The ideal London walking tour

Kathrine_C, Aug 2024
Mark is an excellent tour guide! He knew all the right places to go, all the best places to take pictures, and shared stories and knowledge for the entire tour! Hours of the most fascinating history and interesting facts. He was incredible. We are only here for a few days, and the walking tour truly was “the best of Westminster.” It made spectacular use of the first half of the day. However, I would personally recommend pairing the walking tour with Westminster Abbey. The Gardens were lovely, but a little underwhelming and it felt like we spent the last half of our day traveling out to the gardens and then back, not spending much actual time there.. The pairing with Kew Gardens was strange for how this tour was set up and I would go so far as to say they should reconsider the paring.
