    Andi was wonderfully personable and intimately knowledgeable about the history of Whitehall. Come loaded with questions (myself) or simply eager to learn (my wife) more about the section of London that started as a swamp and grew to become the heart of an Empire. Was sad when it ended but immensely grateful for such an impactful experience! (I took many more photographs but they’re more nuanced, rather than capturing the splendor of the architecture and monuments included)

    Andi is such an intelligent, well rounded, personable, yet professional tour guide. My son and I were the only ones on the tour. Other tour guides might've canceled or tried to reschedule us. He honored our booking with such a sweet attitude! He gave us so much interesting information and hidden little architecture details we surely would've missed! From the theory of C's on the Westminister lampposts to the factual government buildings and how they came to be to royal information.... so much rich history, stories and rumors! Andi added so much to our adventure to London! Thank you, Andi. You're a special gem.

    Andi is full of great stories, accomodating and is very passionate about his city, London. We went to been to both to his Whitehall and his Ghost walk a few months later (the latter one is very good especially as Halloween is approaching now) . Recommend!

    Andi guided myself and my husband through storied, historic Whitehall, taking in the original 'islands' of Westminster Palace and Westminster Abbey. Andi was personable, professional and steered his tour extremely well. He brought the past vividly alive as he talked about the execution of Charles 1st and the reluctant anchorite of Westminster Abbey and lost no opportunity to share fascinating explainations with us at every turn. No question phased him and his knowledge was encyclopediac. We would recommend Andi as one of the best guides we have ever had, and we have done upwads of 20 different London tours!
