Charming tour guide - Wow! I don’t know where to start. I did the 3pm tour. Charlotte was our guide and she knows her stuff! Not only did she give us history about each landmark. She was audible, patience and carried everybody along. Throwing in a little bit of fun fact in and there to lighten the mood. She is amazing and I highly, highly recommend the tour especially with Charlotte! I’ll definitely book another tour when next I visit London. I feel like I know quite a bit of London and the Brits in general. Thank you so much, Charlotte!

A Day to Remember.,, - The day started with a genuinely interesting Tour of The House of Commons and The House of Lords, with lots of historical information and some fascinating fun facts! Did you know a tennis ball was found on a high windowsill that was sent flying by Henry the Eighth? Why Barristers are called to The Bar? Why the colour of the carpets are so important? Dam, our young Tour Guide was excellent…. We then obtained tickets to sit in the Public Gallery whilst the Prime Minister answered questions and the Chancellor gave his Budget Speech…. We ended our day with a cuppa in the HOC’s Cafe

Tour of the Palace of Westminster - We had a fully guided tour by Philip Mansfield, he was wonderful. The tour was both incredibly informative and brought to life by this very engaging and entertaining gentleman. Brilliant afternoon, many thanks to Philip Mansfield!

Fun Walking Around - Sandra was an excellent tour guide. It was a comprehensive five hour tour. Sandra made it interesting. She knew the history and background of the major sites. She offered to, and took pictures of us. It was a great tour. I would recommend it to anyone.

Fun Walking Around - Sands was a most enthusiast and knowledgeable guide. The tour was a very aggressive walking tour and she made it palatable and interesting. We were all given time to absorb sites of interest as well as take photos. Sandra graciously offered to, and took photos of us. The site were quite fascinating and added to our list of things to go back and see when we are in London again. I would definite recommend this tour.

A great walk in the city - We had been in London for over three days when we took this tour and had walked miles each day here. We thought we had a good sense of the area, but going on the tour really expanded our knowledge. Tonya did a great job of giving information about what we were seeing, the history and significance. She walked a good pace, keeping all the group in mind. There were appropriate breaks along the way to help make the tour manageable. Tonya kept the group interested and it seemed like the time went very quickly. We ended with a tour of Parliament. We were amazed that we could stand right in the Peers and Lords seat. Very memorable. We highly recommend the tour and especially, Tonya.

Really fun walking tour! - This was a really fun walking tour. It covered the highlights of the area. The only thing I would say is do this tour first. Lol. We did this as our last tour of a two week vacation, and by that time we had seen all of the stops we went to. It was still awesome! Connor was an amazing tour guide. We even discovered that we both worked at Disney World the same time. Lol.

London - Too much standing in one spot for too long. Could have moved ahead a bit faster. Tour guide Jason was knowledgeable.
