"Sam’s gave us a masterful tour of Westminster’s architecture. Along the way, we covered Westminster Abbey, the statues of Parliament Square, the Houses of Parliament, Whitehall and Horse Guards Parade. We then finished with a beautiful walk down the Mall to Buckingham Palace. We were especially impressed by her deep knowledge of the Houses of Parliament, on which she wrote her thesis. The tour was also filled with fun visual cues and fascinating bits of trivia. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be both informed & entertained!"

"I took the Stones of Power architecture tour with Samantha and really enjoyed it. As an architect, I chose her tour because of its architectural focus, and it was really engaging. Samantha shared insights into Westminster’s buildings and their historical context, weaving together architecture and storytelling in a really engaging way. I even learned a few things I didn’t know before! Her passion and knowledge made the experience really enjoyable. I’d highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in architecture, history, or simply seeing the city from a new perspective."

"This was a new tour and the tour guide's enthusiasm and love of Westminster and architecture were excellent. She punctuated the illuminating description of the beautiful architecture of London's famed buildings with fascinating historical context, and charming anecdotes. This small tour was so much more personal than some of the more hectic, larger tours I have experienced. The length of the tour was just enough not to be tiring but long enough to learn and enjoy a great deal. Ending the tour in time to see the changing of the guard at buckingham palace was an added bonus. I would highly recommend this tour to visitors and Londoners alike!"

"Sam gave an amazing tour! I learned so much and loved that it was a small group. I've been on a few tours of London and this was one of the best. It was really cool to hear the architectural history and stories while seeing the monuments. I'll be thinking about this tour for a while. I highly recommend and I'd definitely book again!"
