Find your guide located on the street right behind Parliament Square. When facing the Abbey with Big Ben on your left, walk to the right along Parliament Square and cross one street. Your guide will be waiting in front of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, holding a sign that says "The Tour Guy." Your tour will end inside the Tower of London.
Please wear comfortable shoes since you'll be on your feet for the majority of this tour. There is a lot of walking, so we also recommend a water bottle and perhaps some snacks too.

We had the opportunity to be with Marguerite on the 1st of February 2025. She is the most knowledgeable person. She knows every monarch and location like the back of her hand. Having done this for 42 years, she still has quite a gait in her step. It was a pleasure to spend a full day with her. I would highly recommend her!

My son and I came to London and we wanted a guided tour of some of the great historical sites that London has to offer. Our tour guide, Toby, was great. He was warm and funny and his depth of knowledge on Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palce, St, James Palace and the Tower of London was simply amazing. Toby answered all of our questions and he made sure that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. I would do this tour again!

A fast-paced tour of London Highlights - like a VIP

Ariana was an absolutely amazing tour guide. It was like being on a VIP tour because she led us to the front of every line so we could be the first in to a space (especially Westminster) and get the best views/photos. She even criss crossed us across a park during the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace so that we could see both bands and guards up close - even though it was the busiest week of the year! She then knew exactly where to stand so that we could see the finale.
Her tour of Tower of London was very insightful and she even paused to take photos of each family with a 'crown' on our heads and with the Beefeater. When the line to the dungeon was moving too slow she then took control of the entire situation and helped ease the bottle neck for all attendees - not just the members of our group.
At all attractions, she knew the workers and afforded our group extra privileges. We would never have seen a fraction of the attractions without this tour and Ariana. If you have a day to see the highlights of London, then definitely book this tour. You will get your steps in - we walked 24,000 steps that day at a brisk pace and loved every minute of it.

I have one of the best guided tour of my life. My tour guide was Daniel. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to see the most iconic places in "London in a day Tour..." and he took time to answer all the questions . Very informative tour and I enjoyed my time here in London. For sure will come back next year and check w the tour guy company.
