Loved seeing parts of London I probably would have overlooked. Loved the stories. Knowledgable and nice guide but was very opinionated and made it awkward for several guests on several occasions.
Adrian was very knowledgeable and aware of the heat issue. We missed our original group and Adrian allowed us to join his group. Much appreciated. Loved the experiencing of most all London had to offer. Experience of a lifetime. Thanks
Great guide, filled with personality. See a lot in a short period of time! Anecdotes and views aplenty!
Great, thorough tour! Our guide was extremely knowledgable and showed us around so many incredible sites. It was a great way to start the trip being our first time in London - we learned quickly how to navigate the city.
A very interesting and fun walk with tourgide Arianne took us along many highlights of London. 4,5 hours true pleasure!
This was such a fun overview of Westminster and London. Will was really entertaining and in such good spirits, despite the record-breaking heat. The history he gave at all the stops put everything into context and really brought the sites alive.
Great trip, Dan was amusing and knowledgeable. The trip was a little long , might have been good to have an hour lunch break in the middle
Our guide, Benedict was hilarious. It was like a stand-up comedy routine at each site. He was extremely knowledgeable and full of historical stories that were always funny, and always informative. The pace was not crazy vigorous it was very doable. A great overview of the city and history of royalty in England.
We had an awesome guide, who ensured that we were able to see an incredible amount of notable sights in a short period of time. He made sure that the group had an understanding of significant facts and history. We strongly recommend this tour for those looking to see as much possible in a 5 hour period!
It was very good with Benedikt. Thank you.
