Parliament, Royalty and more - This was a wonderful tour. Chris, our guide, gave us a quick political and social history of England as he connected it to the different sites we passed. He was full of interesting historical and social tidbits, both past and present, that personalized the events and individuals involved. He was very knowledgeable and seemed able to gear toward the groups interest.

Viator Guide Treats Us “Like Royalty!” - This was a lovely tour, enjoyed by everyone in our group (7 adults, ages 21 - 59). In addition to the tour being enjoyable, i had misinterpreted the tours “start directions,” putting me and my family in the wrong location. Slawek - the tour guide reached out to me to confirm our attendance. And even though it was MY ERROR, he personally brought over our tickets, enabling us to tour without consequence. He was so understanding and accommodating!

We had a private tour the three of us, since the other people didn’t show up - We hoped to get inside somewhere , that was only possible in the palace … Chris was an excellent guide !
