If Nathaniel is your guide you are getting the best! Tour is flat but you are on your feet virtually entire time either walking or watching. We started a few minutes early as everyone was there. Nathaniel did a great job keeping track of everyone throughout the trip. Once organized we walked through The Green Park stopping several times (in the shade) to be given knowledge about several houses along the way. This included historical , architectural, and cultural facts provided by Nathaniel who had knowledge without end. We continued to Buckingham Palace where we were placed in a great spot to see the palace and the changing of the guard. Again, much interesting info was provided. Then……. Nathaniel had told us of his hope that we might see King Charles drive by; he recognized the changing of the flags at the palace and the increased security activity and sure enough the King emerged in a car and drove right by and waved! As an added bonus Camilla came out 5-10 minutes later and we were in the perfect spot for pics or videos. Nathaniel eagerly shared what he had gotten with the rest of us. We then headed toward Trafalgar Square stopping along the way at St James Castle in London across from the parade ground where again Nathaniel filled us in on appropriate historical info about Henry and his six wives among other things. In Trafalgar Square we were provided interesting facts about the monuments at hand and the historical events that prompted them. Also an interesting origin story for tge phrase ‘turning a blind eye’. Finally we reached Westminster Abbey where we said our goodbyes to Nathaniel. Our tour actually ran about 45 minutes over its allotted time but no one seemed to mind at all. The tour of the Abbey is self guided and worth it. Cant thank Nathaniel enough nor recommend him highly enough. If you are in London for a day, this tour and guide are well worth it. Btw- Nathaniel is an aspiring actor so keep an eye out for him in the West End some day soon!

You travel a lot to see Warwick Castle, Oxford, and Stratford Upon Avon in one day. My advice to tourists would be to concentrate on a Blenheim Palace and Warwick Castle trip. But-if you are okay with an hour in Oxford and an hour in Stratford, this is the trip for you. You get a taste of three places in one day.

Our guide Chris was spectacular. Funny and a master of political history. The pace was perfect, plenty of breaks and just a fun experience. Easy direction for meet up and possible to see a lot of sites in 4 hours. Worth the money. The explanations of all sites was thorough and he even showed the best places for pictures. You get a snack break. Churchill War museum is definitely a moving experience for WWII fans. Changing of the guard was perfectly timed. We highly recommend this tour. And of course Viator is the best.
