A m a z i n g!!!! i love...

Shanee_S, Nov 2025

A M A Z I N G!!!! I love the small group which allowed great conversation and interaction learning of England history. Definitely recommend and would repeat if I had time.

The team left without us. There was no guide available.for us to follow & the instructions were not

David_A, Oct 2025

There was no guide & we were unable to find the group. The instructions were not clear enough for us to Catch up.

My tour was cancelled. ...

John_W, Oct 2025

My tour was cancelled. The reason given was that there were “operational changes” and could I reschedule for the following day. I was notified of the cancellation just one hour before it was to commence and was well on my way to the starting point. Btw, my tour was Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard and a Thames cruise to the Tower. My issue is, that while there may have been ‘operational changes’, the fact is, that there was no changing of the guard scheduled for the day of our tour. We were booked for a Saturday and the event only happens on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. To me this is deceitful advertising, selling a product that was not going to happen on that day. Poor sales technique from a well known booking agent

Great experience

Brigitte_G, Oct 2025

Marvin my tour guide was so smart and nice , I would definitely recommend him. I loved all the information he shared on the history of Great Britain

Meeting point needs to be clearer.

Kareem_B, Sep 2025

Not very accurate on who or where you’re meeting and I missed my tour. There’s a atleast ten other groups meeting in the same area I would be early if you want to find the right one.

Union “Jack”.

Kathi_S, Apr 2025

Our guide, Jack, was so very well educated! He kept us entertained with witty humor and trivia while teaching us so much. He knew all of the secrets to get us the best views of everything we wanted to see. I highly recommend this tour and hope that all guides are as amazing as Jack is!
