We enjoyed our tour very much. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of things that we didn’t know about London. We had not been to London in a number of years, so we chose this tour to give us a good overview.

We literally got off the plane, dropped our luggage at the hotel and met Alexandra for a city walking tour. Despite being a little tired and jet lagged we had a great afternoon getting acquainted with the city in our first afternoon. She was extremely knowledgeable and encouraged us to ask questions- such a delight.
