The tour was really knowledgeable and nice. We loved how she knew exactly where to put us so we could well see the change of the guard. Recommend.

Lucy was very knowledge with a good twist of humor to make the tour engaging for everyone. She was also very helpful for a family in our group with a stroller.

This is a great tour. Our fabulous guide, Natalia, is so knowledgable, we learnt so much from her. We loved all our time spent in Westminster Abbey, then the walk through St James park to Buckingham Palace and then through the little streets to Picadilly Circus. Natalia kept us entertained for the whole tour with so much information to pass on in a very friendly and personal manner.
