Ari was an excellent tour guide

My companion and I did the walking tour this morning of Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey. Ari was our tour guide and made the tour very enjoyable. Her impressive knowledge of British history, bubbly personality and fun sense of humor made the tour much more memorable.

Jim the 7th walking tour

We did the walking tour with Jim the 7th and he was informative fun and had great voice projection within the crowded confines of inner London. How he keeps all the dates of Kings and queens and when they lost their heads is beyond me. Highly recommend the hop on hop off bus Thames boat tour and Buckingham Palace walk tour and Jack the Ripper evening tour.
