Tracy was a phenomenal tour guide and provided my family and I a wonderful tour around London. She was very knowledgeable of UK history and has a great sense of humor. When we return we will be calling her again. THANK YOU!!!!
Dave met us at the hotel, in his own immaculate black London cab. He had water in a cooler for our 9-hour day for us! We stopped at Greenwich to see “the line” and he pointed out where the Mayflower actually left from a point we could see. Then we spent most of the day viewing Canterbury Cathedral and the Kent area with medieval streets that we walked through and ate twice, once at a tea house and once at a pub. Dave was an extraordinary historian which we loved his stories and details including tying some things to our American history! Dave was sooo polite and respectful to what we wanted to do that day. I would hire him again in the future! Thanks, Dave!!!
My family and I had one day to fit in London. It was my families’ first time to London and my first time back since graduate school. Our driver Steve Thomas was unbelievable from beginning to end. His communication, care, and ideas made the experience full of history and fun and one to remember. I can’t imagine doing London any other way. Hire the EXPERTS and ask for Steve. You won’t regret it!
Mick was fabulous!! We got to see everything we wanted, plus several more great sites! The whole day was customized for our family. Mick was very friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely flexible. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough, and Mick was the best!!
Great experience with Dave! great person, great knowledge! Pleasure to share family time with him!! Well recommended
I’m a little late in writing this review but I had to make sure I wrote one because our experience with Louie as our guide was phenomenal. My husband, mother, and I booked a 4 hour private black tab tour and hit all the major London highlights. We were also able to request specific things we wanted to see that weren’t on the standard itinerary. We chose to see the new Banksy statue and the Memorial to Heroic Self Sacrifice at Postman’s Park. Louie said the memorial isn’t a common request, which blows my mind because it was one of our favorite things we saw. Highly recommend a visit on your tour! We did our tour on a Monday and Louie knew exactly where to take us so we could get a good view of the changing of the guard without having to wait in the huge crowds. We got a better view than we would have had we tried to do it on our own and didn’t even have to wait. Plus he told us some cool stories while we were there. The tour would have been cool on its own, but having Louie as our guide made it absolutely fantastic. We were stuck in quite a bit of traffic because we took an abnormal route with our requests, and Louie had a fun fact or historical note on EVERYTHING. It was amazing. We learned so much and it made us not even realize there was traffic because there was constantly something cool to learn. We couldn’t recommend this enough. This was the best tour we’ve literally ever been on. Thank you Louie!
Wow. Tracy was an incredible tour guide!! We did a tour through London and saw all of the great sites, but Tracy had interesting historical stories that were also quite funny and sweet. My father and I had a wonderful time.
This was a very pleasant and above expectations tour, the guide was very nice, polite and adapted to our wishes for stops for shopping and buying ice cream… We were very pleasantly surprised that the guide brought a bag full of refreshingly cold water bottles that lasted even after our tour and they were a real life saviour. It’s also available for the disabled.
Best tour guide ever. She was very polite and adatable. Explained everything with passion.
Louie was AMAZING! Excellent guide and excellent company! We truly enjoyed everything with him and the wey he told us all about history
