This tour was honestly worth the money and our tour guide Adrian was funny and made the trip interesting and fun
Adrian was such an amazing tour guide. I had been to London before and learned a lot of new and interesting facts. My entire family kept mentioning how much we enjoyed this tour. Adrian also knew many off the beaten path spots for us to get the best experiences.
Great facts and we covered a lot of ground! It was actually 2 hours long and was mislabeled we only saw the changing of the guard. We did not get a tour of Buckingham Palace inside or out of it.
Great experience . Thank you . Very informative
Adrian was an incredible guide! He knew the best ways to maneuver around to see the changing of the guards. Made sure to keep the group together and had plenty of photo opportunities. He knew lots of fun facts about the foundation of British history.
The tour guide Adrien was so great!
Changing of the guard is notoriously busy with guides hosting for the best place, our guide did very well despite the interference of a other guide
Adrian was very knowledgeable about the changing of the guards and knew all the best stops even despite having a large crew. He was clear, concise and well spoken and had care about every individual making sure we all stayed in the shade. His patience and being quick on his feet was amazing and we showed up exactly at 12 o’clock at Big Ben to hear her ring. This tour was truly fantastic. Thank you
Nice guide and visit very sympatic !!
