Our guide Jane was wonderful! So thoughtful and knowledgeable. She kept everyone engaged and the tour moving so we could see as much as possible. The Changing of the Guards is chaotic, but she took us to several different places to view it and we got to see much of it. Great experience!

Marc was a phenomenal guide, knowledgeable, engaging, and funny! He made sure to engage the kids on our tour (ages 7-12) throughout which we and they very much appreciated. He went out of his way to find us the best changing of the guard experiences and was flexible to the needs and wishes of the group!
