5.00Richard is Awesome!!!! He's excellent at his work. Not only will he take you to the best photograph spots but also give you detailed history which other guides either skip or dont know of. He ensures you know the context and reasoning behind every activity happening on that tour. You WILL LEARN A LOT!!! He has such a gentle demeanour and he's so kind. I stopped him at every step to take pictures. He was patient and accommodating. Such a wonderful person. Kind, patient and loves his job!! I felt safe and well taken care of in his tour. Highly highly recommend.

5.00Let Richard be your Guide! This was an insightful and delightful tour of parts of London I normally would not have seen. The Changing of the Guard was prime viewing, and the narration and stories Richard shares are so interesting. He is a walking Encylopedia of British History, without being stuffy. This is like taking a tour with a friend, but coming away enriched with new knowledge from Richard in the most charming city in the world. Great way to see London. I would take all of his tours if I had the time.
