Excellent walking tour of London. It highlighted the go to spots. Caroline was very prompt and responsive with my concerns and questions prior to the tour. She sent excellent comprehensive information prior to meeting for the tour. The meeting place was easy to find and the drop off point was near to some additional possible places to explore. Caroline was an excellent storyteller with extensive knowledge of not only the tour areas but Great Britain history. The tour was well paced with sitting stops, restroom breaks and fun lunch. I highly recommend this tour as an introduction to London. It’s a great jump off point to do more exploration in areas of interest or see the high points if your London visit is short.
