  • The tour guide was great,...

    The tour guide was great, very knowledgeable and funny. The tour was interesting, there is a lot of walking, but the pace is mangeable even if you are not in great shape. The only thing that I was disappointed about is how little time we had for the visit of the abbey. We went around and got loads of information, but we did not have time to really look. For the Tower of London it was not a problem, since the tour ended there, we could always keep visiting after. The guide even gave us all the information we needed for the spots we had not been to. He was also nice enough to give indications to participants on how to get back to their hotels.

    Ask for the brilliant tourguide Warren Forsythe. Clever and articulate with a lovely sense of humor, he navigated our 20-person tour deftly through the London crowds. He is a tall gentleman which made him easy to find. This seems to have resulted in less stray participants in crowded areas. Well done, Mr. Forsythe! Best tour I've ever been on.
