We had an amazing experience on this tour of Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben! Our guide, Ash, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of these iconic landmarks. He shared fascinating insights that made the experience even more engaging. One of the highlights was how Ash went the extra mile to ensure we had a great spot to see the King pass by—something we wouldn’t have been able to do on our own! His expertise and enthusiasm truly made this tour special. If you’re visiting London and want an unforgettable experience, I highly recommend this tour!
