Darrell was great! He was professional, knowledgeable, interesting, and patient. We had our four children (ages 6, 11, 17, and 19) and we all enjoyed the tour. We learned so much, had a few good laughs, and found the best photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who likes history and wants to know more about the area.

We really liked our tour with Darrell. He was very knowledgeable, with an extraordinary amount of interesting facts. He acknowledged and answered all of our questions and our kids were entertained as well. The tour mostly focused on historic aspects of Westminster as we discussed the architecture and construction of important buildings, lives of public figures, and the overall history of the monarchy. We highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to know more about London and the UK.

I was lucky enough to have a total private tour with Darrell since other registered participants didn't show up. Side note here, please have the decency to cancel if you can't make it to a booked tour! Saves the guide and their guests waiting around. Darrell has a wealth of knowledge and he made the tour quite interesting pointing out important details and historical data. We covered a lot of ground in the 2 hours and I got a good overview of the City of Westminster!
