Great historical tour - Our family of five had a wonderful morning tour with Charlotte. She was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and engaging - and even kept the attention of our three boys (ages 18, 15 and 11). She was lovely and made our tour fun and exciting. She also helped provide restaurant recommendations and tips on visiting other sites and attractions while in London.

A MUST DO! - We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Luke. Instead of focusing on how to get to different locations, we could follow him while listening to interesting stories about the history, language, and beauty that constitutes London.

This tour was one of our favorite parts of our trip - Jamie really made sure we were able to see the changing of the guards. Once he noticed my extra interest in the palace horses he took us on a route so I could see one on guard up close on our way to the Abbey. Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent tour, wonderful experience! - This tour was excellent and our tour guide Charlotte was fantastic! She guided us through the entire area of Westminster City while delivering the important history and context of the area and specific sites, all with an upbeat personality that held our attention and really helped us appreciate and understand what we were viewing. Her expertise about the changing of the guards is outstanding! She knew exactly where to have us stand for the best views without long wait times. She provided us information and tips above and beyond including how best to navigate the city and get to our next destination, and excellent lunch recommendations too! We highly recommend this tour and our tour guide Charlotte!
