A fun informative tour - Our tour guide Kim was upbeat, informative and walked at a good pace looking after the whole group. Changing of the guard was a highlight along with Kim’s stories.

Touring the UK - The tour was amazing. Spent a day in the UK and saw most of what majority of what I wanted to with this walking tour. Tour guide Nick was informative, quirky, and just a joy to listen too. He also gives great affordable suggestions about food/beer in the area.

Thumbs up! - We choose this tour to jump into London and the English language on the first day of our London holiday week. It turned out to be an excellent choice - the guide Sandra was perfect to understand even for us as non native spaekers and she knew all the right places to be at the perfect time when it comes to the Chance of Guards. Perfectly nice experience for a family with two children from Germany. Thumbs up!!!

Absolutely worth it! - Brandon was the best walking tour guide we had in all of Europe so far! Stellar storytelling, creative and fun picture spots (he helped take photos), and he also did a quick break in the middle to grab water/bathroom! I think a LOT of tours forget we need water to walk in the heat, but his delivered! Was sad when it was over. Thanks for a magical London tour!

Walking Site Tour - Had a great experience on the walking tour with Kim. Gave a good explanation of things. The only thing I would change is getting to the changing of the guard site earlier. Some in the group wanted to actually see when they change and not just marching to and from the palace.

Amanda rocks! - Amanda was so knowledgeable and led us through the tour safely and navigated us around unexpected closures and protests that derailed the normal route. She provided helpful tips for the rest of our stay, and gave each group personal attention about their trip to make them feel confident about their itinerary and visit. Loved Amanda!

Informative but longer than necessary - Seeing all of westminister was great but for not going inside any attractions, the tour could have been done faster. We started as a group of almost 20 and ended with just 3 couples (1 couple left after 30 min, a big fam of 7 left shortly after and then a fam of 4 left an hour later). Def not good for families with little kids.

Good but honest advertising and having access to company contact numbers could make it better - I loved the presenter she was amazing and informative
While the advertising said I believe a group of 15-20 there were in excess of 30 booked with still others a no show. Advertising didn’t mention walking trip till near the end of the tour description
