Lee was amazing--he helped us get to the best spots for the changing of the guard, and he was extremely informative during the entire tour. The highlight of the tour was that we got to see the king, thanks to his knowledge and taking us to the right spots! We loved our time with him--even our kids enjoyed hearing his stories! Can't recommend him and this tour enough!
