Geo was responsive and I always appreciate that! He helped us set up exactly what we wanted. Charlotte was our guide and she was amazing as well! She made sure our day was spent as we wished. We chose where we went and how long we stayed. I loved that she asked what type of information we wanted wanted to hear - history, facts, fun stories - at each location. It was just a fantastic day!!
Seamless experience. Mark G. Was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide.
Gio, the owner, made planning and booking so easy. Monica, our tour guide, was wonderful—she guided us to all the highlights, shared great insights, and helped capture photos of our family. We included Tower of London in our 5 hour private tour. Shorof was an excellent driver and kept everything seamless. We would definitely book again. It was a fantastic experience.
Monica, from Private London Tours gave us an 8 hour walking tour of London. We saw the Tower of London and learned the amazing history of that. We met a Beefeater, saw the crown jewels, toured the complex . We saw the Tower Bridge and the unimpressive London Bridge :). We had a lovely lunch in an out of the way restaurant that Monica found for us. Then we went into Westminister Abby, walked through Parliment, and saw Big Ben before walking through the gardens to see Buckingham Palace. It was a FANTASTIC day and compared to other tours I looked at and used -this was a GREAT deal. I highly recommend this tour and Monica
Private London Tours was an exceptional way to get a comprehensive tour of the "must see" sites in London, led by a charming and knowledgeable tour guide, and coordinated by Gio to our specifications. They are totally worth the money if you are interested in a bespoke introduction to London and its many attractions, especially in a short amount of time.
We had an exceptional experience with the private tours in London arranged by Private Tours London. Gio, the company director, was fantastic to work with—very responsive and accommodating. He went out of his way to customize our tour, including landmarks that weren’t initially on the itinerary, and his suggestions truly enhanced our overall experience. Thanks to his expertise, we managed to see everything we wanted in just a day and a half. Our guides, Mark and Janice, were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. They carefully managed the pace of the tour to ensure we were comfortable and made sure we stayed on schedule to visit all the main attractions. It was a great experience from start to finish. We highly recommend Private Tours London for anyone wanting a personalized, well-organized, and memorable sightseeing experience in London!
This tour was amazing. Paul was our guide and he kept us all interested and engaged. We did the walking tour and it was quite a hot day but Paul was responsive to our needs. He is very familiar with London, taking us on the tube or a boat whichever was best, to get to different destinations. We had the tours of Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London, as well as seeing the Changing of the Guard. Paul was great. He not only knew all the history but added many anecdotes making the tour very enjoyable
We did 3 tours while in London and they were Cotswold/Bath, Stonehenge/Windsor Castle and London. We had he same tour guide all three days- Mark - and I cant rave enough about his knowledge and an absolute pleasure to be with. Our driver all three days was Sharoff who was also outstanding. Mark's knowledge was amazing and made each and every day so enjoyable. Wee can't recommend enough the value and fun all there of our tours. When we come back we will again be using this tour company an hopefully Mark!
Our recent tour was truly memorable, even though it was a bit exhausting given our age :). We thoroughly enjoyed exploring some of London’s most iconic landmarks, including Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace and the House of Parliament. Our guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating insights about the city that enriched our experience. We left with a deeper appreciation for London and its rich history!
We just returned from Easter break in London and Paris. We used a private tour guide 3 days and it was fabulous (for the 4 of us, kids age 10 & 12, husband and I). Gio was fabulous customizing our days. I love private tours and have found that they make our trips so much more enjoyable and we learn and see so much more. I love to wander some, but I also want to see the highlights. If you figure the cost of flights, hotels, and frustration and time lost trying to find your way around in an unfamiliar place, it is 1000% worth it to me. Also kept my kids engaged and doesn’t cost much more than 4 people on Viator tours. He customized 1) Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and a stop in Richmond (so I could see Ted Lasso area and store), 2) walking tour of London including Tower of London, St Paul Cathedral, Churchill War rooms, 3) Paris walking tour including Notre Dame, Louvre, Montmartre. For anyone who’s been there, London and Paris have so much to see so you really have to pick and choose your priorities. I think with a tour guide we easily see 1.5-2x what we would on our own. Also no worries about booking tickets at a particular time and you weave through the crowds because the local you are with knows where they are going!! Also tips like, “go to the right on the moving walkway in the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London so you can see the huge diamond and look for the Sword of State among the 10 other swords- it’s the most important piece”. Just my two cents. 🇫🇷❤️🇬🇧❤️
