We had an amazing experience on this tour! Nathaniel was an incredible guide, extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and full of interesting stories and historical facts. He brought London's history to life and kept everyone interested from beginning to end. His passion for the city and his sense of humor made the experience even more enjoyable. He truly made this tour the highlight of our trip and a big part of what made our vacation so memorable. If you're considering this tour, we highly recommend it, and if you're lucky enough to have Nathaniel as your guide, you're in for a fantastic experience!
Chris was a great your guide. Informative and entertaining.
Ashley was a great tour guide and took us through the history of London while seeing all the main locations!
We really enjoyed much more then we thought we would have. Out your guide was Ashley and he made all the difference. He did a fantastic job of bringing the history to life. Would definitely do again.
Was suprised how much we enjoyed it. Our tour guide was Ash and he made all the difference. Great energy and really brought the history to life. Would definitely do it again!
Ashley was an awesome tour guide!! He was very knowledgable and entertaining. We were on our own for the Kengsington portion of the tour and had to figure out how to get there after the walking tour. This piece could have been handled better.
We had a wonderful Westminster tour with Tanya. She was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Tanya was truly an excellent guide. We rate her a A+. The separate individual self tour of Kensington Palace was average- limited area of the palace to tour.
Our tour guide was great and the tour of Westminster was wonderful. But at the end of the tour we had to take a taxi from Westminster to Kensington Palace because it was so far away . They after Kensington Palace we had to take a taxi back to our Hotel . Long day and lots of walking . Good excerise . If you book this tour remember there are lots of miles between these two tours .
Wonderful walking tour of the highlights in London and fantastic tour guide with a great sense of humor and very knowledgeable of London’s rich history. It was a very good experience and I highly recommend this tour!
We got to see all the most iconic and historical sites of London in such a short amount of time. Connor was our tour guide and he told us the most interesting and funniest stories about the people connected to the buildings and really brought the history to life. He made everyone feel welcome and I learned so much!
