The tour involves good amount of walking and is a good over view of the historic places. It has ticket of Westminster Abbey there is no guided tour of the Abby. So if you want to just go to the Abby you would be better of buying ticket for the Abby on the spot. Our guide Mark was very polite and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of background history and showed us important buildings which we would not have noticed. Thank you Mark for a memorable experience.

The tour was incredible! Ashley, our guide, taught us so much history in a short amount of time. He was funny and engaging. We were able to see all the major sights. The day was perfect!

This tour was necessary for my husband and me because there is no way we would have been able to find all of the places Ashley showed us. His knowledge of the royal world was so thorough and his stories were so entertaining. I had no idea he would be showing us the changing of the guard events and getting us basically a front row view. He knew the best places to see the parade. I particularly enjoyed seeing the dancing horses! (Not sure that was even a thing, but they sure did dance!) a few People seemed to have trouble keeping up with his pace, but they did it and in hindsight I’m sure they appreciated it. Thank you, Ashley!!!

This tour was amazing! Our tour guide Benedict was very knowledgeable. He made the experience very enjoyable and made us laugh. Best tour guide I’ve had on any tour that I have been on. Great tour!

Ashley was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. Just enough walking and rainy weather did not damper the experience.

I thought this tour included a guided tour of Westminster Abbey but it only included an entrance ticket. We missed the insights guides provide and found the audio provided by Westminster confusing to follow. However, the Westminster part aside, our tour leader Benedict was very personable and informative for the walking part of the tour. We have been to London serveral times but are always fascinated to learn more about each neighborhood.

Our walking tour of London was absolutely fabulous made even more entertaining by our very knowledgeable guide, Brendan. Being from the United States we expected the British experience on the tour, but to our surprise Brendan is from the US as well and provided us with his secret viewing places and so many tidbits we didn’t expect. The tour was informative and the three hours flew by. Highly recommend this walking tour!
