Great way to see a lot of highlights - This was a good way to see a lot of sights in a short amount of time. Our guide, Tim B, had us in a perfect spot to see the guards, bands and horses marching towards Buckingham Palace. We learned a lot of new info along the way!

Didn't Even Mind the Rain! - Benedict, our guide, was a delight. He was knowledgable, funny, and came prepared to answer questions. 3 hours seemed like a long time, but it actually went by quite quickly. We even saw the King pass by!
