Excellent Tour with a Funny, Knowledgeable Guide - Our guide was absolutely fantastic! He was incredibly knowledgeable about British Royal history and did and excellent job navigating us through very crowded areas while always positioning us in the best spots to see everything. We not only got to see the Changing of the Guard, but also the Changing of the Horse Guards at Whitehall which I didn't even know was a thing - such a cool bonus! Our tour guide happened to be American which we weren't expecting, however his funny and very friendly personality that really added to the tour. Highly recommend this tour!

Interesting facts - Tanya was a fabulous tour guide. Friendly, funny, informative. The group was about 20 people, she spoke clearly and confidently and loud enough for all to hear in our group. (Not too loud though). Her facts were interesting and the tour was perfect for getting a crash course on royals.

It was great, with a broad overview of England history, of both the personal and governmental life of the Royals. - The tour was great! Dan did an excellent job sharing extensive history of the Royals, their homes, and some of the more interesting sidelights (murders, affairs, etc!) of England's history. He was able to communicate clearly (both my wife and I have hearing aids and we often ask for repeated comments), including with the couple from France whose English was good, but not great. Dan handled questions well, and accommodated us with a break at the mid-point. Though we had some iffy weather, we managed to avoid putting up our umbrellas very much at all. A highlight was finishing just at the point of hearing Big Ben and the Westminster chimes.
