History buffs - We toured with Tom who was great! Extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer every question I had. And finished with a nice tea time at The Gore hotel with scones which is also apparently where Judy Garland stayed and has donated her bed from Hollywood. And lots of more obscure, interesting interesting brief stops along the way that would probably never get noticed had we not had someone guiding the way, like a childhood home of Churchill and Chopin’s last residence just down the street and the morbid (mostly accepted) story behind the chimney at Imperial college! Tons of history

A Royal walking tour - David’s guided Royal walk through Hyde Park and the Royal homes was truly exceptional. His depth of knowledge and passion for sharing the history of the Royals made the experience incredibly engaging and enlightening. With David as our guide, we not only strolled through the beautiful Hyde Park but also gained a deeper understanding of the significance of the Royal residences in the area. His thoroughness and enthusiasm truly enhanced the tour, making it a memorable and enriching experience. We especially appreciated his attention to detail and the personalized touch he brought to the tour. Highly recommended for anyone interested in delving into the rich history of the Royals!
