A full three hour walking tour with several stops along the way to view royal parks etc. Our tour guide Will was excellent. Good stories at each stop. Also got us a good spot along the road to Buckingham Place to not only see the changing of the guards but to see the King and Queen drive right by us (guessing this is not guaranteed on every tour). It’s touristy for sure and on this particular day there were many tours but if you don’t mind crowds and walking (and probably rain) it’s worth it. Please note that the changing of the guards doesn’t happen everyday so if that’s what you are looking for be sure to check schedules.
Booked this tour for our honeymoon and I could not imagine not doing it. Very well organized, informative, and fun! It really is a must do. We came all the way from Nebraska, USA and we were not disappointed. Will was a great guide! (Maybe his name was William? Bill? Willie? Billy? I think it was Will haha).
I did a solo trip to London and did extensive research trying to find the best tour for myself of Westminster to really get in as much as possible. I am SO GLAD I went with this company. Cleo was amazing! She gave loads about all the history but also was a fantastic story teller. The pace of the tour was great. We covered MILES but I never felt like we were walking forever. She even managed to get us a view of King Charles as he was coming into work (I think that was a luck/good timing thing but she made sure we were front and center). I would highly recommend going with this company. I would take the tour again if I came back with friends and they wanted to go. Thanks, Cleo!!
Our guide, Benedict, was wonderful: absolutely fantastic! Informative, funny, helpful, personable, accommodating, but we will never use La Vacanza Travel again. We booked 2 guided tours with La Vacanza Travel this week, and we feel swindled on both. For this walking tour, the ad says 4 hours. The confirmation and reviews indicated 3 hours. We were going to let that go. Yet, 330am on the morning of the tour, we got an email message that we were being shortened to 1 hour 45 minutes because of Spring break crowds. We paid weeks ago, way too much$$ for what was less than half of its advertisement. Spring break was no surprise. Start time should've been adjusted from 10am to 9am weeks ago or price decreased. (oh, on the 2nd "guided" tour, we gained admission to Tower of London, but no one from the tour company ever met us, they never sent meet or start instructions in the confirmation, and we were left without recourse as the contact function in the La Vacanza Travel app was simply "unavailable" and disabled . We never saw the crown jewels or inside the buildings. ). Never again.
Adrian was fantastic. I don't write a lot of reviews but felt compelled to leave one just to give him credit. He made the tour fun and enjoyable. His knowledge and enthusiasm were off the charts. This was a really good tour with a lot of famous sites and was enjoyable for the whole family. I would definitely recommend it.
