London Cruising! - We picked a day luckily that gave us an opportunity to see the Changing of the Guards at Buckingham Palace. Our guide Christopher showed us the best vantage point and we also had the opportunity to see them return, old guards to the guard house. We then saw many more famous London sites. Christopher shared great historical information of the Monarchy and London. It was fun and easy to walk around. Just wear your best walking shoes and expect crowds.

Waking your A+ / the final on my own part was not so great and confusing - Our group had a fantastic tour guide Ashley. He is incredibly knowledgeable, great, it was a joy to be on the walking tour with him. So many details and interesting facts he shared with us. However, there was some misunderstanding - not clear from the title of the tour. I thought I would be on a guided tour from beginning to the end. So pay attention to the route. I am new to London and had no idea that walking group part of the tour is far from Kensington palace. I had a great time anyways. But that’s the only reason why I give this tour 4 starts - the route is not clear, my final destination was very far from the area we explored together. It was pretty hard for me (was my first day in London) to figure out the route. However walking part was fantastic. And Ashley is THE best tour guide!
