Nigel was so entertaining. He we full of information. It was hot but he tried to be accommodating. We did not get to see the Changing of the Guard because of the heat. That was disappointing but we made the best of it. Nigel did a great job of walking us through Westminster Abbey. It so amazing.

Nigel was very entertaining, funny and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we did not get to see the changing of the guards because it was canceled because it was too hot. That was very rare. Nigel was very considerate of the heat and tried to keep us in the shade as much as possible. Westminster Abbey was the best part. It was extremely impressive, and Nigel had great stories to tell about it. He helped us navigate the crowd so it could be the best experience possible. There were glitches with the microphone, but Nigel tried his best to correct the issue so we could hear everything. Overall, it was a great experience.
