Aaron was a wonderful guide - I can’t recommend this walking tour highly enough! It was easy to find the meeting point and our guide Aaron, was excellent. He was warm, friendly and had great knowledge of the guards, the royals and the area. Aaron knew where to find the best vantage points and made sure his group was safe at all times. I use a walking stick and could easily manage the walk. Given all that I saw, I think the tour was very good value for money
