Great London experience!
Lori_H, May 2024
Great tour, Will was very entertaining despite it was pouring rain! He was easy to hear and had great information regarding this tour.
Benedict is great!
Tracy_T, May 2024
Our tour guide, Benedict, made this so interesting and fun! His sarcastic wit was a big hit with the whole group! He's very knowledgeable and made sure we siezed any possible opportunity to see the royals or the guard changes. Didn't see the royals, but did see the guard change up close as the Royal Guard made their way down the street on horses right in front of us! Got some great pics!
Fun times in the rain

Our most memorable part was our guide Will. He was entertaining, fun, knowledgeable, helpful and easy going. He made the entire experience worth it. Westminster abbey blew me away and other points of interest were fantastic.

Connor was a fantastic guide so knowledgeable and everything ran like clockwork. Tour was a good pace with plenty of breaks, photo ops.
Great tour!

Brandon was an excellent tour guide! Saw everything advertised and a few detours. Gave great practicable advice and answered all questions. Would recommend. Tickets to Westminster were included and for a proper time slot. Line into Westminster was long (>1 hour).
Will did a fine job. We...

Will did a fine job. We were a bit disappointed when we went to the Abby. The tickets provided were in the form of a voucher that we had to exchange for tickets. It required us to wait in a long line to exchange that was not our understanding of the service. I would do it differently next time.
Five stars for Brandon! One star for Westminster ticket line
Rebecca_F, Apr 2024
5 stars for Brandon! He was an excellent guide. He’s American but has lived in London for several years and knows a lot about British history and many unique facts. He’s also super funny and knew how to keep us engaged and together on a busy Saturday morning. Highly recommend him as a guide. The downside is that we still had to stand in line for about 30 minutes at Westminster to get in even though we had tickets through the tour company. That was a real bummer and the tour description is misleading since it says no waiting in line.
Great Overview of Westminster
Duane_K, Apr 2024
We enjoyed the overview of the Westminster area. Our tour guide, Will, did an amazing job talking with everyone in our group!
Great, well thought - through tour!
Natasha_D, Apr 2024
Nick is the bestest tour guide! He is a great historian, actor, communicator and pathfinder. Not a minute lost in spite of London marathon the day before. Will recommend his lordship to all my friends.
Yes, we saw King Charles!

Will was our guide and did a terrific job. He shared lots of history on our walking tour and knew when and where to be in order to see the king go into Buckingham Palace.
Awesome and educational!
Guillermo_G, Apr 2024
Very professional people explaining the history of the country and the all the details of the tour. I really enjoyed it.
Great tour but city messed up
Ed_E, Apr 2024
Very good guide and great tour. Weather was awful. And with the london marathon on Sunday, they closed a ton of roads in the area of St. James park so we missed the changing of the guards. Ugh.
Great tour with a not so great ending.
Brian_B, Apr 2024
Great tour and overview of the Westminster area of London, all made possible by our guide Mark. He provided great history in a very entertaining and humorous way. Our tour way about 30 minutes longer than scheduled but this was OK. Two issues that are needing to be addressed, the original start time was to be 12:00, it was changed to 10:00, this caused our group to deal with a meal several hours late along with jet lag causing issues. Our last issue is with Westminster Abbey’s operations; must staff in the Abbey were cordial, however two very notable issues happened. 1, there was poor signage leading us to the entry and as a result a curt security guard at the North gate stopped us as we went to enter the open gate, and in his rudeness he would not even direct us to the entry. 2, one of the staff in the Abbey rudely and loudly commented about people who miss signage that tried to direct people to curve left. Shame on the Abbey to leave use with a very unfavorable of Londoners.
Very good walking tour
Marcus_W, Apr 2024
Easy to find meeting location. Will was a very knowledgeable host and helped us get very good access to locations.
Amazing guide, tour and King Charles sighting!
Dale_T, Apr 2024

My favorite tour in London
Elisa_V, Apr 2024
Will was amazing! He was knowledgeable and polite and wasn’t rushed at all. I had an amazing time and I’m so glad I booked this tour!
Informative and fun tour
Karen_S, Apr 2024
This was a great tour. Connor, our guide was so much fun and made the experience fantastic. He really knows his stuff...in fact he hustled us up to Buckingham Palace when he saw the royal flag flying so we could see King Charles. He provided so much info and funny and interesting antidotes. Recommend this tour to get a feel for the very historic parts of London.
Highly recommended
LARA_w, Apr 2024
