Tour Important Information
Our tour takes place in Central London which has no shortage of refreshment and relief establishments. Nonetheless, I suggest that everyone should bring water and any snacks they might need to keep them going for up to three hours, and they should wear comfortable clothes - especially shoes.
As we want to see the guard change ceremonies that are timed with military precision we need to start on time at 10.00 am in Covent Garden, or a little earlier at your Central London hotel

About Tour Guide Ian F.
I am a lawyer, historian and official City of London and Westminster tour guide. Introducing guests to the splendours and secrets of my hometown is my passion. I try to make my tours a mixture of fun and fact (with some of the facts being funny and some of the fun being factual). I would love to arrange a private tour that will make your visit to London truly memorable. All of my income from tour guiding is donated to charity - currently World Jewish Relief's Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
