Our tour guide, Jeremy, was excellent! He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought to life the history of London, Westminster, and the culture of the city. He knew exactly how to navigate the crowds at Buckingham and got us an excellent view of the changing of the guards. Highly recommend!

Stephen guided us on this walking tour of Westminster Abbey and the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace that proved to be amazing! He was so informative and friendly, you felt well looked after the entire tour. The Abbey is absolutely incredible, and Stephen ensured we were timely and had a perfect spot for viewing the changing of the guard. Our group of 4 highly recommend this tour & guide, so glad we did not just walk it on our own.

We absolutely loved our Tour Guy experience! Excellently done! Steve was our guide. He did a wonderful job! I like that they provide hearing devices that you can put on your ear so you don’t miss a word! It’s nice to not have to wait in long lines to get in. With The Tour Guy you get to enter through a separate entrance. Loved it!

This tour is steeped in history. A good guide can make all the history come alive. The guide was fun, cheerful and very helpful. The tour itself was mind-boggling in its splendor and ambience Could not see the Changing of the Guards though as it was not happening on a Saturday

Our Westminster Abbey & Changing of the Guards Tour was exceptional, thanks to our incredible guide, Jane. Her depth of knowledge about British history, royal traditions, and the significance of each site made the tour engaging and memorable. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a meaningful introduction to a couple of London’s most iconic traditions.

Not the personalized, small group we were led to believe. Ended up with a huge group traveling together that had to stop and wait for each other and get photos taken by each other all the way through.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything we saw. Couldn't have asked for more. She knew exactly what times & where we needed to be to see the changing of the guards, 3x's we saw them. Westminster Abbey was spectacular. She made it so interesting based on her knowledge
