Strolling through exciting history - We enjoyed the walk through the beautiful gardens. We were able to get right up close to the changing of the horse guard and the changing of the guard at the palace. The tour of the abbey was amazing. So much history to unpack.

Skip the Lines and Keep Moving - Janina was an excellent guide with interesting, relevant anecdotes. She was very patient with all questions yet moved us very efficiently through the growing crowds. The “skip the line” offerings are well worth it!

Excellent - Nick was extremely knowledgeable and had a great, lively delivery! I would highly recommend taking the tour with him. Early admission provided a great experience. We were alone when we entered the Abbey and had wonderful access for taking photos.

The best with James!! - Loved the tour! Our guide James was probably the BEST tour guide we ever had and we’ve been on 20 tours since April. James was funny and sooo personable. He literally shook everyone’s hand and spoke to everyone. He got us the best seats to see the guards and added some extra sights for us.

Such a great tour! - What a lovely day! Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the history. We enjoyed it very much. Only thing we’d change is less time watching changing of the guard and more time in St. James park (felt like we ran through it at fevers pitch).

Disappointing - We were sadly disappointed in our walking tour. Our guide seemed to assume that we had a good understanding of British history and aristocracy, which we didn’t. It would have been helpful to have somewhat of an overview. The emphasis was on stories of extramarital affairs and the demeaning of women, and the lust for power of the Kings and priests. Surely there was more to be learned. Originally, I thought we were to learn more about Big Ben and Buckingham Palace, but it was almost entirely spent at Winchester Cathedral, with no mention of Big Ben and with one photo taken across the street from The Palace. Due to the weather, there was no changing of the guard, although we hoped to see the horses. That was beyond the guide’s control. I wish now that we’d just spent 15 minutes on our own at Winchester Cathedral and spent the rest of the time at the British Museum, where we had a fantastic Viator tour.
