Review of London’s 3-hour small-group walking tour, covering Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and more for $47.94.
“Amazing tour! Nicole is very knowledgable and painted a picture of London, its history and people through the stories and anecdotes she told about each site. Not your average list of facts and dates rattled off at typical tours. After this experience, I feel like I have a connection with London and an appreciation for the disparities that make it what it is. Very well done!!! Not to mention, fantastic value for the money. I was the only one on my tour, so it was pretty much a private tour at an extremely reasonable price.”
