It’s very interesting, but a lot of walking. Westminster Abbey wasn’t first stop, so lots of walking before that. We had a great guide who had that dry British humor. Fun group.

Francis was great! Her knowledge of Westminster Abbey was superior. She really cared to try and get us the best views but it was a banking holiday and crowds made it hard.

Our tour guide is very good, we got to learn more about the history of the places, if we do not join this tour, we might just walk by the places without knowing the rich history

We had the German-speaking leadership. A very nice person. Since we (the group) were only 3 people, we were able to communicate our preferences (culture, nature or history). The tour was interesting and informative, there were tips on shopping and other sightseeing highlights. I liked my husband and I.
