Changing of the Guard Walking Tour - We went on the Changing of the Guard Walking Tour this morning with Angie. DEFINITELY would do this tour again and/or recommend to others. Angie was a fabulous guide who knew EXACTLY WHERE to go and stand for the very best views of the Guards. When we had "brief moments" of down time....Angie filled the time with fabulous facts and stories about London, history of the Changing of the Guards, and even some fun stories, as well. Very interesting. Can't Thank Angie enough for making our tour superior to anything we've experienced yet. Well done, Angie!

Best way to watch changing of the guard! - Would highly recommend to anyone. Lee was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and personable. He got us to where we needed to be when we needed to be there. Would only have seen a fraction of the changing of the guard without him.

Walking tour with Angie. What a wonderful tour. We were quite lucky to have Angie as our guide. This will be a highlight - We had a lovely time on our walking tour with Angie. She was a great guide and was extremely knowledgeable and a fun guide. The tour was well organized and took us to interesting places we would not have seen otherwise. I would definitely recommend a tour with Angie.

Disappointed - Angie, our tour guide, was great — knowledgeable and engaging throughout. However, the tour itself felt lacking. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see the actual Changing of the Guard ceremony — only the guards arriving and a few leaving. It felt like we could have done better on our own without a guide. Angie clearly knows her stuff and kept us entertained, but she should consider that, for many of us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We want to see the main part of the ceremony — not just catch glimpses of it from a hundred yards away.
