Jackie blew us away with her knowledge of London and its history. Always the polite hostess, she was everything you'd expect in an English lady. Thank you for a fabulous tour.

Westminster Abbey and Changing of the Guard

Natalya was an engaging guide with lots of historical and anecdotal knowledge. She was particularly considerate of my husband, who was in a wheelchair, making sure he could fully participate in the tour. Seeing the Abbey through her eyes was terrific.
Changing of the Guard was disappointing and not what we expected. We saw one marching band of Gurkhas, but thought we would actually see the guards at their posts.

Jane was the perfect tour guide! Due to rain, a few people arriving late, and some initial tech issues with sound, we were a bit delayed in entering Westminster Abbey. Jane made sure she efficiently showed us all of the most interesting and important parts of the Abbey. She still managed to get us to changing of the guard on time, and she knew all of the perfect spots to view the various parts of the ceremony which is more amazing than attempting to fight crowds to look through the palace gates to watch the quick exchange between guards. Seeing the horse parade and watching the guards march with the music was so much more impressive and we were able to see both the new guard arriving and the old guard leaving. We were impressed with Jane’s time management and her ability to connect with everyone. She was friendly and warm and we had such a wonderful time with her!

We had a fabulous and fun tour with Padder as our very funny and knowledgeable guide! Unfortunately, there was no Changing of the Guards today but that gave us more time in the Abbey. Definitely recommend a morning tour then being part of the masses standing forever in queue!

Lots and lots of great history ! We did not get to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham but rather the parade down the street. This was very disappointing for us and by the time we got to the palace area it was too late to get close. Very detailed history at Westminster and we did get in very early there and leaned a great deal. That sort of the tour was fantastic
Excellent tour.

This a fine tour especially with the changing of the guard. Ariana is a walking encyclopedia. She handles the group well and gives a remarkable narration. Wear good shoes and dress for the weather.
