Our tour guide - Cliff - made the walking tour fly by. He had wonderful anecdotes about the various sites we visited and made us really want to return to London to see more.

Perfect viewing of changing of The Guard
Kristen_K
, Aug 2022
I had an amazing experience on this tour! My tour guide Joe was so much fun and very knowledgable about the city and especially about navigating the changing of The Guard at Buckingham Palace. He positioned our group perfectly to get the best viewing and experience of this amazing event. I learned a great deal about the history of the city and The Monarchy. Joe was so positive, upbeat, kind and considerate. I finished my day with a tour of Westminster Abbey (the ticket was purchased with the tour and handed to me at the beginning of the tour...this made things very stress free). Nothing short of a perfect day for me. I would highly recommend this experience! Enjoy!

Witty, knowledgable guide who took us off the beaten path.

Well done, Christopher. After spending a good few days exploring Westminster through various means, we were expecting "a lot of the same" for this tour. We were wrong...we ventured off the beaten path, got some great stories dating back hundreds of years, and learned plenty of new great Westminster facts. The sites/sights are outstanding, everything I'd imagined over the last 30+ years. Great experience!

Tim, a younger Sean Connery, brought his weighty knowledge of history and interesting anecdotes together in a spectacular tour. One of the best, if not the best, walking tours I've had in my many European travels.

Clint, our guide, made our tour so memorable. He is an amazing fountain of information! No question goes unanswered. His tour is perfectly structured from start to finish and finishes at Westminster Abbey. Though tour guides are no part of your trip inside the Abbey, Clint handed us tickets for entry and directed us as to where to go. All very convenient. His wit and sense of history and humor make the tour fly by in no time. My wife and I enjoyed it tremendously and highly recommend!

The description did not match the actual tour. Everyone thought more time and emphasis was going to be placed on Westminster Abbey.

Hi Faith The Westminster Abbey element of the tour is after the walking tour of the Westminster area. Guests get to enjoy the Abbey at length after the walking tour so that it isnt rushed and guests can enjoy the building at their own pace :)

Not worth the price
Kathleen_P
, Jul 2022
Not the tour that was advertised. We were supposed to be in a SMALL group, no more than 8-10 people. Our group was almost 20. We mostly just crisscrossed St James Park and just stood around watching the changing of the guard from different areas. A very long 3 hours and we didn’t learn very much. Our tour guide knew less about British History than I did. At the end we were directed to tour Westminster Abbey on our own - again, no background, no historical information was provided. This was not at all what I purchased.

Hi Kathleen Apologies for the group size, sometimes we have an overwhelming amount of guests book last minute which swells the group size. My fault, apologies I will speak to the guide who showed you around to ensure the historical knowledge is improved, i am very surprised at this comments as on the whole the guides that show guests around are very well versed in British History and also the Abbey Again : pls accept my apologies regarding group size Best Wishes

An average Tour
Lily_L
, Jul 2022
The tour was OK. We didn't seem to have been given a lot of detailed historical stories or sites as we had hoped to hear or see, and we were mostly focusing on catching the changing of the guards. Also, while the description of the tour specifically indicated "Avoid long lines with entry to Westminster Abbey included", tickets are given outside the Abbey, so entry to the Abbey is on your own THROUGH THE LONG LINE. I wouldn't bother with the tour next time.

Hi Lily The queue to purchase tickets is always huge at the Abbey. Sorry you had to wait in line to enter. Its July and post COVID the number of guests coming to London has increased dramatically Best wishes

Jill was a fabulous tour guide. She was cheerful, energetic, and entertaining. She had the route well-planned so that we saw all the sights without getting stuck in the big crowds. The tour was three hours with a bathroom/snack break in the park. Would definitely recommend this tour! Would also highly recommend going into Westminster Abbey at the end of the tour! It was amazing!

Lots of walking and standing at back of crowd to see changing of the guards. More walking thru the crowd to see the "real" changing of the guards. We did not get to see the fake battle between the two garrisons. But we did see the queens horse guard riding up the street. Good stories of the royals of long ago.

Very, very boring guide don't do this one
Sam_S
, Jul 2022
Guide was not good at all. His stories were long and not interesting. The group was huge like 24 people..ridiculous with very busy crowds....he would get so far ahead of most the group. We could only dodge people coming from all sides. He lost many people stuck at lights and trying to walk single file with so many people. He would then start talking and half the group was not caught up to hear what he was saying. He definitely was burned out on doing this tour and it showed in his boring delivery.

Im not sure what to reply to this review. The guide you mention is probably one of the best guides in London.... Apologies though for the group size, this has happened a few times in the month of July : too many last minute bookings putting stress on the groups. My fault and we are rectifying this Best wishes

very informative walking tour. Guide knew where and when to watch the changing of the guard and the return of the troops to the baracks near Buckingham palace. Only thing that would have been better is if the guide went into Westminster Abbey with us and provided insight on the abbey.
