sand.”

“Joey was fantastic as a guide, knew his stuff! My son is a huge Beatles fan so this was about him having the time of his life! I loved that Joey would call him by name as he pointed to places of significance. We stopped numerous times to take pictures at these Beatles important land marks and I absolutely loved how detailed Joey was at each spot! I learned a lot about the Beatles but more importantly my son not only saw the important spots he learned more than he knew about them, and that is tough to do with my resident expert !”
