Fun tour (even in the rain) - Our guide Jason did an admirable job leading a group of 15 wide eyed tourists for 3 hours through a downpour (sort of provided the quintessential London experience of carrying on in the rain). We saw Buckingham Palace, various marching guard units, and other iconic locations. Didn't make it to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, so can't comment on it.

Covers many places, Sherlock’s Holmes Museum - It covers numerous places of interest. Be sure to ask for your tickets for the Sherlock Holmes museum. The walking tour really doesn’t cover anything pertaining to Sherlock Holmes.

Very knowledgeable tour guide - Fun tour with Ashley as our tour guide very informative. Covered a lot of sites and we saw the king! I am traveling with my 15 year old son and we both enjoyed the tour. You walk for 3 hours so be prepared with water and good walking shoes!

Loved It! - Our tour guide, Will, was exceptional. He was personable, knowledgeable and witty. He graciously poked fun at himself and really got our group chortling! He was able to go off topic without skipping a beat and could easily adapt to the unexpected….the unexpected being the drive-by of King Charles followed by the coronation rehearsal of the guard and all branches of the military for which Will successfully shepherded us to front row ‘seats’! Most definitely recommend this tour and particularly Will. Our only regret is we didn’t sign up for the 5 hour tour. We could have easily spent another 2 hours with Will.

Good experience, need to plan ahead though - The walking tour was amazing. Loved all the information given by the guide who clearly knew their stuff. However, would have liked to know beforehand that the three hours of the tour does not include the time for the museum. And you need to make your own way there after the walking tour.

No help getting to the Museum after the walking tour. - The Sherlock Holmes tour seemed to be an afterthought. The walking tour was great! But after three hours of walking around London I was dropped off at a Tube Station and to told which Line to take and what station to get off and that was it! Not which way to go after arriving at the station or which signs to look for in the station. I thankful the residents of London are friendly and helpful. It was very stressful trying to find my way to the Museum.

Not great - The guide was in a hurry and wanted to avoid crowds, which were inevitable with the sights we paid to see. Every time we would try to briefly pause and take a picture, we looked up and panicked to try and find our guide who seemed to almost try to lose us. Some of our tour group left after a couple of stops; not sure if it was intentional or they weren’t able to keep up. Guide seemed to justify his poorer manners as “having typical dry British humor”. Sherlock was totally on our own. We needed to ride the underground to the stop ourselves and we didn’t realize there was a time associated with our entry as we didn’t book those tickets ourself. Thus, we missed the timed entry and had to wait in a large general admission line.
