Great tour with an amazing guide!! - The guide Alan was brilliant! He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun and entertaining with the jokes he made… he also made sure we got the best views away from the crowds and from quite close up too so I would definitely recommend this tour, and even better if you get Alan as your guide!😁

Alan the amazing tour guide - Alan was tremendous.!!!!! He was very informative, history with a sense of humor. I don’t know how he managed it but he got us to the best viewing spots, while other groups had to run to get back row glimpses. We were feet away from the guards and their horses the entire tour. So worth taking the tour, a fantastic memorable experience..

Allen was great! - If the changing of the guard is important to you—this is the tour! Be sure you pick a day that the guards are changing ( not every day). Allen was amazing! Very knowledgeable and we saw more of the guards and horses the. I expected. Really close up!

An excellent tour with an excellent guide - My family and I went to the Royal Westminster tour on our last day in London. It was an excellent way to finish our trip. I loved this tour ang highly recommend it. Our guide, Alan, had so many interesting facts to tell us. He explained everything in a very clear, funny and enjoyable way. He wanted us to make the most of the tour, he showed us the best places to see the guards. Thank you very much, Alan, this tour was one of my favourite moments in London.
