Very interesting...
Very interesting tour. The historical background was explained by our guide Marvin. A very relaxed and entertaining guided tour.

A M A Z I N G!!!! I love the small group which allowed great conversation and interaction learning of England history. Definitely recommend and would repeat if I had time.
The team left without us. There was no guide available.for us to follow & the instructions were not
There was no guide & we were unable to find the group. The instructions were not clear enough for us to Catch up.
My tour was cancelled. ...
My tour was cancelled. The reason given was that there were “operational changes” and could I reschedule for the following day. I was notified of the cancellation just one hour before it was to commence and was well on my way to the starting point. Btw, my tour was Buckingham Palace, Changing of the Guard and a Thames cruise to the Tower. My issue is, that while there may have been ‘operational changes’, the fact is, that there was no changing of the guard scheduled for the day of our tour. We were booked for a Saturday and the event only happens on Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. To me this is deceitful advertising, selling a product that was not going to happen on that day. Poor sales technique from a well known booking agent
Great experience
Marvin my tour guide was so smart and nice , I would definitely recommend him. I loved all the information he shared on the history of Great Britain
