This event was absolutely amazing. The changing of the guard was fascinating to see and the guide ( unfortunately I forgot the name I think it was Alex tho) he was very kind, funny and gave us so much insight. I would really recommend this if you have children that like that type of stuff it I'd really cool. Thank you so much for this nice experience!

On a cloudy, gloomy day, the walking tour was just so enriching and informative. Jeremy, my guide, was experienced and knowledgeable and his dash of Brit... err Scottish humour... made the tour so entertaining. He knew the right spots and right timings which made the tour fruitful and memorable!

Our tour guide, Adrian, was so knowledgeable and shared so much history with us as we toured Westminster Abbey. It made the visit more meaningful than if we had simply toured on our own because Adrian helped us understand the importance and significance of what we saw. I highly recommend this tour!

Natalie was an excellent guide, rushing us from place to place so we got the best views of the whole ceremony. And she imparted lots of knowledge and interesting anecdotes. Highly recommended.
