Very informative - We had a great walk with our guide Greg and we were lucky enough to see part of the dress rehearsal parade for the kings birthday…it meant we missed out on a couple of stops but the parade more than made up for it.

Would 100% do again! - Excellent tour and wonderful guide, who expertly positioned us to see the new Queen drive by. We chose the river cruise after the walking tour.

Westminster Tour - Ariane was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable and considerate of her group which consisted of seniors. Kept us cool in the shade as much as possible while making sure that we saw all the sights from great vantage points. I highly recommend this tour!

Elliot is an amazing guide and cruise is so exciting! - Elliot is a fantastic tour guide, such a lovely and enthusiastic man who does his job well. Loved learning about all the history associated with London. It makes London so much more exciting. Even as a Brit myself, I wasn’t aware of all the history, so Elliot did a fab job explaining everything in an exciting manner, cracking jokes here and there. Loved the spirit. Would give 10 stars if I could. I even took a selfie with him at the end, lovely man! The cruise itself was such an exciting experience, loved every minute! Gorgeous views of London buildings, hotels, the Shard, London Eye etc, and loved seeing Tower Bridge - perfect angle. Would go again.

London River Cruise and Eye - Had a fantastic view of Thames River along with the architectural buildings. Worth the money for spending £40 on an entry ticket.
