  • Buckingham Palace - Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guard. As iconic an image of London as red telephone boxes and double-decker buses, the Changing of the Guard is a not-to-be-missed royal feast of bearskin hats and red tunics. *We will visit Horseguards Parade when the ceremony is not available.

Best way to see London - Wow - what an amazing time! Marc was a fantastic guide, with so much great information to share. The pickup location was easy to find, and we had plenty of time at each of the stops. Hot spots on this tour are Buckingham Palace (outside), St Paul’s Cathedral admission, London Eye ride, pics of Big Ben and the London Bridge, ferry ride on the Thames and a fantastic tour of the Tower of London. We had an amazing time and saw all of the best tourist attractions.

Wonderful! - We loved it! I was a little concerned that it would be a world-wind look and we would have to "keep it moving" the whole time, but that could not have been further from the experience. A great pace to see and enjoy the sights, as well as learning interesting facts along the way. Morton did a great job as our guide and was so easy to ask questions of, and had such a cheerful attitude the whole day. Definitely worth it!

Great Way to See the Highlights of London - This was a great tour for hitting the highlights of London - especially if you don’t have much time in town. We even got to see the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace.

Amazing tour, guide could have been better. - Tour was good and very interesting. Our guide, while knowledgeable didn't come across as such by using terminology like 'see he's holding a harry potter wand' when talking about ancient statues etc - it sort of took away from the beauty and age of what we were seeing. Also catching a public ferry while waiting in the rain was not ideal, we were all spread throughout the boat and there was confusion when we were to get off etc.
