Review about: Omega Breaks
London Summer Days August 2018
Enjoyed this break very much (have done it before). The Tower Hotel is excellent - wonderful location, very comfortable room with river view, excellent very helpful staff, and the best value cream tea in London (not one freshly baked scone but four!) The tour was very good value. One caveat: the excursion to Windsor didn't work time-wise. The driver was unavoidably delayed getting to the hotel due to an accident, meaning we did not leave until 9.30am, reaching Windsor 11.45. The driver needed to leave again at 2.15 in order to go to Henley as planned. This was nowhere near enough time in Windsor. I stayed in Windsor until mid-afternoon and returned to London by train. For this excursion to work allowing for traffic and journey time , it needs to leave the hotel at 8am (not 9am) (which still allows time for an early breakfast). There is not enough time in one day to visit two places. Windsor needs at least 4 hours: there is no point in being there without enough time to see the castle or the town properly. Even having booked my ticket for the castle on-line it still takes some time to go through security. Otherwise, enjoyed the trip.
