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 one day to see the best of London and Adrian did not disappoint. We learned about multiple Richards, Edwards, Elizabeths and Henrys just to name a few. Westminster Abbey was spectacular, the spring flowers around Buckingham Palace were gorgeous and the Tower of London menacing!

My family had an amazing experience with this tour. Dan, our tour guide, was very informative and engaging. He provided great insight into the history and nuances life as it relates to each site seen, and was able to connect with all of the tour participants. I highly recommend this walking tour, especially if you’re a young family wanting to see the sites without a long wait in a fun and engaging manner!

Jeremy was an amazing tour guide! Funny, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. He knew where to go to see different changing of the guards ceremonies, walked us around at a good pace, and even made food recommendations. My only suggestion is for during the Tower of London part, to allow for maybe 10 minutes to go inside each building (Bloody Tower, Prison, Suite over the Traitors Gate) after the history so we aren’t just looking at the outside and having to spend extra time after the tour ended to go in. The group size was great and overall the tour was very enjoyable.
Great tour...

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!
