Barry was a wealth of knowledge. He was very congenital and very adaptable to our special requests. Highly recommended
Many thanks for your review Ronald
We had the absolute pleasure of touring London in June (2025) with Steve as our guide, and he made our trip truly unforgettable. From the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground to Beatles history and so many hidden gems we would have never discovered on our own, Steve brought each place to life with his knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling. He struck the perfect balance between sharing fascinating details and keeping the experience fun, lighthearted, and engaging for us. His passion for London’s history and culture really shone through, and he tailored the tour beautifully to our interests. We’re extremely sorry for the delay in leaving this feedback, but we couldn’t let our trip pass without acknowledging what a fantastic and caring guide Steve was. If you’re looking for someone who can show you both the famous landmarks and the special corners of London that most visitors miss, Steve is the person to go with. Highly recommended! - Nishant
Ray did an excellent job showing us London on a long layover at Heathrow. We were not sure what to expect, but Ray picked us up on time and immediately put us at ease. Some in our group had been to London before, but had never seen many of London's neighborhoods, outdoor markets, parks, and celebrity homes. We had perfect weather for our time in Kensington Gardens and was able to see many of the famous sites. Ray topped off our tour with a stop for London’s famous fish and chips and kabobs on our way back to the airport with plenty of time to make our connecting flight. We had a lovely time touring London!
Absolutely the best thing we did. First time in Lo.don, only one day (on way to Danube River cruise). Paul, our guide and driver, had unlimited knowledge owledge of London. Picked us up at airport, dropped off our luggage at the hotel, and then we were off for a 4-5 tour. Time went by so fast.
