While our guide tried, I wouldn't recommend this for young children. Our tour guide wasn't as knowledgeable and she was focused on current stories versus historical facts. Our children know nothing of the current royal family. We had to keep prompting to ask for historical facts. I would not recommend.

We recently booked a 'Best of London' tour for families with London Tours For Kids and Families. The booking process was very easy and we even got to agree on some itinerary adjustments, so that we could accommodate some specific places (and some special kids' requirements) into the tour. We were lucky enough to have Dan assigned as our guide. He was very knowledgeable and incredibly fun! We visited the 'most wanted' places and we also learnt very interesting stories and fun facts about London. This tour was not only a great introduction to the city and its history, but it was also the best way to cover the two main neighborhoods (Westminster and City, including the changing of the Guard), in one single morning. We are very happy to have done it and we highly recommend it!
