- B9568EDyolandah0 contributionsWestminster Walking Tour: Big Ben, Changing of the Guard, Westminster Abbey etc.Connor was the best tour guide. He has a great sense of humor, in depth knowledge of the sights and enormous amounts of patience. I even got to sing with him when he mentioned the Grand Old Duke of York. Our walking tour coincided with the farmers strike, which found Connor competing over the blaring horns. We all took it in stride and it made for very unique memories. He was good about checking in with the group, making sure the pace was comfortable and everyone had ample time for pictures and questions. We had a perfect view of the Changing of the Guards. I definitely would recommend Connor as a guide!Written February 12, 2025

Sam was motivated, entertaining and very knowledgeable around Harry Potter world. We have enjoyed the tour. 5 stars from us! One consideration: The trip could have been slightly longer- with more places to see. Break 20 minutes to enjoy delicious donuts and souvenirs shop with children was somewhat too short. Otherwise all greatWritten February 9, 2025
- Culture143921346020 contributionsEnjoyable walking tourIt was first time for my husband in London, so we decided to take walking tour, which did not take too long, as the weather was really cold. We really enjoyed it. It was actually a nice relaxing stroll and the time duration was perfect. Our guide, Wil, was really knowledgeable, informative and also funny. Our group had quite good laugh while also learning about British Royal history. Highly recommended especially if you don't have much time in London, as you can see quite many historical buildings and the changing of guards.Written February 9, 2025

Nick Benjamin was our afable, funny and very knowledgeable super tour guide this morning. He had many very interesting, crazy, hilarious and at times legitimately gory anecdotes about British history, the royal family, the Scotland Yard, and everything in between. Our three hours passed very quickly and we had a great time learning and enjoying ourselves despite the cold and rainy weather. Would highly recommend this tour, and especially, Nick as a terrific tour guide!

Christopher was an excellent tour guide! Could answer all our crazy questions. This tour was above and beyond my expectations. Put us exactly where we needed to be for the parades and did not waste our time waiting around. Impeccable timing! Only thing was we didn’t have time to go to Kensington Palace after the tour because we had Phantom tickets. Which was ok because the rest of the tour was wonderful. If you book this tour and want to do Kensington plan for 6&1/2-7 hours. But the three hour tour with Christopher was worth every penny! Highly recommend and request Christopher. He’s not only knowledgeable but so funny and friendly!

The very handsome Christopher H lead us on this walking tour. He was funny, personable and knowledgeable! He worked to get the near viewing of the changing of the guard. He pointed out interesting things we would not have noticed on our own. He stayed around until everyones questions were answered. Money and time well spent!

Yes. Because the tour included being able to see the changing of the guards which was cancelled because of the marathon. Not your fault but you could have told us before we purchased tickets. And I didn’t purchase tickets to Kensington palace to see Self indulged American celebrities Met Gala gowns. I’m American and I don’t watch the Academy Awards or the Met Gala red carpet. Kensington palace was a waste of my money. I would have expected to see some of the history of the generations of Royals who lived there including recent history. The Queen Victoria rooms were appreciated but Queen Elizabeth reigned for 70 years and not a word about her or her family. The 3 was generous and only because Kim was an informative and friendly guide.

Our tour Tanya was excellent. With regard to the advertising of this tour, we felt a little mislead on what we were going to I experience. We had no time to see Westminster Abby or Parliament. We could have circled back but had no time because we were locked into a specific time to see Kensington Palace of which we needed to taxi into another direction.

Nathaniel was a fantastic tour guide! He focused on the cool stories and history around the historical places and monuments we visited, rather than just telling stale facts about just the architecture or something. He was super knowledgeable, and you could tell he loves what he does because of his passion. I also loved that he brought us to see the changing of the guards at two different palaces, including Buckingham palace, but managed to keep us from being caught in the crowds so we didn’t get bored and got to see other things too! Highly recommend!!!
