5.00Fantastic tour experience led by an immensely knowledgeable guide who constantly delighted us with well delivered jokes. We would highly recommend this to any family looking to know more about English history and get the most possible out of sightseeing

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Natasha was a fantastic tour guide. There were a mix of families and couples on the tour, and she tried to spend a little individual time with each group. She took photos and videos of each family in front of Buckingham Palace. She also tried to make it more interesting for both the teenagers and the little kids on the tour with some facts she asked them to remember and then a “quiz” at the end. She even had a race in St James’s park with the two young boys on the tour! Overall a great experience for our family.

5.00Will, tour guide, provided so much information during the walk to Buckingham Palace and back. Even though Westminster Abbey was crowded, he was able to find places to stand while he explained the significance of what we were seeing in there.
Great tour!
