Review of London’s Borough Market doughnut tour, with four stops, tea, Tower Bridge views, guide tips, pricing, and practical advice.

Review of Galeries Lafayette VIP shopping with lounge access, Ladurée tea, tax refund help, rooftop views, bag delivery, and private transfer.
“If you want to be treated like royalty, this is the experience. You go to the lounge, have a drink-champagne, coffee, soda, etc. Relax for a minute and go out to the magnificent Galeries Lafayette and shop to you drop. We explored the store, then went across the street to the Home Store. Just beautiful to walk around. Back to GL and to Angelinas for a delicious lunch. Little more shopping and back to the lounge. You get your tax refund info (bring passport) , so when you get to airport it’s easy. Then they bring a car and off to your hotel with all your goodies. Loved it.”
