Great experience was with our guide Wesley. Gave great historical background of the palace and a history of the royal succession. Great stories of only thins a student of history would know. Got us to positions where we could see the guards changing and the bands that escorted them. Saw the changing of the horse mounted sentries. Walked to Westminster parliament and had a historical explanation of the parliament and abbey. If you book be sure to ask for Wesley.
Sheldon was a terrific guide. An excellent historian and communicator. Extremely knowledgeable on the history of London as well as the royal family.
We had a very enjoyable experience with our guide Sheldon Goodman. He was very informative and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We would definitely recommend him. 5 stars from us.
