Nathan the tour guide was an expert as other tour guides took his lead to know where groups should stand to see the changing of the horse guards and the changing of the guards with the fact it was raining heavy. He was the best tour guide we had! 5 stars Nathan and the recommendation of eating at the Buckingham Arms was spot on. Ty

The guide was excellent. prompt, humorous and educational. He did an exceptionally good job positioning us in a viewing location which allowed perfect views and avoiding a lot of walking.. Overall very well worth the time and money.
