Did this on 21 August. Sheldon was a marvellous guide, and to top it off, his info on Wellington Arch made it possible for me to on it two days later! In addition, we had a great lunch after the tour at the restaurant adjacent to Berry Bros and Rudd, which we otherwise would have never found.
Our tour guide was Laurence. He was GREAT. He was very knowledgeable, and a good sense of humor. Presented a mix of historical and pop culture knowledge
Sheldon was a great tour guide. Even though the hottest day of the year in London we had a wonderful time learning about London royal history and seeing the palace grounds.
