Our tour was booked unknowingly on a day when the monarch was visiting parliament. We couldn't get over to Big Ben or buckingham. Our tour guide Lucy made the absolute best of it, however, and gave us a wonderful tour of the Abbey and then found a way to get us through road closures and over to St. James's park where we lined the roadway (front and centre) to see the King! What an experience. She could have decided to tour the Abbey and then let us go, but she was determined to make this shortfall a win for us. We loved her commentary and knowledge of the area, she was 7/5 stars!!

The checkout of experience was easy and having the app was an added bonus to be able to get a reminders and pecific details of the pick up locations. Also, the experience that I and my family had on the Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Oxford tour with Simon our guide and Patrick the driver was fabulous. Simon’s historical insights are great for trivia questions, and we learned some interesting facts on the origins of certain names and idioms. He also entertained us with his witty remarks. Patrick was a responsible and courteous driver. Thank you!
