Beautiful tour with friendly guide - We booked the London with a Londoner tour at freetours and experienced a very nice, informative two-hour walk with our likable and humorous guide Rich. The group was pleasantly small and Rich responded to all participants. He took us on a walk from Green Park through Buckingham Palace, St James Park, Mall, Horse Guards, Downing Street to Westminster and Houses of Parliament and introduced us to the history of the places in a vivid way.
