Great Introduction Walk to the City - Brandon was a fantastic tour guide on our city sightseeing tour. He was energetic and engaging through the entire walk. Sharing lots of history, little known facts, and even tips and tidbits on what you can do around the city outside of the tour. He was also able to put us in a perfect spot for some of the Royal Guard activities. Great way to see a lot of the iconic sights and identify the things we wanted to come back to for a more in depth viewing.

Great tour and tour guide! - Our walking tour around London was fantastic! We passed through so many iconic areas including St James's Park, the Palace of Westminster / Parliament area, and Trafalgar Square. Lisa was an excellent tour guide — she made the entire 3-hour tour so fun and engaging with tons of interesting stories and history along the way. You could tell she really enjoys what she does, and that made the experience even better. That said, definitely keep in mind that this is a true walking tour. My feet were hurting during the tour, and I really had to push through by the end. I wore comfortable shoes, but honestly I should have worn supportive walking sneakers instead. To be fair, I had already spent the first half of the day walking around museums and getting there, so my feet were already tired before the tour even started. Also, the weather was HOT — apparently London even broke a May temperature record today! I’m from Miami, and somehow it felt hotter in London than back home… go figure 😂. Thankfully, we did get a few chances to cool off during the tour. If you’re active and enjoy walking, I absolutely recommend this tour. But if you’re visiting London during a heat wave or aren’t used to walking long distances in warm weather, you may want to consider something lighter like a river cruise instead. Overall though, I really enjoyed it and would definitely recommend Lisa as a guide!
