Nothing to love. The whole experience was unprofessional and I won't be recommending to my friends. We arrived outside Exit 1, as per the instructions. We waiting for 45mins with my wife and 2 x Kids and saw no guide. I asked the station staff and local police if they knew where to meet, but they never head of an event meeting outside Exit 1.

Our Harry Potter tour in London led by David was an exceptional adventure that perfectly balanced enchantment and education. His remarkable friendliness towards the kids made the experience truly special, creating an atmosphere of comfort and excitement. With an impressive depth of knowledge about both the wizarding world and London's history, our guide skillfully wove together a narrative that fascinated young and old alike. This tour is an absolute must for families seeking a delightful and kid-friendly exploration of Harry Potter's magical universe intertwined with the charms of London.

Our tour guide John was very nice and knew London well. He managed a problem with the tube and had lots of London history along with the Harry Potter knowledge. Your Oklahoma Family loved it John. Thanks again

The tour of the various places around Buckingham Palace. The changing of the guard. Too bad the guide didn't speak French. For such a touristy city, it would be nice if the guides were multilingual. So we didn't understand the various explanations. We followed the group.

There was mention of Big Ben and seeing the changing of the Horse Guard during the tour and neither of those truly happened. Big Ben was talked about from a distance, outside and I believe given the amount paid for the ticket we would at least walk inside and do a brief tour after the Abbey. The tour guide was great for what we did see but felt mislead

The tour was exceptional, and our tour guide David was "top shelf whiskey" in my book. His energy, knowledge, and care for our group on such a crowded day, combined with his humor and professionalism, exceeded our expectations! If you get David, ask him about his one experience meeting the Queen....EPIC!

Very difficult to find our meeting point. This needs to be simpler for tourists who are not familiar with the city. Even locals were not sure where our meeting place was! We found it just in time as our group was ready to go. So glad we gave ourselves the extra time to navigate ourselves. Once our tour started it was all worth the trouble. Our tour guide Sara was charming with a sense of humor. She was lovely. Well explained walking tour and excellent areas chosen to see the changing of the guard's marching band. We highly recommend this tour.

The changing of the guard guide was good, although he left us and we had to look for him. They sell the tour as one but they are two different providers, there is no one to tell you where to find the next provider. The boat was good but they didn't explain anything in Spanish.

Easy booking via web page. But bad organising at the spot. Namely on the spot there were no directions where Gate A is and it took us some time in the rain to find it. After we had changed web booking ticket for official ticket at Gate A, we had to move again to the quee in Gate C where the entrance was.

I don't speak English and that's why it was difficult for me with tickets. I bought them online, but I didn't know that I had to go to the ticket office at the place of the tour. I thought an electronic ticket would be enough.

Ticketing went quite easily. The day we saw the palace was okay but the guide never announced that we wouldn't see Changing of the Guards. It was also quite a long walk around in circles to get to our entry point.

The place is beautiful, and the idea that they are standing there during ceremonies and receptions made me feel special. However! If you do not know, where to go, you can have many embarrassing conversations. I even asked help from the guard of the palace to help me, where the tour starts. Good to know: do not wait at the Victoria Memorial Fountain. If you stand at the front of the palace and the fountain is behind you, than you have to go to the left, turn right at the corner of the palace and go a ca. 1 minute walk. There will be the ticket office and the start of the tour as well. I suggest to add this little information to the description as well. This was the most disappointing thing during my entire stay in London - that the exact starting place was not specified on the Headouts site!

To get to know the palace from the inside. They don't let you take pictures so I can't upload any. The tour is very interesting and I liked the idea of being able to visit the same places that the kings and princes visited.

Our guide was extremely pleasant but she gave out (at times) very inaccurate information on the tour....e.g. she called Horse Guards parade "the arena" and said Queen Victoria never left Windsor castle after Prince Albert died and had died at Windsor.... and other minor/major errors. As our group consisted of a lot of foreign tourists (mainly American) I felt they deserved a better more accurate tour which unfortunately our guide was unable to give. The tour consisted of a LOT of walking which wasn't anticipated and we never actually saw the changing of the guard, rather, we were "positioned" at a great distance to catch a glimpse of the parade passing by. We thoroughly enjoyed Buckingham Palace but on reflection it would have been better to book entry directly with the Palace and wait at the Palace railings to actually see the changing of the guard.

I will start by saying that there were so many people everyhere that it is somewhat difficult to give it an honest review. People pushing, jumping line, shoving, etc made for a not so nice event. The state rooms were absolutely gorgeous and I loved them but the crowds made it for a not so enjoyable experience. Obviusly they are open only a short period of time so everyone wants to get in in 6 weeks?

Enjoyed the state rooms but the Audio could be improved maybe detailing more about the life of the royals in the castle etc. Also your instructions on where to find the ticket office were really poor with the google link pointing to the front gate. Also surely when you issue a digital ticket you should be able to scan these att the entrance and not have to go and wait in a big queue to obtain what you have already purchased with the people buying their tickets there.
