Walking Tour of Big Ben and Parliament Was Fantastic

Our London walking tour was the highlight of our trip. Seeing Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey up close with a knowledgeable guide made the history come alive. Highly recommend for anyone wanting the best London sightseeing experience.

Changing of the Guard and Royal Landmarks Tour 🙂

Watching the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace was unforgettable. The guide explained every detail about the ceremony and we also explored royal highlights including St James’s Palace and Horse Guards Parade. A must-do for anyone visiting London.

Thames River Cruise with London Eye and Hotel Pick-Up

The Thames river cruise was incredible, especially combined with the London Eye. Hotel pick-up made it so easy, and our guide was funny, friendly, and made the day enjoyable from start to finish. Perfect way to see London’s skyline and landmarks.
