The weather was perfect. Tour guide was very nice. We hade time and opportunities to take some good pictures. Im happy that i took part in this trip .
The Westminster walking tour was fabulous. Mark, our guide was great. He was very knowledgeable about the history of London and entertained with the stories. The day we went we were lucky enough to see some pageantry as the king was meeting the Japanese Emperor. We saw the regiments line the mall and the cavalry, regimental band and heard 21 cannon salute. The King also passed us along the mall. All this was great for us and Mark ensured we got to good spots for viewing the proceedings. He also had to deal with road closures and to ensure we saw other places as well as getting us to the end points were other tours were booked. The tower bridge was interesting but could have given it a miss.
To visit such and iconic landmark was amazing. The staff were helpful, the information informative and the atmosphere great. A must see for any first time visitor to London.
What an absolutely fabulous day, Adrian was fantastic as a tour guide. He kept everyone entertained and engaged. We saw the changing of the guard with a special treat of seeing the King arrive at work. Thank you Adrian form making our first visit to London a special one!
We had the best day today. Our tour guide Adrian was knowledgeable, clever and very creative in his approach. It was the most enjoyable day, we were even lucky enough to see King Charles arriving at Buckingham Palace.
Wonderful visit thanks also to the guide Benedict, very good and funny. Very enjoyable Tower Bridge audio guide.
We had a wonderful walking tour of Westminster Area with Thora, she was so knowledgeable and funny. She took us to the best places to stand and see the changing of the guards both at Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace as well as where to stand in Trafalgar Square. It was a quick 3 hours and then it was over and we finished up in Parliament Square. Thanks again Thora - loved the group photo :)
Amber was truly a delight! Loved this tour and very informative! Wonderful that we were able to go inside and view and questions were easily answered. We had a great time
