Boots are made for walking - Our tour guide Adrian did a fantastic job. He timed everything perfectly, got us in great positioning to see TWO guard changes. On top of that he was knowledgeable on the history of London, and pointed out many things along the way. He also was more than happy to act as a camera man to ensure everyone got some memories along the way.

Great tour of key landmarks & seeing the Change of Guards was excellent! - Adrian is engaging and warm. He brought us through routes that gave us great views of the Guards ceremonies and also for photos despite the crowds. Everything was timed perfectly and we were lucky we even got to see 2 ceremonies! He shared interesting history and facts about british history and sites that added to the experience. He was also always offering to take photos for us and our family. Overall it was a really enjoyable morning spent learning and exploring key London landmarks on foot.

Amazing guide! - This tour was such a treat! It was us and one other couple. Adrian’s tour was more than we dreamed showing us the paths less travelled and told us the history and showed us pictures on his tablet. He was very nice and also funny, I would recommend him to all my friends if they ever travelled to London. He also took pictures for us, I can’t recommend him enough, we had so much fun with him!
