David was an excellent guide. Very funny and had a great many interesting facts. Our group was small and made it great.
Our tour guide, David, made the experience for my wife and I exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He went out of his way to discuss things with us and give us information that was far beyond what we had expected. Thank you so much, David, for the extra effort. You are the best.
I actually expected a tour inside the Palace, but I was not disapointed, as I learned much more about history and interesting places while walking through London. Our guide had formidable knowledge and could keep everyone entertained for over two and half hours, and this is really not easy.
Vincent, the tour guide was exceptional. Informative tour, easy walking with lot of photo opportunities. Highly recommended
Such a scam. The ticket shows it’s a guide tour, paid overpriced and when reached there there is no guide. Actually the studio doesn’t even provide guided tour. It’s better to buy entrance ticket directly from WB. Will escalate the issue
Dear Customer, I think you have put the wrong review, its not a studio nor we sell any tickets to WB, it was a Westminster guided walking tour, please clarify
My guide was Lee David. He and I got along great! He was professional, funny, fun, considerate, well in formed! I had a fabulous day! Thank you David Lee
Dave is an OUTSTANDING Guide. We thoroughly enjoyed his insight to the best locations for viewing, his knowledge of the history, and delightful personality. I highly recommend Dave and this tour
It was an amazing tour the guide was fantastic we had so much fun and the guide told us very interesting things about the palaces and the king. A must do tour
Our walking tour was really good. I thought we probably could have seen the changing of the guard without assistance but thanks to our guide Mick, who recognised the signs, we got to see Charles and Camilla very briefly, and we would never have realised if we hadn’t joined the tour. Well worth it
Worst experience ever with a tour company. They texted us the incorrect name of the location and missed the tour due to their mistake. They have refused to provide any form of refund.
