Really factual and informative. It is a bit long if you are not a complete history nerd

I would like to express clearly that this survey needs to be split in 2 parts: the one concerning the Walks tour, and the one concerning the Houses of Parliament tour. While the Walks tour guide Julia was excellent, the Houses Parliament tour guide (Stephen, maybe? I cannot recall) was speaking at an ultrasonic speed that was only understandable to native English speakers. After the tour, I told him that he needs to consider that he might have non native speakers in the tours he does, and he apologised. I think that Americans that joined the tour with me were satisfied with the tour, but the ones who, like us, were not native English speakers, had our brain about to explode by the end of the tour. A pity, because it was indeed very interesting.

Its a great tour. It was expensive, however, worth paying the price
