Fantastic taxi tour with 9 and 11 year old boys.
Great to know how you enjoyed the tour. Your boys were good 🤩 fun Best wishes 🇬🇧🇺🇸
A brilliant way to see all the highlights and Barry just makes it so much more fun. Would highly recommend!!
Hi Mark Great to meet you and your Aussie family mate!! 🇦🇺 So glad you enjoyed our tour and the rain didn’t affect us too badly! Best wishes BarryToursuk
Encyclopedic knowledge of London streets, yes, even the ones that seem to exist only to confuse GPS. Organized, punctual, and genuinely great company. If black cab drivers were an Olympic sport, this man would be on the podium. Book Barry, tip him well!
Hi Grace Thankyou for the great review. Come back soon! Barry
Barry did a customized 8 hour tour for me and my American friends that were visiting. I’m a repeat customer of Barry because extremely knowledgeable about EVERYTHING London and such a great guy to travel around with. Would highly recommend!
Hi Claire Always a pleasure to tour with you and now your friends too. Next time you visit I will help bespoke an English Countryside tour for you. See you soon Barry BarryToursUk
The true London experience! Would highly recommend. We hired Barry to show us London’s highlights, and we had such a fantastic day (despite the weather). Booking was easy and responses quick - he even gave recommendations on restaurants/hotels. Barry was extremely knowledgable, and showed us lots of ‘secret’ locations as well as the more popular places - he’s also a very funny character and has great energy. Thanks Barry - the Bath and Stonehenge tour is next on our list!
Many thanks for the kind words Matthew. So glad you and your future bride enjoyed the tour!! Look forward to seeing you again for an out of town tour and hope the weather is a bit better too!
This tour can’t be beat! Barry was incredibly good as a tour guide. Supremely knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to all the main sights and accommodated the few minor changes we requested. Everyone in our group loved it.
We had the absolute pleasure of touring with Barry, and it was one of the highlights of our trip! Our group of six included two energetic children and a family member with limited mobility, and Barry went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable, included, and engaged. Barry is a true local and a wealth of knowledge—his storytelling and historical insights brought every stop to life. He added a personal touch to the tour that made it feel intimate and authentic. You can tell he loves what he does, and it shows in every detail. We did Barry’s tour on the last day of our stay, but I highly recommend booking it early in your trip—you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation of the area and some great local tips. Thanks to Barry, we left with cherished memories and fantastic photos. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, informative, and fun tour, Barry is your guy!
Hey thanks for an amazing review. I can remember juggling all tastes and kept everyone interested. London has everything and you added to it!
Barry is an excellent tour guide. He is knowledgeable, experienced & helpful. As a native born Londoner he knew how to guide us out of towners.
Thanks 🙏 Always enjoy showing off my City
We were hoping for a “real”Londoner. Barry is definitely that. He does a fantastic job of showing you all the historical sites in the heart of London. He pointed out his favorite pubs, as well as the best spots to get a good photo. We laughed and had a really good time.
Great you enjoyed the tour I try and make it personal with 57 years of London living
We had a great tour with Barry . He picked us up from our friends house about an hour away from London , then took us all around London . He knew the places to go , he pointed out different interesting sites and also gave us historical facts . He has great knowledge and we would highly recommend him.
