Great experience - Sam was a great tour guide! He had lots of knowledge about the sites we visited and was able to get us to see the guards 3x. He kept the pace of the group and gave us breaks for water and bathroom. Not strenuous for our group of mid 30 year olds.

Split into smaller groups is great! - Our guide Sam was knowledgeable and engaging. We appreciated his ability to get us to spots to see the changing of the guard 3x! We liked that the company split us into smaller groups so it wasn’t as overwhelming.

Excellent Tour with a Funny, Knowledgeable Guide - Our guide was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about British Royal history and did and excellent job navigating us through very crowded areas while always positioning us in the best spots to see everything. We not only got to see the Changing of the Guard, but also the Changing of the Horse Guards at Whitehall which I didn't even know was a thing - such a cool bonus! Our tour guide happened to be American which we weren't expecting, however his funny and very friendly personality that really added to the tour. Highly recommend this tour!

Interesting facts - Tanya was a fabulous tour guide. Friendly, funny, informative. The group was about 20 people, she spoke clearly and confidently and loud enough for all to hear in our group. (Not too loud though). Her facts were interesting and the tour was perfect for getting a crash course on royals.
