Becki was a fabulous tour guide! The 9am start was the perfect way to stay ahead of the crowds (beautiful sunny day). She provided helpful info with our time at the Tower of London & Crown Jewels, followed by a wonderful boat ride on the River Thames, and then the grand finale with the historic walking tour. Appreciate her passion, knowledge & humor on the walking tour by Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, the Clarence House and the Friary Court: Highly recommend!

Becky was an amazing tour guide, very knowledgeable with history and facts but also fun and welcoming. We learned so much from her. Highly recommend the tour itinerary; get to see a lot of London in a half day tour.

This was a fantastic tour! We only had one day in London. We saw so many things on this tour. Never would have got to all of these on our own. Our guide George was THE BEST!
