Sue was our guide and she was lovely. I asked her everything from the black cabs of London to the history of Normans and Saxons, and she responded gracefully and knowledgeably. We were lucky with the beautiful weather in February and we got the chance to see the king going to Buckingham Palace. Her instincts are top notch. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to know London whether it's your first time traveling or not.

I initially booked the tour because I knew that Walks has good knowledgeable guides. My hunch was definitely correct because Sue, our tour guide, was fantastic. My husband and I got lucky because we booked a group your, however we were the only ones on the tour and we ended up having a private tour. We even saw a glimpse of King Charles driving out with his entourage. What luck! And it was even sunny and not raining :) Thank you again Sue for your time and wonderful cultural information!

Danny was a great guide. Our weather was terrible, but he was a trooper! He was so full of knowledge to share, and we enjoyed the tour a lot. He gave us lots of recommendations based on our interests when we were done as well.

Great tour at Tower of London!! Our tour guide Jane was lovely, extremely knowledgeable, and struck the perfect pace and balance on this tour. We both so enjoyed the vast amount of information about this incredible fortress, the viewing of the tower bridge and of course the crown jewels was amazing!! Loved meeting the ravens as well!!!
