Tim and I cannot remember the other gentlemen’s name were great. Very knowledgeable of the history and times of things happening. The new guy that seemed to be training was also asking a lot of question and answering them too. He seems like he will do awesome as a tour guide. Tim was very funny and polite. We would definitely do this again and recommend them. Thank you for a great history lesson and the sights.

The tour was great, except the ad says it includes “changing of the guards” ceremony at Buckingham Palace. However, that is only true if your tour is mon/wed/fri. We went on a Thursday and were very disappointed that we did not see the changing of the guards. I feel this info should be presented in the description Michellle Short St Pete Beach, Fl
