It was great to listen to his commentary and also to march along beside them as they made their way to Buckingham Palace. We were able to see them from a few different spots and then we hung out at Buckingham Palace to take photos for a while before heading down to where the guards return after they're done. We would not have known about their return trip if it weren't for the information we got from Alex. It really was a great experience!

Then we walked with the soldiers to Buckingham Palace for the rest of the ceremony. We were intrigued with facts that were both praising of the Royal family as well as those facts that weren't so flattering. Do you remember the days when you could get truth from the news? Both sides of the facts? Well, they have their guides trained on facts. Good and bad. So you can decide for yourself.

Luckily she found Strawberry Tours for a Harry Potter walking tour and it was lovely. It was around 3 hours total, and we were guided by Samy who was AMAZING. Such an incredible person, he was so genuinely friendly and helpful, and was such a whiz with all-things Harry Potter! I can't imagine all of the research he must have done to learn all that he knows. Our group learned so much about the places and people that inspired J.K. Rowling's books, and it was so invigorating seeing these places in person and learning more about where scenes were shot, etc. I was so impressed with Samy, and so glad he chose this as a profession because he is truly meant for human connection and I appreciate all of the little things he incorporated into the tour to help make it special for all of us. It was an experience I will never forget. I love the concept of tipping what you feel is fair - although it's a gamble for the company/tour guides, I truly appreciate the trust being put into the experience. Thank you for making this possible!

I wouldn't say that the itineraries are anything out of the ordinary (it's stops you could plan out yourself with research), but it was a good experience to go with an organized group tour. Both tours started/ended on time and booking was seamless. The tours, as others have noted, are pay-what-you-will, so it's up to you what you want to pay (I paid 10 pounds each). They do accept card payment, but cash seems to be preferred.

The morning of our booking I had a medical emergency (which we were able to verify to Skuna) so we called about six hours before our tour to ask if we could reschedule for another day. We understood this was incredibly short notice, so we didn't expect a refund or even a full credit. We asked if since the food would obviously not be prepared could we at least have a credit for the food portion if not the tour time. The answer was a fairly insensitive no, and were told the manager said they can't do anything with a same day cancel. Of course, we understood the uniqueness of the situation and had it not been due to a legitimate medical issue we never would have asked. However, the staff we spoke to didn't even show concern for the situation. We had to cancel drinks and bites at Bokan as well for after our tour and the staff there said no problem, they showed concern, and wished us well. Understanding that policies are in place we sent an email the next day. Eight days later we have only received an automated reply stating that our email was received. This is an experience we've wanted to have since moving to London three years ago, but sadly we just aren't interested in giving more money to a company that has this little care for their customers.

In Britain, I used them successfully again, for a way to highlight London's must-see spaces without having to step inside each royal edifice. Fat Tire Tours offers a variety of guided bike tours of London and I opted for their 4-hour Royal London Tour. It showed me exactly as much as I cared to see of Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, and the rest without the tedium of traipsing from room to room inside each structure. The guide, making frequent stops along the busy route, relayed informative and anecdotal information and kept things moving at a snappy pace. Halfway through the tour, a 30-minute lunch/bathroom break at Trafalgar Square is a welcome diversion then it's back on the bikes for a bit more of the same. Fat Tire Tours is a sane and enjoyable way to see things in London and I can pretty much guarantee that you'll have more fun biking to London's sites than walking slowly through them with an audio-guide. The fact that I'm a repeat customer with Fat Tire Tours should speak for itself. In case it doesn't, here's some other details to help convince you: * Access their web site and fail to purchase and when you next access it (or before) you'll get a discount code. That discount meant that my 4-hour tour was under $30US per person. Good value. * Tours can be canceled for full refund up to 72 hours in advance. Why not book it just in case? * Tours aren't canceled for rain but FTT does have rain ponchos you can rent for $1. * 3-speed bikes, helmets, and the tour guide are all included in the price. London is flat, the ride is easy, and the experience is fun. Fat Tire Tours is a great way to experience whatever city you're visiting.

He created an itinerary specifically to meet our desires and we visited places that we NEVER would have found on our own. Given that Jose was born and raised near San Sebastian, he knew all the great places to eat, the special sights to see, etc. In addition, he was our driver and guide for the first 5 days. I worked with Jose over a period of several months to create the special itinerary, and up to the time we were there he was happy to make adjustments for weather and other changes we wanted. We felt the costs were very reasonable, even as he included 2 Michelin restaurants (one 3-star). There is no way that a regular tour agency can put together the kind of experience we had based in the efforts of Jose and his gracious wife. I have nothing but praise for Jose!
