Andrew D. was our guide. He was knowledgeable and funny. He worked around all the closures of roads due to the marathon to ensure we got a great tour. We truly enjoyed the day!

Our guide was excellent. Unfortunately, because of the marathon, there was no changing of the guard. Also, could not get to Buckingham. Lots.if extra walking for nothing. But the guide was excellent in the Abbey.

Changing of the guards is subject to be cancelled based on what may be going on in the area, but still a very worth while visit.

Wear good walking shoes. You cover a large area. Changing of the Guards and Westminster Abbey was more than I had expected.

We were able to see so much more than we thought we were getting during our original booking. Our guide was able to walk us past the horse guards, and outside the palace while King Charles was in residence. Our guide Ariana was very knowledgeable and very accommodating, as she often tried to get our tour group to the front of the lines for specific viewings of different things occurring around town. Her knowledge of Britain’s History was very impressive and she had great interaction with the group. Walking inside of Westminster was absolutely beautiful and I’m so glad I was able to attend this tour. I recommend to everyone. 10/10 experience!

Unfortunately, our tour was canceled by the value company because they had overbooked this group. These are only shot at St. Louis so I don’t have anything to report on.
