I bought two tours with Fun London Tours: 1. Changing of the guards and 2. Hidden London Tour. Our guides were Alex and Rosie. We loved everything about our experiences. We strongly recommend both of them. The guides were nice and made our tours fun! Next time we come to London, we will love to try the other tours this company has to offer!
Rather than queue for hours and still not see anything, we chose this tour to see the different stages of the Changing of the Guard. We were close enough at all locations to get great photos. Matt was funny, friendly and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about the protocols and processes involved in this iconic ceremony.
I did the Changing of the Guards tour, led by Matt. This was an excellent tour and the only way to see this important and long-standing ceremony. As Matt says in his ads, hundreds or thousands gather outside the gates of Buckingham Palace, but they have no idea what will happen, when it will happen or why. And they are missing so many of the interesting aspects of the ceremony. Matt has developed a route, timing and approach that lets his groups see multiple different stages of the process, all in different locations, and even march along with the Old Guard and the New Guard as they move from their two separate starting locations to the palace. At every point along the way, he tells interesting stories that provide good background on what is going on and why. We had a great time, and we got so much more out of this two-hour block than we ever could have if we only went to one location and tried to make sense of it on our own. If you are interested in the pageantry and ceremony that surrounds this very traditional military process, you do not want to miss this tour. Thanks, Matt!!!
Fantastic experience for the Changing Guard tour. Matt was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. If you’re considering seeing the changing guard, I highly recommend a tour, as they know exactly where and when to be.
Had a great tour around Fleet Street, really informative and Matt was brilliant in telling us great facts and showing me a different part of London, my favourite bit was the fountain in the barasters quarter, areas which were tiny pieces of quiet, peace and calmness. We booked as a group and our organiser has promised us a few new tours in the future! I'm up for the Black death one!!!
