LITERALLY THE BEST PART OF OUR WEEK IN LONDON. OMG, worth every penny. Paul is incredible! He picked us up at our rented apartment and off we went. We mentioned that we like music and the Beatles and were hoping to get to Abbey Road. Well, we sure got there and he included a few extra things along the way that we were just thrilled about. (Jimmy Page & Freddy Mercury homes) We even got a few minutes to shop in the Abbey Road Store! We literally snuck into spots all over London and got amazing pictures (Christmas Cards - check!) Just let Paul know what you are interested in (Harry Potter, Historical Places, Rock and Roll, etc.) at the very start of your tour and he will do his best to accommodate you-don't be crazy :-) There is time to stop for lunch but we opted to get a sandwich at Pret and eat it in the cab so we could just keep moving and seeing as much as possible. The access and speed at which you get to see literally all the important highlights of London is priceless. Not to mention the history, pop culture and just fantastic conversation you will enjoy throughout the day. Paul dropped us off back at our apartment but you can be dropped off wherever you want, just let him know in advance of your intentions. I left a black sweater in the cab and Paul was kind enough to drop it off the next day. (TY SO MUCH :-) Please tip your drivers and take this tour, 1000% worth it!

A perfect way to see London. Paul brings the history to life with his incredible knowledge and storytelling technique. I was going to book the open top bus tour but after doing this there is no need. Personal, professional, immaculate vehicle and fun.

Our family of 4 including 2 teens booked this tour for our spring break. It was the best thing we did on our London vacation. Paul has a way of engaging you that you are literally wanting more and more. The cab is clean and so beautiful. We felt like royalty. I have been on private tours all over and this was special. Everywhere we visited, he explained what we were looking at in a fun and entertaining manner, but we also learned so much. From start to finish, Paul’s courteous and professional approach shone through and I will be recommending him to everyone I know that is coming to this great city. Thank you again for making a day in our holiday so special. Best wishes, The Arnside family

Our taxi sightseeing tour was amazing! This tour is so convenient with hotel pickup. Our driver, Keith, artived promptly on time, was extremely knowledgeable about the city, and took us to many places that we would have never found on our own in London. The taxi was impeccably clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend this tour!

What a fantastic day we had with Paul touring and exploring London! This is the perfect way to see London in a day. The day was spectacular due to Paul’s attention to detail and effortless ability to guide us about the city from one amazing location to the next! He tailored the day to ensure we visited all of the historic sites we hoped to see. My family and I highly recommend the tour and Paul as your guide!

This was such an incredible trip! This was our first time in London and Paul Williams was absolutely amazing. He was so kind and was very informative. Each place we went to had an amazing story and Paul was so great at explaining all of it. Would absolutely recommend to anyone going to London to book this experience with Paul.

Paul was an excellent tour guide showing us both all the traditional sites as well as some off the beaten track gems. He was extremely knowledgeable and could not have been nicer.
