We really loved the tour! Our guide Becky was knowledgeable, funny and approachable. She gave us an overview of history of places we were visiting, as well as London itself and “decorated” it with entertaining facts. When the 2h excursion ended, we were all saddened, cause we could listen more and more :) Highly recommend!
