Klaire was an amazing guide, so helpful, funny and friendly. Roberto was an excellent driver too, made the whole journey so comfortable and smooth. Going to the different spots was incredible too, so beautiful and so much to see. Our archaeologist-led tour around Pompeii was incredible too, our guide had so much knowledge of Pompeii and was so passionate about its history, it made the entire experience so surreal. An amazing experience, 100% recommend it was so organised from start to finish. Thank you!

Leider haben wir von der tatsächlichen Wachablöse nichts gesehen. Wir haben ewig auf den Abmarsch der Wache in Richtung Buckingham Palace gewartet, dann ist die Truppe kurz an uns vorbeimarschschiert. (Schlechte Sicht aus der hintersten Reihe). Am Palast selbst konnten wir praktisch nichts von der Wachablöse sehen. Gut war der vorgezogene Eintritt in den Palast ohne Wartezeit.
