Great walking tour in London! - Actually the tour was in Jan of 2023, but still we want to write the evaluation now, as it was so good, the tour guide was vert helpful, funny, and wonderful! We started at Green Park, then to the Queen Victoria Memorial, Buckingham Palace, Saint James Park, City of Wesminster, Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square, and lastly is the Westminster Abbey, since inside the tour we received 2 tickets for this, and we visited the Westminster Abbey by ourselves! It was a long day walking that day, but we could tour around many nice main area in London, and could also see the Big Ben Tower… with the final was Westminster Abbey, so this is the tour we really recommend to other people! Thank you for the nice tour…

Wonderful Walking with Will - My husband and I had a great time! We learned so much about British history and then some. It was pleasure to have Will guide us through the different landmarks and sights. He was very knowledgeable, told lots of funny jokes and answered our questions. It was fairly easy to find and we feel like this was money well spent. There was no wait time. Buckingham Place was my favorite part and my husband loved seeing Big Ben strike at 1pm. We would highly recommend this walking tour (with Will if possible) if you want to learn more about British history and culture. I would say plan to bring a snack if you don't like café food that is in the park. Otherwise we have no complaints. Lots of fun!

Westminster area walking tour (think stroll not fast walking pace), - Three hour walking tour around the Westminster area. Buckingham Palace/Westminster Abbey etc. Guide was informative, funny and the pace was leisurely stroll with multiple stopping points along the way. Trip ends at the Abbey.

Terrific experience that highlights the history of London - Terrific experience from the start. Everything was organized perfectly. We had Brandon who was an amazing wealth of knowledge. What was great about him is that he’s actually an American that moved here to the UK. So he was great in connecting our two histories together. We went to Buckingham Palace and saw the changing of the guards, St James Palace, Westminster and various other places that we would have normally just passed by without knowing their significance. All around great experience and I highly recommend this tour company. 10/10 for Brandon!

Wonderful tour! Highly Recommend it! - The highlights of the tour was getting to view historical buildings and monuments with a knowledgeable guide to explain the cultural significance. It aided in learning more of the history with each site we stopped to chat about. Christopher really made the tour funny, engaging, and his timing was impeccable. The Abbey ticket helped us to get ahead in the line and it was a winderful multi-media tour provided.
