Great walking tour for history and seeing London sites - Walking Tour hit the highlights of London and our guide (forgot name, previously an actor) was very informative on history, people and sites. He made sure we saw everything important, providing basic history, then giving some additional stories. He covered the territory in a good pace for all ages. He knew when to arrive in areas for certain events. He was humorous and entertaining too!

You will love this tour! - This is a fun tour! Ash was an exceptional tour guide! His knowledge, humor and presentation made it an enjoyable tour! I would recommend this to anyone coming to London and wanting to leave with a better understanding of history and the Royal family. Honestly, this was my second tour, (brought friends with me this time)! I was delighted to see Ash as our tour guide again! Enjoyed it even more the second time! 😁

Please hire more guides like Will!! (Or just clone him) - Finally a guide who is not only well spoken, but extremely helpful and well informed!! In the last three European countries we visited, this was not the case! Would love to see guides like Will everywhere we go. It completely transforms your experience.

Loved it! - Great way to see the area! Westminster Abbey was closed on the day our tour was scheduled, so we opted for the walking portion only and we were thrilled with our tour! Ashely was full of knowledge, answered all of our questions and really kept the group engaged. It was a beautiful walk, and saw a changing of the guard! Would highly recommend!
