Greatly enjoyed our time strolling, learning, and strolling some more...it was a wonderful 3 hours! What made the tour so much more enriching was our tour guide Isobel, who was personable, humourous, and VERY knowledgeable about our surroundings...perfectly timing the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace! Request to have Isobel as you guide, a wise choice!
Great tour

Thank you Andrew for such a great tour of not only the Abbey but of parts of London. My first trip to London and I learnt so much about this city that I did not know. So enjoyable.
