Our party of six had a great time. We just loved our Tour Guide, Danny. He was personable, kind, and hospitable, and we learned so much from him as we progressed through the day. He was so knowledgeable. My family consisted of four adults between 26 and 32, and my husband and I, who are in our early sixties. We were all very comfortable and bonded with Danny very quickly. We enjoyed all the sights, and Danny helped us take some excellent pictures. We would go on more tours with him anytime.

We only had a few days in UK and wanted to see the sites of London before traveling to the Cotswald. This tour was just great. With six people in our group we wnated to see the most we could. Our driver was very knoledgable friendly and accomidating. even with the London traffic he knew the best wy to get to all the sites. He picked us up at our hotel on time and took the time to ensure we could stop, get out to take pictures or spend the time we wanted at which ever spot we wanted. It was well worth the time and money. What a woulderful time we had. The cab was comfortable for all six of us eventhough we are large people. (All of us are over six fot tall) (Same price for six as for two - a great deal) Thanks.

We had a great experience with Sean as our driver and guide. He picked us up at our hotel very promptly at the time specified. He also took us to a lot of places off of the beaten path since he knew we had already visited most of the common sites (Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Tower Bridge, etc.). Sean was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great chat the whole time we were under his care. He asked a lot of questions along the way, so that he is very tuned into the conversation of what interests we had about London, such as the Beatles and our interest in them. He had a vast knowledge of all things London such as history, people, places. He wanted to make sure that we got a good taste of the city from his eyes. At no time did we feel rushed or were following some sort of preplanned agenda. Time just flew by naturally. This was well worth the investment of time. We would love to go back in a heartbeat and just sit in his cab and listen to the stories.

What a wonderful day with Stuart! He was so kind and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend him. We learned so much about the history of the city and were able to see much more than we expected. Thank you Stuart for a memorable day!

Colleen_S

Our tour guide Paul checked in with is the day before and was on time. He was extremely knowledgeable and took everywhere we asked him and to other sites we didn't even know about. Paul was a wonderful guide.

Michelle_D

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING EXPERIENCE!! Ryan our driver was the absolute best! He was a local who knew all the in’s & outs of London! He knew all the best stops to take us to get great photo opportunities of the sights! He knew so much history of the city. Was so friendly and funny! Took his time with us! We had a quick day trip to London from Paris and Ryan made it the best day trip we could have ever asked for! Thank You Ryan! Bless you and your family!

Ollie made the city come to life! His knowledge, personality and humor made the experience phenomenal. We started off with the changing of the guard and Ollie knew all the best tips and tricks to see from all the best vantage points. Westminster Abby , the Tower of London and bridge were just a few of the highlights!

Gregory_C

Our tour was amazing and very educational. We had Craig as a tour guy. He was very patient and shared a lot of information. He is also a great photographer. We really enjoyed his company. Also, it was great to have a private tour guide. We didn’t have to fight crowds to be able to hear our tour guide.

danielsilvaw

Simply the BEST Tour. Our guide Stella was an expert historian and amazing driver. She is comprehensive, professional and relaxing and fun. Our kids loved Stella. Great history, site seeing and understanding of how London is laid out. Amazing pictures taken and many memories. We will be back.
