Deb enjoyed - Lots of walking on uneven pavement with cobblestone and talking. Questions are invited and loads of photo opportunities.

Natasha is the Best! - I feel like we really lucked out with this one - the tour was so much more than what I was expecting from the website! Natasha is clearly one of their superstar guides, so I feel so fortunate that we had the chance to tour with her. Because of her esteemed tour guide ("blue badge") status, she was able to get us into Westminster Abbey before the public opening so we had the chance to explore and get pictures when the place was empty! What a great experience. She also was incredibly entertaining and really knew how to craft the experience for maximum pictures and learning!

Great tour guide well informed and hit the highlights. - Yulia is a great tour guide she sets expectations on what we can and cannot do based on the rules of each location. She is well informed. You should pay for their microphone and headsets because that was helpful in having in some of the more tour heavy areas. You also need to revise the description because you can’t walk all around Big Ben because the Thames is on one side so accuracy is important. Our guide was one of the sharpest best informed I’ve met knowing British history inside and out.

Highly recommend this tour! - Ariana led our tour, and she was FABULOUS! We got to see so much and she gave us lots of history and background on everything. She even gave us tips on where to eat after the tour. She was delightful and we very much enjoyed our introduction to this part of London.

The tour of Westminster... - The tour of Westminster Abbey was enriched by a fantastic guide—engaging, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating details that brought the site to life. However, the tour title was misleading. It implied that Big Ben would be included, but we only saw it from a distance without any dedicated commentary or access. A great experience overall, but expectations should be set more clearly.
