Fantastic tour and an exceptional tour guide! This was honestly the best tour I have been on and should definitely be on everyone's London sightseeing list. Three hours flew by. Ben was funny and extremely knowledgeable. He knew the answer to every question anyone in the group had! Not only did he make sure we were the first tour into Westmister Abbey so we could get pictures before it was crowded, he also got us to the most perfect spots to watch the changing of the guard. 10/10 highly recommend booking with this tour company and taking a tour with Ben N.

Very much enjoyed the tour of Westminster Abby and changing of the guard. Linda, our guide, was excellent! She provided detail we would not have gotten on our own. Highly recommend this tour!
