Christopher was excellent! Despite cold, rainy weather and a large demonstration at 10 Downing that rerouted part of our tour, he was amazing. Very friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and, of course, handsome (per his hat and self-proclamation)! We would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Excellent tour! Asling showed us the best sports to watch the changing of the guard, told many interesting fact about places we visited and London in general. Couldn’t imagine better way to get to know London more! Highly recommend it.
