Tim, was hilarious, very funny and made the walking tour very pleasant. My husband and I found our tour guide very knowledgeable in the history while explaining the tour. The river cruise was delightful and pugs us right next to the tower bridge , perfect photo and for last the Tower of London which is the mis rain where the Queen has her jewels, excellent. We definitely recommend this tour, please do remember on Tuesday there is no change of guard in front of the Buckingham palace, therefore we missed that part of the tour. Will suggest to carry umbrella or rain jacket
