Great tour!
Aaron was fun and very knowledgeable! My husband and I really enjoyed the tour :)
M
Great look at English history
We really enjoyed Westminster Abbey. Such a historic and beautiful place, with 3000 of the most famous monarchs and people of England laid to rest. Well worth checking out if you're visiting London, one of the highlights for sure. Our 2 hour tour staring at buckingham palace was also very interesting. Our guide was Aaron, and he was friendly, funny and answered all the questions we had. Thanks Aaron!
