Definitely one of the BEST tour guides out there! - Vivian’s tour of Westminster was exceptional. She is a wealth of knowledge and welcomed all of our questions. Westminster is so large and daunting to visit, this guided tour is a MUST to get the most out of your experience. Afterwards she perfectly positioned us to enjoy the changing of the guards—all while entertaining us with British history and tradition—Thank you Vivian!

Vivian was a perfect... - Vivian was a perfect guide. From start to finish, she was thorough and efficient, and kept us exactly on time to catch all the highlights. Although the trip through the Abbey was a little shorter then we'd hoped, it allowed us to catch the changing of the guards from 3 different locations along the parade route which was awesome! Vivian has an immense knowledge of the Abbey, as well as history around the London area. We were a group of 6 friends, and we all loved this experience. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see the highlights of Westminster, as well as the changing of the guards.
