It was a great experience. Our tour guide Frank was fantastic, very knowledgeable, and very personable. Saw a lot of great things and learned a lot from Frank's presentation. We found the person who met us at the start very pleasant as well, can't remember if his name is Paddington or Winnie.

Excellent tour “Paddington Bear” was lovely. We do not recall, really what our tour guides name was, but he was wonderful.

Wonderful tour of the Abbey on Wednesday, May 1st . Our tour guide Frank was a gem. Very personable, knowledgeable and patient. We had a very cranky couple on tour with us who couldn’t stop complaining about literally everything. He handled them with grace and kindness. Impressive! We also had a family with 5 children and he kept them engaged as well. Highly recommend both Frank and Premium Tours.

Another overcast day in London. And what a wonderful day it was! I toured Westminster Abbey, which was absolutely STUNNING. It legit took my breath away. My tour guide was so knowledgeable and personable and funny. I can’t emphasize enough how everyone should do the tours when you visit Europe. They’re worth every penny. I also rode the London Eye, which was a lot of fun and a great way to see the city from another perspective. All in all, another great day in the UK. 🇬🇧
