Westminster tour with Joe As Our Guide
We were extremely lucky to have Joe for our tour guide for the Westminster tour. He was extremely funny and knowledgeable. We also happen to tour on the day the Parliament session opened so Joe knew the exact place to see the King when we passed by. This was an amazing tour. Highly recommended.

Excellent walking tour of Westminister
Will was an excellent guide through Westminister. Walking tour is well paced and Will is funny, interesting, and attentive to other crowds and groups so that we had our own space to gather and take in the sites and Changing of the Guard. Highly recommend!
