Wonderful and informative stroll - Adam was an absolutely fantastic tour guide who shared incredible knowledge and firsthand experience about London throughout our walking tour. We felt like we got a truly unique, firsthand experience to watch the Changing of the Guard. Adam brought us to some amazing spots that were not overly crowded so that we could be right at the front of the action and we greatly enjoyed his commentary as we walked. We could not recommend this tour enough - it has been one of our favorite activities of the whole trip!
