Such a fun tour! - Ask for Owen as your guide - This tour was such a fantastic way to see London and Owen made it even better. He was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely fun to spend a few hours with while walking through the city. The tour covers so many of London’s famous sights and Owen kept the whole experience engaging with interesting stories, historical context, and great energy the entire time. What I loved most was how he added in little details about English customs and everyday life in London. Those local perspectives made the tour feel much more personal and helped me understand the city beyond just the landmarks. It felt like getting insider knowledge from someone who really loves sharing their city. Owen also gave amazing recommendations for places to eat and areas to explore after the tour which was incredibly helpful for the rest of our trip. This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to see a lot of London while also learning about the culture and history in a really enjoyable way. I would absolutely recommend it!

Jack was wonderful and we... - Jack was wonderful and we enjoyed our morning with him! He did a great job keeping it interesting for the kids while covering a lot of ground. We felt like we got to see a huge bulk of the top sites in London (as well as the changing of the guard) while also allowing time for snack and restroom stops. Would definitely do again!

Excellent Viewing of the Changing of the Guards with All of the Pagentry and Photo Ops - Will, our Guide, was excellent—-very knowledgeable about the history and fun details about the Royals and about the best locations to view the Changing of the Guard at several parts of the process. I had not realized how much pageantry is involved and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience.
