Colin Hubbard was an awesome guide! He took us to a bunch of impressive sites for which he gave us the history as well as interesting backstories regarding them. He was very personable and answered all our questions.

Our guide Jamie was great. It was another cloudy day in London and it was cold too, but Jamie's comments kept our small group very engaged during the walk
