There are many tour operators around the world. In some cities or countries taking a tour is a good investment. My mom and I did take Trafalgar Tours during our trips and we were glad we did the first time, especially in Paris.
However this time in London I did not go on as many tours. I wanted to see certain sights and be able to make my own schedule. I didn't have to worry about the time nor make conversation with everyone else. I came to London to see the sights!
Obviously if I go to Krakow or Rome I would definitely take a couple of tours and book through a tour company. But for the United Kingdom I don't think it is necessary for me.
First I am an Anglophile so right there I can manage. Walking, taking a bus, or train can get me where I want to go. I don't mind taking a short city tour or a walking tour of a certain sight. The recent trip to England I was disappoint that we didn't spend more time in Oxford (which is so beautiful) and Stratford-Upon-Avon. I only went on one day tour because I really wanted to go to Oxford and Shakespeare's Birthplace. Next time I would take a train to those places (trains in the United Kingdom are so much different in terms of schedules and areas covered). On the tour we were really pressed for time. But next time I will do the U.K. through an airline or on my own.
