Richard was amazing. I would suggest a microphone since the city is very loud and at times it was very hard to hear him.

Response from Richard
Hi Alejandra Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately I have used a microphone in the past and the police informed me that they are not allowed on this particular tour due to simply the sheer number of guides doing. Changing of The Guards tour and the amount of noise that it would generate if we all used them. I have also received complaints previously from other guides and companies that run these tours. There are some guides that use remote microphone using individual headsets, again this is something I have explored in the past however as I am essentially an independent guide it it logistically impossible for me to carry and store the amount of equipment required for this. I hope that this didn’t take away any of the enjoyment of the tour today, it was nice meeting you and I hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in London.

Richard was great, was very knowledgeable annd brought us to good spots to take picture of the changing of the guards and their march path. He even helped guide us to locations that we were looking for around the city. He seems to have something against my Slytherin scarf though, not sure what was that about 🤭 but absolutely rate him 10/10!
