Great Royal London Tour

James_D, Sept 2025

This was a very enjoyable tour of the royal sights around London, and our tour guide Will was very knowledgeable and explained every place we visited, and he gave us pointers about where to get the best views for the changing of the guard. We also learned the difference between the Queen's Clock Tower and Big Ben. We had access to the Buckingham Palace tour, and that was a very impressive sight. A must do for first time visitors to London.

Pluses and Minuses

pppgringa, Sept 2025

This is a mixed review. Our guy, Will, was personable and knowledgeable. He made sure that we had a great viewing position for the changing of the guard. It was a very, very busy day and there were competing groups at every stop. Now for the negative part…he walked very fast. Several people on the tour asked him to slow down, but in the end, I and two or three others in the group were separated from him and did not get to finish the tour. Also… He handed a number of us our vouchers for the Buckingham Palace visit, but neglected to tell us that they had to be turned in at the on siteoffice for an actual ticket which led to confusion when we got to the actual location for our tour.

More information needed after the walking tour to reach our added tour

W1321AFmelissaj, Sept 2025

Walking tour with Will was good but very crowded just very unhappy with the way it finished everyone went to different locations and we had Buckingham palace tour and all he said was head straight down that road he should have given more detailed and say where the gates were and which gate to go to I had to ask so many people along the way and it made it a big day with extra walking not needed So please give more information to each event

Interesting and a lot of walking but worthwhile

The covered some highlights of London but there is so much more to learn! All our group were from North America, not sure if that was planned or not and our guide was an American!
