Richard III was our guide. Very knowledgeable about the subject, however, not at all interested in finding out who his audience was. Apparently took for granted everyone was well-informed about English kings and queens and English history as a whole. At other times spoke to us as if we were young children - "I'm always standing with my back to what I'm talking about". His last comment to us us was "ah, you're trying to show off are you" when he himself brought the matter up.

We joined you for three walks in two days in late January - Westminster and the West End, Haunted London and Westminster Abbey. Fedra of the Blue Badge and neon sweaters led both of the Westminster walks. She is fantastic! She has the history down cold and a personality that made the walk pop. Both of her tours were all that we could have asked for. (We also thoroughly enjoyed Nick's Haunted London.)
As a side note, I admit to some trepidation when Fedra showed up to lead our first tour, given that she wasn't listed as a guide for that tour. The emotion was misplaced. We had a great time.
