Great tour
Great tour with some stops on the way to Buckingham palace. The changing of the guard was fun to watch and the changing of the horse guards. Peter our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend this tour.
Our walking Tour in London
It was brilliant . John was excellent and made the tour really interesting and fun . I would say the ticket said meet at green park bus stop at H . This is very confusing as no one waited there and everyone met by the fountain and coffee shop . Also my name wasn’t on Johns list but he could see I had booked and had confirmation . Great tour guide and so interesting xx
