What a total joy it was to take this tour. We were taken to see all the famous sites in a London cab. The driver guide knew just where to go to get the best views and photos. He catered for our limitations brilliantly and made our introduction to London a memorable one. This is posted some months after the fact as I attached the original review to another tour
This was a marvelous experience. My family and I adored Tony. He is knowledgeable, personable and tailored the tour to our tastes. If you are looking for a way to get up close to the things you want to see and do, and learn a lot while touring, Tony is your Man!!! Can not recommend him highly enough, you will not regret booking this tour!!!
Tony is such a delight. He is very knowledgeable of not only London, but all the history that accompanies his tour stops. He arrived on time, was very courteous and it seems that he is adored by everyone we met on his tour route. We were a bit underwhelmed when we first arrived to London but quickly changed our minds after enjoying this half day tour. I would recommend Tony to anyone interested in seeing London.
Tony was very knowledgeable and informative on the tour and about the history of London. We really enjoyed the spots he took us to.
Tony was knowledgeable, friendly, considerate, on time, accommodating, and every other good adjectives you can think of. We enjoyed his tour very much. Well worth the money.
I wish there was a higher review number than 5 because Tony gave us the most amazing day. He picked us up in his impeccably clean cab and gave us the best tour, hitting all the key spots as well as some off the beaten path. He is an excellent tour guide and our day with him was one of the highlights of our trip to London.
Tony may be one of the most charismatic historians I have ever encountered! He is charming, enthusiastic about his job and a true professional highlighting all the best spots to go, even providing professional camera shots so that everyone can be included. We had our 2 young teenagers with us and usually a four hour tour would be complete torture for them. Everyone had a great time, my husband and I obviously enjoyed the historical bits more than the kids, but we got to see so much more of London than we would have without Tony. He is a total gem and highly recommended
This was incredible! Tony was incredible! So knowledgeable and extremely engaging and entertaining! He has a knack for connecting with people, and communicating all facts like a story. We felt like old friends by the end of our tour. Would give him 10 stars if that was an option
Our London highlights tour with Tony was nothing short of amazing!! Our group of friends had never been to London (or hadn't been for decades) - so everything was new to us. Tony drove us to all our must see landmarks in London and more. He shared his complete knowledge of London in a way that made the tour an adventure and a complete pleasure! Tony knows not only the roadways in London but also the City's rich history - hearing his discussion was like listening to a story intermixed with current events, pop culture, and lots of humor! And I really appreciated his help to get our Abbey Road photo shoot just right! He is a true professional and a lovely person. I will definitely book him again. Now that I know he has a Ted Lasso tour...I'll be back! Thank you Tony!!
