The tour of the various places around Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guard. Too bad the guide didn't speak French. For such a touristy city, it would be nice if the guides were multilingual. So we didn't understand the various explanations. We followed the group.

The tour was exceptional, and our tour guide David was "top shelf whiskey" in my book. His energy, knowledge, and care for our group on such a crowded day, combined with his humor and professionalism, exceeded our expectations! If you get David, ask him about his one experience meeting the Queen....EPIC!
