Great Toir! - The very handsome Christopher H lead us on this walking tour. He was funny, personable and knowledgeable! He worked to get the near viewing of the changing of the guard. He pointed out interesting things we would not have noticed on our own. He stayed around until everyones questions were answered. Money and time well spent!

Perfect tour! No time wasted! Book now! - Christopher was an excellent tour guide! Could answer all our crazy questions. This tour was above and beyond my expectations. Put us exactly where we needed to be for the parades and did not waste our time waiting around. Impeccable timing! Only thing was we didn’t have time to go to Kensington Palace after the tour because we had Phantom tickets. Which was ok because the rest of the tour was wonderful. If you book this tour and want to do Kensington plan for 6&1/2-7 hours. But the three hour tour with Christopher was worth every penny! Highly recommend and request Christopher. He’s not only knowledgeable but so funny and friendly!

Waking your A+ / the final on my own part was not so great and confusing - Our group had a fantastic tour guide Ashley. He is incredibly knowledgeable, great, it was a joy to be on the walking tour with him. So many details and interesting facts he shared with us. However, there was some misunderstanding - not clear from the title of the tour. I thought I would be on a guided tour from beginning to the end. So pay attention to the route. I am new to London and had no idea that walking group part of the tour is far from Kensington palace. I had a great time anyways. But that’s the only reason why I give this tour 4 starts - the route is not clear, my final destination was very far from the area we explored together. It was pretty hard for me (was my first day in London) to figure out the route. However walking part was fantastic. And Ashley is THE best tour guide!
