We had the pleasure of a London landmarks walking tour with Louis. The group was small which added to our enjoyment. Louis was a superb guide full of knowledge that allowed him to offer much deeper explanations where we had interest and questions. We appreciated the many excellent family photos at all the best landmarks thanks to Louis! He positioned us in the best locations always a bit away from the big crowds. The pace was steady enough to never get boring but we stopped for breaks when desired. This tour was a key experience during our visit to London and Louis made it even better!
Great overview of major sites that you can visit. We got off the plane and headed over to hear the highlights from Lewis our tour guide.
Great tour with Lewis! Well worth the time.
The guide was friendly and shared many interesting anecdotes, which made the tour more lively. On the other hand, people who do not speak English unfortunately cannot enjoy it, because the associated application is limited to a simple description of the sites visited. It lacks interactivity and does not transcribe the guide's explanations and anecdotes.
