Babbs was our tour guide and she was outstanding!! Don't take this tour with anyone else. She was a wealth of knowledge about every aspect of the tour. She went out of her way to learn everyone's name and really get to know them. She was able to keep us on schedule but deliver a lot of information about each area. She fought hard to make sure we were front and center to see everything and get the pics! The tour was outstanding, thanks Babbs! April from Tennessee

The tour guide was well knowledgeable and in the times when nothing was happening at the changing of the guard, he kept us informed. I totally appreciated the story of the man that broke in and was with the queen, and the fact that she understood him and greeted him well.... amazing story, I'm sure it was an event.

It was a really nice experience, it is a captivating ceremonial display of British tradition. With its precision, colorful uniforms, and rhythmic music, it draws large crowds, offering a unique glimpse into royal pageantry.

Our guide knew where and when to stand for seeing the guards. We enjoyed the stories - both historical and light hearted. I would have liked to have heard more of the guards playing but then we would have missed out hearing more from the guide.

The afternoon tea cruise was a wonderful way to see gorgeous views of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Eye, Tower Bridge, and the Shard. The tea and scones and other treats were all tasty and beautifully presented, making the cruise a lovely experience. We enjoyed going up top and seeing everything from that vantage point. Dillon,on the intercom, was hilarious while very informative ,and all of the wait staff were friendly and helpful. This was the best tour of all we took in the London area.

The food was absolutely amazing, I'm a very fussy eater but me and my husband ate the lot! We liked that the tour guide wasn't too serious and had a laugh. I feel that there should be the option to book to sit window side rather than just luck.

It was informative however because the your guide keeps on walking instead of staying in one place during the change of guards and thought that we can catch it up in the last stop in the barracks but it was cancelled because it rained. A bit disappointed because we didn't witness it but if she stop by the horse guard maybe we can witness some of it.

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.

Booking was very simple and I was given a discount which was great. The whole afternoon tea experience was fabulous, the cruise, the tea itself and especially the lovely staff! Thank you, would go again some time for sure?

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

Paul, our tour guide, made sure we had the best views and his many anecdotes made the tour more enjoyable. Thank you Paul, from the Canadian Canadian contingent on Friday March 7/25.

The changing of the guard guide was good, although he left us and we had to look for him. They sell the tour as one but they are two different providers, there is no one to tell you where to find the next provider. The boat was good but they didn't explain anything in Spanish.
