Great experience in Westminster

5.00I was in town for business with a first-timer to London who requested a look around town and couldn’t have been happier with this walking tour. Richard was extremely knowledgeable and personable and the tour pacing was on-point for a reasonable cost. Having limited time for tourism during our one-week visit, I’m glad this is what we chose to do and I could not recommend this tour and guide highly enough.
Very informative

5.00It was absolutely great. Sally is the best tour guide ever. I learned a lot from her and I definitely recommend her tour
Missed our guide - though we were there 30 minutes early.

1.00It was terrible. I was totally disappointed. We were at our meeting spot 30 minutes ahead of time. Our guide never showed up. They tried to give us a German guide. We speak English, not German. We want a complete refund. You were great in Madrid and Paris and you totally missed it in London. Very disappointed.
Great Tour
