5.00Excellent walking tour I have weak legs but no hills and guide Benedict was sooo good that he was worth the 4 hours we spent with him I pushed myself because I enjoyed him so much and he had endless anecdotes about every corner building we stopped at You could clearly hear his great voice We also did not walk at a fast clip and he made sure all 17 of us could keep up and hear him Excellent We also bought Westminster abbey tickets from same company and walked right into it with no wait

5.00We had an amazing time on the Buckingham Palace and Big Ben Walking Tour! Ash was by far the best guide we’ve ever had—informative, animated, and so entertaining. He brought the history to life and kept us engaged the entire time. I would highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Ash as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Absolutely amazing!
