What are people saying about London

The Changing of the Guard Tour and Buckingham Palace

Flaca1107, Jul 2026

The best day in London

It was awesome !! Our funny, friendly and polite guide was very knowledgeable, his name is John. We were so lucky that he took us to Saint James palace where King Charles actually resides and he said , let’s stay here , I think the king is in his house because I see helicopters flying over and he usually leaves at around 11:00. Indeed , King Charles pases by in hi purple car and waved to all of us , my grandfather was super excited. He came on time and explained so many interesting facts in a funny way that had everyone engaged.

London: Buckingham Palace & Big Ben (& Westminster Abbey entry)

Sonja_D, Jul 2026

Westminster Abbey.

This was one of the best tours we took during our trip to London. I did the tour with my son, and it was the perfect combination of history, tradition, and iconic London landmarks. Watching the Changing of the Guard outside Buckingham Palace was an unforgettable experience. Our guide knew where to position the group, so we had great views while explaining the history and significance of the ceremony. It made the event so much more meaningful than simply watching it on our own. Westminster Abbey was absolutely breathtaking. Walking through such an important piece of British history and learning about the coronations, royal weddings, and the remarkable people buried there was fascinating. The entire tour was well organized, moved at a comfortable pace, and was a perfect balance of guided information and time to appreciate the incredible surroundings. My son and I both learned so much and Created memories we'll never forget. Ash had a wealth of knowledge and was very passionate about these tours. If you're visiting London, I highly recommend this tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience that exceeded all of our expectations. Five stars!

Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Guided Tour of London

Kevin_A, Jul 2026

Parliament Square to Picadilly Arcade

Learned so much on this walking tour. Luckily we went on a Friday and saw about 6 guard changes/movements from the Wellington Barracks to Marlborough. Didn't know there were so many and without our guide to position us for them all, we would have missed most of them including the horses on the mall. The history of the royal warrant stores and the nearby houses along the walk were fascinating, and that was after starting off from Parliament Square and Westminster Abbey. We probably could have spent twice as long in Westminster Abbey learning about the history and remarkable historical figures inside. Well worth it and our guide Sean was excellent and knowledgeable

Buckingham Palace Entrance Ticket & British Royalty Guided Tour

Karla_G, Jul 2026

Well worth the money explore Buckingham Palace, its gardens and beyond.

We loved Paul, our tour leader. He was accommodating, funny, informative, and very kind to someone in the group who had trouble keeping up. The tour was full of surprise information, and it was the perfect lead up to Buckingham Palace. Touring inside the Palace was a dream, and it was a huge bonus to tour the back gardens.

Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and Oxford Day Trip from London

Allison_K, Jul 2026

Amazing, comfortable trip to best sights outside of London

Really well organized and fun trip to see all the sights outside of London. I only wish we had more time at each sight but we were very limited because we wanted to get to all 3. Bus was very comfortable, brand new, bathroom included and air conditioned with WiFi. My children slept in between sight visits so it was perfect. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept everyone on track with the time. Honestly one of the best day trips we have ever been on.

London in a Day: Tower of London, Westminster & River Cruise

William_B, Jul 2026

An Opportunity to See a Vast Number of Famous Sites in London

Yulia, our tour guide, was wonderful, both pleasant, and very knowledgable of the places we visited and the associated history of the each. She ensured we got to see as many sites as possible despite a multitude of road closures throughout London due to a marathon going on. Bring very comfortable walking shoes as there is a lot of walking, including steps and uneven hard surfaces.

London 30 Top Sights with Fun Local Guide

Breeana_G, Jul 2026

Great day!

We had our tour with Sam on 5/29/26. He was very, very knowledgeable (as long as you were close enough to hear him), walked a great pace, incorporated bathroom and water breaks, didn’t lose a single person in our 20-person group (impressive!!), and was very friendly. He was also perfectly clear about where or what time to find him after we were allowed to venture/take photos. What would’ve made it even better. We wish: - we could’ve heard him more (with mics or headphones) which was just not possible at all times with our big group as-is. - more opportunities for group or party photos. Photos were offered once to take at “anytime” but didn’t offer at each stop and rarely pointed out any photo op spots to take along the way - a better view of the Buckingham guard changing, closer to gates rather than watching them march down the mall - we had more time in Borough Market. Definitely should treat this as a snack or stopwatch situation. Anything bigger than fruits or pastries had long lines and a decent turnaround time, let alone how long it’d take you to eat/enjoy your meal and then venture the market.

Jamie_L, Jul 2026

This is a fantastic tour for seeing all the London highlights in a short amount of time. Our host was very knowledgeable about London history, which made the tour even more enjoyable.

Definitely the tour for your first time to London

It was a very hot day in London, 32 deg Celsius. The guide for our group was Jack. He was knowledgeable and entertaining, never a dull moment on this tour. The tour was very informative and provide the necessary groundwork for further exploration. Jack works well with seniors as he had a couple of ladies dancing and singing.

London: The Beatles, Abbey Road & Rock Legends Tour

Carlene_H, Jun 2026

Legends of Rock and so much more!

Wow!!!!! I would give the Legends of Rock tour 10 stars if I could. This tour was way more than I expected. Ian was the BEST tour guide for this experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging, and connected with each passenger on the tour. Our driver Matty was one in a million and I give him so much credit for driving the streets of London with expertise and patience. While I enjoy music but this tour was not my selection, it was for my mother a Beatles super fan and 60s music lover the Legends of Rock tour ended up being my favorite activity we did in London. Go on this tour, you will love it!

London: The Original Classic Rock & Beatles Tour

JENNIFER_C, Apr 2026

Great Rock Tour!

I previously lived in London, but my husband is a huge classic rock fan had never been before and really wanted to see where it all began. He wanted to cross Abbey Road and see where the Beatles played on the rooftop. He really enjoyed the whole tour and I learned things I hadn't before on my many tours while I had lived in London previously. Clive was a great tour guide and since he is a musician himself, seemed to really relish the feel of the tour and enthusiasm for the ROCK!
