Our customers say...
London Tours with Karen Dawson
"What a superb day! Karen gave us a splendid 150-180 minute tour of Westminster Abbey and - my! - does she know her stuff! Peers, poets, scientists, warriors, kings and queens, and, of course, the Abbey itself:; Karen had interesting stories and an engaging delivery for all of them and was more than happy to deal with our questions. A really great morning, rounded off with a walk across Parliament Square and along Parliament Street and Whitehall to Trafalgar Square. I thought I knew this part of London, but not a bit of it:; Karen had something new every few metres! Thank you, Karen:; we'll be back!"

Our guide clearly knew her stuff – She sprinkled fascinating information with fun and quirky facts that engaged and entertained our party who was of all age groups. Time whizzed by and I was astounded by how much we had covered. Fantastic tour… Really recommend"
