English life and history - Our guide made history live. The facts, poetry, anecdotes, brought life and context to what we were seeing. Our guide brought the what, who and why with humour, while bringing us along smartly

A Day in London Tour was excellent! - The tour incuded Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St.James Park, Parliament Square, Thames River ride, and the Tower of London. Our guide was knowledgeable, precise, humorous, and attentive. It was a comprehensive view of many iconic London area sites...along with a history lesson as we walked.

Fun and interesting! - Jen was amazing! So fun and insightful! You could tell she had a love of history and was full of stories about the tower. She took care of the group and made sure everyone knew what was going to happen at all times.

London Westminster Abbey, Changing of the Guard and Tower of London Tour - Both tour guides were awesome. So impressive how they immerse them and their clients in history, architecture and many other things ga to make your experience complete. I did not get the fist guides name, maybe Alliah and Traci for second part were wonderful. A bit disappointing that it was not noted at booking changing of the guard does not happen on Tuesday or Thursdays. We did, however got to see the horse guard change. A ding with Viator as it was not clear these were distinct tours with The Tour Guy and the second meeting/check in place was not clear.

Wonderful day tour - Andrew was very helpful and informative throughout our tour. He was very knowledgeable about everything we saw and if he was asked a question he didn't know, he looked it up rather than making something up. He was also very communicative and clear in his instructions in case there were stragglers in the really busy areas so we would know exactly where to rejoin the group. He was wonderful.

Great way to see a lot in London in one day - The London in a day tour of Westminster Abbey, Changing of the guards, and Tower of London with a ride on the Thames was an awesome way to see it all! Our tour guide, Andrew, was so amazing, he did such a nice job of keeping everyone together, it was a sunny hot day and he always made sure we found shade to stand in. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the city of London and very well spoken and clear communication along the way. He was so calm and added some humor as well! It is a very long tour, a lot of standing and walking but all in all it was a great way to see some main spots in London.

My kids and I had a great... - My kids and I had a great day. Andrew was our wonderful tour guide. He was friendly, patient, and informative. There was a lot of walking but totally worthwhile. Also, it was very convenient to have skip the line tickets to all our stops that we toured inside. Thank you again for our fun day of getting to know London.

A Royal Learning Experience - Anna Maria (the tour guide) was very knowledgeable. We didn’t ask a question she couldn’t answer. However, she was soft spoken and with all of the surrounding ambient noise, it was often very difficult to hear her.
