Bryan is Very knowledgeable of all kinds of London history. We went to many unexpected places that we didn’t think we will see in the time we spent here. Highly recommend.
Hi Charly and Rebecca. Happy New Year to you both. A great way to start the New Year for me reading your review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and take you out on a walking and driving tour. We really did maximise on our time together seeing and learning a lot. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour and look forward to seeing you and your friends one day soon. Best regards Bryan.
Synopsis - book a tour with Bryan you won’t regret it. From the moment we booked our tour the communication was excellent and we knew we were in safe hands. The tour itself did not disappoint. Bryan adapted the tour to incorporate elements from his rock and roll tour so we ended up with the best of both worlds. We saw and learned more in few hours than I thought could be possible. In the end the tour exceeded all expectations. We had a mixed family group of different generations and walking abilities. Bryan carefully and safely guided us through busy pre-Christmas crowds to ensure we saw the sights that would give us the memories to look back on in years to come. Well worth it.
Hi Ewen, Sharon, Esther and Lindsay. I would like to say it was a pleasure to meet you and I enjoyed guiding and sharing my knowledge with you. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. We managed to see many sites including historical points in Carnaby Street, Mayfair and St.James's. The weather was cold but lovely and dry and the traffic was fairly light. I would like to thank-you for taking the time to write such a detailed review and really appreciate it. Hope to see you and your friends one day soon. Best regards Bryan.
Absolutely great tour of the great City of London! Kept the entire family entertained including my 6 year old. Incredible cab.

Great way to see London and get so much information for a wonderful trip. Staff at London Site Seeing Tours were great! They gave us many tips to enhance our trip and went above and beyond to give our family lots of information. Family had a blast and took plenty of photos in great locations. I would highly recommend it for any group. Thanks again to the staff that made the tour a memorable experience.
Hi Edwin. Thank-you for a wonderful review. I am so glad you enjoyed the whole experience. This is a great way to see and feel the vibe of London in an iconic London black taxi with a glass roof for panoramic views. The Christmas Lights this year are looking great. Morris said it was a real pleasure touring you and the family. Wishing you and your family Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best regards Bryan, Morris and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.
Brian gave a great tour. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He added in a legends of rock tour when he found out my sons were Beatles and Rolling Stones fans. We saw all the amazing London light displays and took lots of photos.

We had an absolutely fabulous Christmas Eve with Bryan! He truly made our holiday super special. It was a very informative tour, and we saw all the sights we were hoping to see. Would definitely do it all again!
Hi Helaine. Thank-you for taking the time to write your review. I am so pleased you enjoyed the tour. Christmas Eve was an excellent choice to book this tour. Apart from the crowds we had great weather and very little traffic enabling us to visit more than the average amount of locations. I hope to see you and your friends soon. Merry Xmas and a happy New Year. Best regards Bryan and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.
Bryan was an excellent guide, showing us many London streets with their trademark Christmas lights, along with major businesses like Dior, Chanel, Fortnum and Mason, and the Burlington Arcade.
Hi Bennie. Thank-you for taking the time to write your review. I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. We were able to cover many locations and London is just looking amazing under the Christmas lights. Hope to see you and your friends soon. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Bryan and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.
With Bryan and his company, you will end up getting way more than what you paid for. Our purpose for booking this tour was originally to see the Christmas lights, but Bryan took the time to find out what may also interest us: history, architecture, rock and roll, fun facts, etc. His knowledge and experience of London are very impressive. He knows the city roads like the back of his hand, and while other vehicles were sitting in traffic, Bryan was whizzing around the side streets, and he knew exactly where he could find parking. Not a minute was wasted, and we saw what we wanted to see, with plenty of time left over for other points of interest that we never even knew existed, or thought time would allow. It was a pleasure doing the tour with Bryan, he is informative, personable and tops it all with a great sense of humour. We would also like to thank his wife, Gill, for getting us to the airport safely and on time. She is a delightful lady! What a wonderful couple! We cannot recommend Bryan and his company enough. Everything they did was above and beyond our expectations. Rest assured that when we come back to London, we will be looking you up!
Hi Tiffany. Thank-you for your wonderful detailed review. Gill and I are so glad you enjoyed the whole experience. We look forward to seeing you and your friends soon. Best regards Bryan, Gill and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.
Wow it was amazing! Bryan was an amazing tour guide, showed us every single location we wanted to see. From Fortnum to Covent gardens to regent and Carnaby st! Could not possibly recommend this more. the evening flowed brilliantly and Bryan was filled with interesting facts not only regarding the Christmas lights but any place we visited. He showed us all the hidden spots (some Londoners don't even know)! Thank you for the experience, From Cooper and family.
Hi Cooper. Thank-you for an amazing review and I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. It was great to meet Charlie and his family and to see both Scott and you again. Cannot believe 3 years have gone by since I last saw you. It was great recreating the Huntsman picture again and it was my pleasure showing you as much as I could. I wish you well with your studies and hope to see you and your friends and family one day soon. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Best regards Bryan.
