Nathaniel is the best! What a fantastic and entertaining overview of London! - Nathaniel was fantastic. He managed our small group well, told great stories, and kept just about a perfect balance in vital historical events without going too deep. This was a highlight of our vacation.

Insightful and entertaining - Mark was an amazing tour guide! He was very entertaining and enthusiastic about history and the city of London. He made the trip very entertaining for my teenage sons and we never felt rushed even though we had many sites to see. Thank you for such a great afternoon tour!

A fun way to see historical London in one day - Highly recommend this walking tour! Our guide was Nathaniel and he was excellent! In 5 hours we saw all of the main sights you can think of and learned so many historical and interesting facts! We got a great front spot for the changing of the guards too. This is a great way to see all of the main historical spots in one day and then you can choose to go back another time to take a closer look. Take this tour!

Need to change the name to "A walking tour of the History of the Royals" - I wanted a walking tour of the 30 Top London sights and what we got was a walking tour of just a few blocks around Buckingham Palace. I wanted to see the top sights of London that London is famous for. We started out with 11 people and about an hour in the walk 5 of them left because they wanted to see the areas that people go to London to see. Not only old buildings that royals lived in a couple hundred years ago. When we got to the place where the mounted guards are famous for being, it was too late to see them because they stop at 4 pm, we also were at Westminster Abby (our last stop) and it was closed. I knew we would not be going in during the walk, but we had hoped to go in after since we were there. She pointed at Big Ben which was in the distance so I guess that could count as one of the 14 sites she showed us. Our guide knew the history of all the kings and queens and walked at a great pace for the different ages in her group. I just wished I would have used my money to go on a hop on/hop off so I could have seen over 30 Top London Sites.
