Nick is clearly a very passionate, experienced and dedicated professional guide. He seamlessly mixed humor, history and local knowledge in ways that made my trip more memorable and fun. Nick was also easy to work with and communicated quickly and often. I never felt rushed during the several hour tour and felt like I could stop and focus on things that interested me. I would highly encourage anyone and everyone to book a tour with Loudman Tours. I know that if I ever make it back to London he will be the first person I call.

Really enjoyed Nick’s tour of Westminster Abbey. He kept it light, fun, and easy to follow, and pointed out loads of details we would’ve walked straight past. He was flexible and kept at our own pace. Just a really good way to see the place.
I had the pleasure of a Majesty in Motion guided tour with Nick the famous Loudman! I have to say it was brilliant, and I would thoroughly recommend any tour with Nick, he is incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. Andrew.
What a fantastic way to be introduced to Royal London! We saw so much thanks to Nicks expert knowledge of where to be for the best photo opportunities at exactly the right time. We would have had no chance trying to plan that ourselves. The walk there and back around was wonderful as well. Nick engaged the group with all his stories and facts. He really knows so much to make it fun for everyone. I will be booking myself on more of his tours whilst in town. Thank you
I had a great morning with Nick on his Majesty in Motion tour. It was incredibly informative and Nick is a wonderful guide with bags of energy, great facts and a winning sense of humour. I would thoroughly recommend a Laudman Tour to anyone who wants to get to see the Changing of the Guard and to learn more about the wonderful history of London.
A real fun and informative morning with Nick, strollling around the highlights of Westminster. He really knows his stuff, from the best place to stand to see the Changing of the Guard, to lots of stories which you simply wouldn’t find in a guidebook, and all delivered with a smile and real warmth. He even made sure the daffodils were in full bloom for our visit!! Great tour. Highly recommend.
This tour was simply incredible, if you want to see the very best of Westminster/Royal history and learn some amazing facts with a fun & energetic guide this is the tour for you. This was the most fun & insightful tour I have ever done in London. Nick is amazing, you will not regret booking this tour. He shows you all the main things, but also points out some fascinating hidden gems. He brings the history to life with his explanations and stories. He also puts you in the best places to witness the changing of the guard without being swamped by thousands of people. I cannot recommend this tour enough, it is a must do when you are in London. In my opinion Nick is the best tour guide in London. I have done many tours with many guides over the years & Nick is the very best of the bunch.
My grandsons and I gate crashed a tour that was in process on the 6 Aug in the Mall. Nick had a lovely couple from the US with him and we proceeded down the Mall. Buckingham palace and gave us facts you might not have known - how many bedrooms does it have? Went on through St James park, horse guards parade for changing the guards, information about Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and parliament. Round onto Whitehall, Downing Street. Nick was a brilliant guide, funny and informative. Really recommend Nick - join his tours - you’ll have fun
What a fun, enjoyable and cool morning with Nick. This was one of the best tours that I did in my life. Highly recommended if you want to have a different (but historial) morning in central London
Nick is an amazing guide and everything he tels is interesting and funny. For this tour he makes sure that you have the best view possible of the changing guards and Buckingham palace.
Nick is an excellent tour guide - I spent an extremely enjoyable morning being entertained with amazing stories, incredible facts and a great sense of fun. Nick chose all the best places to stand to see the Changing of the Guard in all its glory and I learned a huge amount about Westminster, the Royals and much more beside. I highly reccomend him.
Such a wonderful experience Nick was amazing took us to all the best spots to see the changing of the guard and gave great historical insight and depth at each highly recommend for anyone who wants a five star experience
Nick was FANTASTIC! He was kind, funny, informative, personable and even took the time to personally call me to make sure there wasn’t a miscommunication or problem with our booking. We enjoyed our tour with him so much! He took us to the perfect locations to have great views of the changing of the guards and many attractions throughout the city. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him and regretted not being able to do an additional tour with him.
This tour was interesting and informative about the history of this area of London. Nick, the tour guide is fun and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend this tour.
Wow, what a trip! I recently took the "Jack the Ripper and Victorian London: Beyond the Shadows" tour and I'm still buzzing from the experience. First off, our guide, Nick was like a walking history book, but way cooler. He knew everything about Victorian London and Jack the Ripper's chilling escapades. But what I loved most was how he made history come alive. Instead of just talking about the murders, he painted a vivid picture of life in the East End back then. We strolled through the same streets as Jack and his victims, and let me tell you, it sent shivers down my spine! The reenactments were a total hoot. I felt like I was in a time machine, soaking up the sights and sounds of old London. Plus, our guide had a knack for storytelling that kept us hooked from start to finish. Whether you're a history buff or just looking for a spooky good time, this tour is a must-do. Trust me, you won't regret it!
This was our first trip to London. We wanted to see the iconic sights, but weren't sure how to go about it. Nick was the perfect guide. He had everything well organized and was able to show us the famous places we had heard about and some we hadn't. Nick knew the best places to stand and had interesting and funny stories everywhere we went. We enjoyed it so much we took a second tour with Nick.
My wife and I really enjoyed attending the Majesty in Motion Tour. Nick is fantastic, he is very knowledgeable and engaging. We would highly recommend!
Nick was a brilliant guide. He was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience entertaining. I would 100% recommend Nick for this tour!
A friend who traveled in London before me recommended Nick's guided tour to me, I am a person who has traveled for over two years in the last 7 years and I want to say that Nick was the best tour guide I have ever seen. Professional at the level of information in such a spectacular way, funny, exciting and with such deep knowledge. Thank you Nick for an unforgettable experience London would not have been the same without you!
Wow a truly magical experience Nick is so insightful on every aspect of the Royal family’s history whilst also making sure we got to all the best places to watch the changing of the guard and the changing of the horse guards. Furthermore Nick engages with every member of his group and makes sure that everyone is involved and enjoying themselves and is always happy to answer any questions any of us had on numerous topics. I would highly recommend taking this tour with him as it is a truly phenomenal experience.
A wonderful experience of pomp and ceremony so glad I booked with loudman tours and Nick he is a wonderful guide truly passionate about what he does and engages with everyone in the group keeping you on your toes and full of excitement and energy throughout. Wether that be at Buckingham palace The Houses of Parliament or Westminster abbey it’s is a truly wonderful experience Not to mention the sheer grandeur of the changing of the guard which is fascinating to behold
We're local, but took visiting family for an expert guide and he did a great job, getting in all the main stuff like Big Ben at just the right pace. Definitely recommended to others visiting and even us locals learnt some new things!
Very informative with lots of interesting relatable facts. At the right pace and also helpful with advice and information about other places in London to visit.
Living in London I’d never seen the changing of the guard! Nick met the group in Trafalgar Square sharing stories of the famous and not-so-famous landmarks. I learned so much about our fascinating history! Nick took us to the best spots to get the good views so I got some great photos! I was so impressed with Nick’s knowledge of local history, it really brought the day to life! Now I’m definitely going to be going on more tours to hear the real stories about the place I live! Thank you so much for a fabulous day out!
