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.Caroline

The tour guide was perfect she really knew a lot and it was wonderful for changing the guard. The Tower of London was great because you got to go in and just go at your own pace. I was there for hours. Great price for the combo tickets and a wonderful afternoon
