Brilliant Tour of London with Paul!

Paul is fantastic! He’s the perfect mix of personable, knowledgeable, and fun—bringing the city to life at every stop. Our booking agent gave Paul the wrong pick location but he was unflustered and came right over to pick us up - very professional. Paul even worked in a stop to see the latest Banksy—such a cool highlight! Highly recommend Paul for a warm and memorable London tour.

Best way to see the sights quickly, painlessly and with endless charm!

Paul gave us an outstanding experience that was efficient, filled with incredible photo opportunities and done with the expertise that can only come from someone who really loves what they do and has become a true master at where to go, when and how. This was an unforgettable experience... four hours have never gone by so fast with such memories! Thank you!

Lovely London

Oh my goodness I can not imagine a BETTER way to get the low down on London . The history, sites, views and beauty. Our guide Paul was so professional, so passionate about his country. We were joined by my son’s girlfriend that is from London. She even loved it. She said she learned a lot and saw places she had not been to. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

Operator response

Thank you, Mary. It was a pleasure showing yourself, Ed and Amy all the sights and history this wonderful city has to offer. Kindest regards, Paul Williams

Amazing, fun and efficient way to see London with a great guide.

Our driver and guide, Jim McCaffrey, was awesome! Pleasant, courteous, eager to please and share his boundless knowledge of London. Asked for our wish list of what to see and do, took care of it, and added lots of things and places/suggestions of places we did not know about, but are so thankful he showed us. Also, so good to have our own private photographer for all our pictures! It may seem pricey, but when you start adding up individual taxi rides between places, as well as public transport, it is well worth it, especially if you only have a short time in London. Highly recommend the tour, and ask for Jim McCaffrey, you won't regret it!

Operator response

Thank you for the highest recommendation.

Amazing London tour!

We really enjoyed the tour! The driver was really friendly and explained us so many things we didn’t know about London! My kids really liked it and we also had the chance to visit the oldest hat shop in the world, the one where Wiston Churchill used to go, so interesting for my 10 years old kid! Highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you very much for the fantastic review. Kindest regards, Paul Williams
