David Anthony was an outstanding guide for our London tour. He’s truly a lifelong Londoner and a scholar of the city’s history, which made every stop along the way fascinating. He brought the sites to life for our family and kept things engaging for both adults and kids. What impressed us most was his incredible sense of timing and logistics. For events like the Changing of the Guard, he knew exactly when things would happen and precisely where we should stand—down to the minute—so we could experience everything perfectly without any stress or guesswork. To top it off, he guided us through Harrods at the end of the day, introducing us to some fantastic foods and snacks before finishing with a lovely champagne and snack experience. It was a thoughtful and memorable way to end the tour. David made the entire day seamless, informative, and genuinely fun. Highly recommended.
Dear Phil, It was a pleasure hosting you and I appreciate the comprehensive review. It was a joy to escort you and your Mom around the area. I'm sorry your son was not well enough to join us and wish you all the best for your stay in London. I hope we will meet next time you are in London. Many thanks
Barbara was phenomenal! She knows her history and presents in a fun and unique way. We thoroughly enjoyed our time. The champagne at the end was great and we invited her to stay with us. HIGHLY recommend this tour and Barbara.
Popped in here a couple of times as we were so impressed with it on the first visit. The staff were lovely and friendly. They were very informative and nothing was too much trouble. We opted for the Moet & Chandon nectar champagne imperial rose (designed by Pharrell Williams and it was gorgeous. Will definitely be back when we are in London again
Thank you Jenny we hope to see you again when you are in London
Great champagne bar for a quick business drink inside Harrods. Innovative drinks menu and good snacks. The oysters are very fresh and champagne on ice is a great refreshing drink.
Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable and engaging. He had answers for all of our questions and provided a wealth of information about London. He recommended other trips by the company and encouraged us to try several that he thought we would enjoy and appreciate.
Thank you Stacie we hope to see you again
David was amazing, and super knowledgeable- we did a private tour and it was totally worth it and not “touristy” which was what we hoped.
Thank you so much - I enjoyed meeting you both and hope the dinner at Noble Rot was equally impressive! See you next time.
Very nice! Easy to walk with and knew many facts about Royals and history of London. The walk is very nice, wear comfortable shoes!
We had a spectacular time during our tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable and kind! This was another unforgettable experience which we left feeling super grateful to have met a kind person full of information that was very key to our trip and we also made a new friend!
Thanks Barbara, for leading an informational and enjoyable tour, past Spencer House, Buckingham Palace, and the famed Harrod’s. Wonderful to see up close!
Fabulous and fascinating tour, fun experience and everyone enjoyed themselves. Guide was knowledgable and professional
