Excellent

Hands down the highlight of our London vacation was the Changing of the Guard/Westminster tour with Patrick. He did an amazing job of guiding us through the crowds to find the best views, all the while providing fascinating information and historical detail. The tour was enjoyable and engaging and even though this was my 5th trip to London, I learned so much in our time together. Worth every pence! Thank you for a great morning!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable, as are most tour guides that Viator uses, I have found. This tour has a lot of walking since it covers a large amount of territory so be prepared.

Patrick was great. The Guard was not in its regular place because they were practicing trouping the colors. He knew just where they were and we saw hundreds of guards practicing!
