Peter picked us up from our hotel promptly at the meeting time and took us to Hampton Court first. We had chosen the pre purchase ticket option and it was very efficient and easy - Peter told us about the history on the way, pointed out where to start and set us on our way. After we were finished at Hampton Court, we headed to Windsor Castle. Again, Peter shared the history while we drove, took us into the castle to the point where he was allowed and then set us on our way. The one-on-one private tour is a great option and exactly what we were looking for - a personalized experience that takes all of the guess work out of traveling and visiting highlights close to London.

This is our 4th time we have used a private tour guide in our travels abroad. All have been great but we must say this tour with Peter was the best experience we ever had! He was so personable it was delightful spending the day with him! We felt we made a friend! However his historical knowledge of Hampton Court, Windsor Castle and British history in general was amazing and he made the entire day remarkable! There was not a question he could not answer. He is exceptional in every way! I’m only sorry we could only express our satisfaction with this experience by only 5 stars! Peter is heads above 5 stars, more like 50 stars! He far exceeded our expectations! Much appreciation to such a fine and knowledgeable gentleman! Thank you!

Due to flight cancellations by AA we had to reschedule our tour, which was not easy, I’m sure, but David’s team handled it marvelously. Our blue badge guide, Oliver was superb in all the history and details that he included. He made it easy for us to fit in as much or as little as we wanted. Our driver, Ramon was very accommodating, as well, as we had to be dropped off at two different spots when the tour was over. All things considered, this tour was our very favorite part of our time in London and I highly recommend splurging on this!

David was informative and delightful as he drove us through the city to our destinations in luxury. He personally guided us at Hampton Court (allowed) with historical but never dull commentary. He took us as far into Windsor as he was allowed while pointing out directions and exit points to maximize our time inside. Weather and traffic were not our friends but David was and we highly recommend his services.

Excellent. It is not inexpensive to tour both castles in one day, but well worth it when you are short on time. Tour operator is very knowledgable, respectful, organized and prepares you in advance to better appreciate each castle.

We took the trip to Windsor and Hampton Court. It was a 5 star experience.David the owner and tour guide for Bespoke England Tours, was so professional, organized and warm. He was extremely accommodating always checking in to make sure we were happy and comfortable throughout the tour. I am a professor and I could not help but notice that David is such a great teacher. He totally knows the history of the sites and explained everything in such an interesting and enthusiastic manner. We plan on booking all future tours outside of London with David. We had a disappointing tour with a different company in London that was a lot more expensive. I wish I had booked with David. I will be recommending David’s company to anyone I know traveling to the London area!

What a great day! We have mobility problems, and David went out of his way to adapt the tour to meet our needs. He is extremely warm, kind and knowledgeable and we look forward to having him as a tour guide again.

Just getting back from 3 weeks in Europe and finally had a moment to leave this review. Our preference on vacation is for private tours versus buses full of people. David provided that and more. He was amazing! He even took my call (at night) to make sure we were all set. David was friendly, accommodating and attentive. We appreciated his insight throughout and would highly recommend any of his tours. He was sensitive to the fact that we were traveling with first-timers, my in-laws, and adjusted our pace and tour accordingly. Our day was well-planned, and this enabled us to enjoy our time and avoid as much of the crowds as possible. We have already referred his services to other people and will certainly call him when we return. See you next time!! Thanks for a memorable experience.

We literally just finished our last tour with Bespoke England Tours and couldn't wait to leave a review. We spent three full days with David Garcia from Bespoke England Tours on our trip to London, England. We opted to book private tours instead of the crowded coach tours that are more common. We were so lucky to be connected with David and Bespoke England Tours! From the first moment we met him, I knew we would get along brilliantly. David arrived in a bespoke Mercedes van with plenty of room for us and our family. He was dressed impeccably and met us with an ear to ear smile. Our first tour was to Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. David was incredibly knowledgable about both locations and provided a personalized tour of both castles. He answered all of our questions, pointed out things that he knew were of interest to us, and allowed us to customize the tour as we went. After our tour, David drove us back to our accommodation and answered all of our questions about England, their culture, customs, policies, and even politics. Our second tour the next day with David was to Dover and Leeds Castle. Again, he provided a truly bespoke tour and demonstrate his deep knowledge of his country, and these two iconic locations. He was a delight to be with and kind of became part of the family. We felt at home with him leading our family through each of these fascinating destinations. Our third and final tour with David was a full day of Harry Potter. David took us to Oxford University and provided a remarkable walking tour of the expansive campus, the buildings, and tied it all in with connections to the movie. After Oxford, David took us over to the Warner Brothers soundstage where we spent three hours inside exploring all of the behind the scenes, sets, props, and decorations. If you are in the market for a private tour in England, David Garcia and Bespoke England Tours will not disappoint. Don't bother with coach tours. Don't stress yourself with renting a car and driving around. Tour this beautiful country and all of the wonderful attractions here with a friendly smile and a truly professional personal guide. David's experience and professionalism were so impressive to us that less than 2 hours after getting home from our last tour, I needed to share this review. Thank you David and Bespoke England Tours for making our vacation truly memorable and as informative as it was enjoyable.
