Andy was a great guide.. very attentive and catered for our interests. So lucky to see the changing of the guards and the service bands.. and the stroll through the park was brilliant.. Andy provided great explanations, particularly of the political and wartime history.. well recommended..

We literally got off the plane, dropped our luggage at the hotel and met Alexandra for a city walking tour. Despite being a little tired and jet lagged we had a great afternoon getting acquainted with the city in our first afternoon. She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask questions- such a delight.

Got to see many different things, without staying too long in any one place. The dialogue was wonderful with Becky, who was both fun and informative!
