This tour was amazing. If you can request a guide I would say to ask for Ashley! He was amazing. I could not believe the knowledge he had and he made it SO much fun and entertaining. As a first time couple to London this was the perfect tour!
Ash was a fantastic tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and super entertaining. The tour it self was great. East walking and great sites
Conner was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and informative. Definitely recommend. Best part about palace self guided tour was portrait of King Charles. Know it’s controversial but we loved it.
Jason, the tour guide did a great job, was very informative, considerate of our friend using a scooter. Staff at Buckingham palace was also very kind and considerate.
This was an outstanding experience. We learned many new aspects of the British monarchy from our very knowledgeable guide. Most informative and well worth the money.
