Changing Of Horse Guard & Buckingham Palace With Funny Historian

Excellent tour with an excellent guide

The #1 tour! Robin is fantastic!

Robin was an excellent tour guide and brought us to 3 different spots to watch the changing of the guards. As a history teacher he knows lots of fun facts.

He is hilarious and great with kids!

This was our first Fantastic Walk but not our last. It was led by young Robin, our Tour Guide, who made it informative, inclusive, funny, interesting and overall a very enjoyable experience. It’s such a purposeful way to learn about parts of central London that you’ve heard of but not really seen. We look forward to joining him for future Walks and if you’re thinking of trying one would highly recommend it!

Robin was great, funny, knowledgeable and showed us places I would have never found. Made the two hours very enjoyable.

Lived up to its name! fantastic. Very informative guide - a lovely blend of humour and fact peppered with anecdotes that make you remember as well as enjoy, LOADS included!!

Robin was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and amusing. He showed us interesting and secret corners of London that we had no idea about. I would like to attend other tours with him soon. Can't recommend him highly enough!

Robin was an excellent tour guide. He made the tour very enjoyable, and I learnt quite a lot. Just when you think you know everything about Westminster, you take this tour and are proven wrong!

This walk was such a great experience! I learned so much about Westminster, and the guide made it fun the whole way through. The stories were funny, surprising, and told in a way that kept everyone hooked — not cheesy at all, just smart and entertaining. It felt like history was being “exposed” in the best way. I’d absolutely recommend this if you want to explore Westminster with a guide who knows how to make the past come alive.

Such a great guided walking tour. Robin made the walk good fun and interesting. He was so knowledgeable and engaged really well with all members of the group. We visit London regularly but he took us to places that we would not have found ourselves. Thank you for a great couple of hours.

Had a brilliant tour with Robin. Very informative, took us down lots of little nooks and crannies which I didn’t know existed,even though spent most of my life in London. Knowledge was impressive and great sense of humour. You can tell he absolutely loves London! Definitely recommend.

Robin was knowlegable, fun, friendly, inclusive and a great guide. Would pick another of his walks without hesitation.

Robin was an excellent guide. Perfect blend of fun & facts. Highly recommend to both visitors and Londoners alike. Very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours in central London.

Our second walk with Robin in recent weeks - having so enjoyed his Rock’n’Roll Soho walk, we looked forward to Wonders of Westminster and we weren’t disappointed. I thought I knew the area but Robin was full of interesting facts and stories that I didn’t know - every one a gem. His enthusiasm for his subject is infectious and I hope to do more of his walks in the future.

The Wonders of Westminster was my 2nd walk within a week within a week with Robin and indeed it was wonderful ! Last week I joined RocknRoll in Soho and loved it so much booked Wonders of Westminster. Friendly crowd, some of whom had been on Robin’s previous walks like myself. Robin easily shares his passion and humour for London making this 2 hours of pure joy ! Go have a wonderful time, we’re looking forward to our next walk with Robin.

Very informative and enjoyable walk through Westminster. Tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable, pointing out lesser known nuggets of the area's history.

Really enjoyed 2hour Wonders Of Westminster Walk: From The Palace To The Abbey. Robin was informative, clear, concise, energetic & entertaining with humour. 👍

Thoroughly enjoyed the walk, so informative and entertaining. Told with humour. Visited places I would never have found on my own. Thoroughly recommend this tour. You won’t regret it. It’s brilliant! 😊

Oh wow!What a brilliant,excellent and wonderful few hours spent on your guided tour from Buckingham Palace to Westminster with everything in betweeen,Great fun and so interesting,learned a lot. You really must book this.Robin(guide) you are the best Jeff and Sue Cooper

This was one of the best walks I have been on. Robin was an excellent guide with bottomless knowledge of London. You can tell by his engaging manner this is more an obsession than a job. I was entertained for the whole 2 hours and took away many notes to research later. From churchills cigar shop, the oldest wine merchants in the uk, the great fire of London, the Duke of wellington and the tombstone of the German ambassadors dog buried under a tree in central London plus much much more. I can’t recommend this tour enough and will definitely return for one of the other walks on robins list.

Robin was a very knowledgeable guide. He was friendly and very engaging . I told robin that I liked the little snippets of history that you don’t often hear about. Robin didn’t fail on this point and with agreement from the rest of the group we followed Robin down walkways and alleys to seek out little bits of London history still there to be seen if you knew where to look. I can’t recommend this tour enough and have friends visiting from America next year who will definitely be on this walk.

Robin was a fantastic guide. The tour was packed with interesting facts. He is very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this tour.

Definitely fantastic! Extremely interesting and enjoyable. Very knowledgeable and pleasant tour guide. I heard every word clearly, despite the background noise. My appetite to know more about London has increased. A perfect activity for the once in a lifetime visitor as well as anyone who has lived in London for some time. A memorable experience!

Excellent insight into the history of a fascinating area. Robin really knows his stuff and told us many funny and quirky anecdotes.

This is the best London guided tour (of quite a few!) that I have ever been on. It was a fascinating and funny 2+ hours. Robin was really knowledgeable and friendly. The pace of the walk and of the information-sharing was perfect. I would recommend this tour, without hesitation, and hope to try other tours of his soon.

Robin is one of the best tour guides! He is engaging, very knowledgable and has great humour! Lots of laughs throughout his tour, and we really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you Robin!

What a great tour. 2 hours with Robin and it feels like only 30 minutes. Nice small group (7 people) and lots of hidden gems that I didn't know about even though I'm living here since over 10 years. Had a great time and am now looking forward to doing his other tours.

Robins walk was excellent! It's an area I have walked several times but he brought lots of new insights and information. He is a great raconteur with historical knowledge and many anecdotes

I live in Central Westminster so should know all the local streets and landmarks but I encountered loads that I'd never noticed. Robin is a very fun and approachable guide and I much preferred his style to that of guides on other walks I've been on. The 2 hours went very quickly - I'd love to have had an extra hour as there was so much much to cover !

Excellent walk/ tour. Robin made this walk very enjoyable. Historical fact alongside interesting anecdotes and stories to bring the buildings and environment into the modern era. Particularly liked the photos of the blitz and bombings from WWII to put the modern rebuilding into perspective. Will certainly look at what else Fantastic Walks have to offer

Robin is a cheery, knowledgable tour guide who gave us a splendid, interesting tour finding gems for us to see off the beaten track that were a pleasure. Highly recommend.

Absorbing and humorous walk fro Green Park to Downing Street. Robin was funny and knowledgeable and kept us all entertained.

Fabulous central London walk. Our guide Robin was excellent…good fun & extremely knowledgeable! The group was a good size so that we were all able to see and hear him clearly. Definitely recommend 🤩

I live in London but saw and learned so many new and interesting things from different periods of British history. Highly recommended.

A brilliant 2 hour walk through Westminster. We saw places we would never normally notice and stories and anecdotes that you don’t read in the history books. Robin delivers the information clearly and with a great sense of humour. Definitely to be recommended.

Excellent very informative. Our guide robin was brilliant had a great sense of humour and gave some interesting facts. Would definitely recommend this company

Really enjoyed the walk today...Robin was full of information and facts which made it very interesting. Even though I am from London, it is definitely worth doing to learn about our history! It was a very hot day but Robin made sure we stopped in shady areas while he spoke.He had an I pad too and was able to show us important historical photos taken at the landmarks he was showing us. I would definitely recommend this walk.

Robin was an animated and informative guide who made the tour thoroughly enjoyable he was open to lots of questions which made the experience very welcoming and the whole group very much enjoyed his company for the 2 hour tour! Highly recommended we saw some amazing sites and learnt lots about places included in the tour and additionally many others that were along the route. Thank you Robin!

Amazing experience with Robin who was a great guide and very funny host. Loved the tour and would definitely do other tours with him.

Fantastic tour. Highly recommended. Robin was too good. Very educated and knowledgeable tour guide. Humble , funny. Deserve all the stars!!

Excellent experience. The Guide, Robin, is great fun, and a mine of interesting facts. This the second walk I've taken with Fantastic Walks and I highly recommend them.

Robin was a great guide, very engaging with the group. As well as the main sights, he took us off the beaten track. Lots of info/stories etc which made it a very enjoyable couple of hours. Plan to do some of his other tours idc. Highly recommended.

I live in London, but there are lots of things I didn’t know, so a walking tour of Westminster seemed like a good idea. The instructions were clear, and it was immediately obvious that our guide, Robin, was so much more than an average tour guide. You can tell he’s a teacher - he takes real joy in sharing his love of London and its stories. He’s friendly, witty and knowledgeable. He took the time and trouble to learn our names, and led us on a two-hour walk around familiar and unfamiliar parts of Westminster, sharing facts, anecdotes and personal insights. Whether you are visiting London or are already familiar with it, this has got to be on your agenda; you’ll come away with new insights and a fresh appreciation of our wonderful city. After such a positive experience in Westminster, I’m looking forward to the Fantastic Walks Soho walk as my next adventure.

An excellent walk. The time flew past. Being a local I still learnt and saw many things I wasn’t previously aware of. That's why I enjoy doing the occasional walking tour, being able to take stock of amazing surroundings, away from the usual rat race. Robin was a great guide. Recommended.

An excellent, informative and thoroughly enjoyable tour. Robin was very knowledgeable and fun, sharing non-mainstream facts and information which really brought the tour alive. He is very engaging and relates well to his clients - highly recommended.

Robin is an excellent narrator and I enjoyed a lot this tour. We discovered lots of interesting information in a relaxed and fun environment. Highly recommended to locals/London residents or tourists alike

Excellent time learning more about the multilayered history of Westminster!! Robin was both very informative and entertaining - highly recommend - look forward to doing more tours - Thanks for a great Sunday afternoon!!
