Our Tour Guide saved the day!! - We had a great time on the West Minster Walking Tour! Our guide, Nicholas is very knowledgeable, accommodating and entertaining. We were caught in city construction traffic and missed our start time. We were able to catch up to Nicholas’ group by walking the tour path. Although we were not scheduled with him, Nicholas welcomed us into his group and saved the day! I highly recommend this company/tour!

Excellent walking tour of Westinster - I was thoroughly impressed with our guide Mark. His thespian like voice really brought the tour to life. When it started raining, he even loaned his umbrella to a mother and daughter. I would highly recommend this tour and definitely recommend Mark as a tour guide....unless he becomes a famous actor. I'll be looking for you on the tele.

Awesome experience, definitely recommend - Mark was an excellent guide, and has the perfect voice to provide some very British narration of all the fascinating sights on the tour. Mark was very friendly, patient, and funny, and graciously gave up his umbrella like a true British gentleman when it started raining and he got rather soaked so a couple of folks on the tour could use his umbrella to stay dry. Admission to Westminster Abby was a breeze after the walking tour part was over.

A Lovely Walk through Westminster! - Mark was an amazing guide- so knowledgeable and full of energy. I really feel that we saw a great deal of Westminster and heard so much of the history in just 3 hours! One recommendation is to eat when you have a snack break. I don’t know whether it was the walking or the learning, but we were very hungry at the end. Luckily, the Red Lion Pub was able tot air good care of us!

The right place, the right time, and the right tour! - Benedict was engaging, knowledgable, and had an uncanny ability to place us in the right place at the right time: we were in the front row to see the King and Queen driving into the palace and were perfectly situated to see the Changing of the Guard!

Fantastic Westminster Walking Tour - Our Westminster Walking Tour was just wonderful thanks to our guide Mark who took us to all the best places and talked to us non-stop for over three hours about everything we saw. He has an encyclopaedical knowledge about the history of England and of London/Westminster, and as an actor his delivery was fantastic. I highly recommend this tour.
