Our guide, Giuseppe, made our trip to London very special. He tailored the morning to our personal choices, but also threw in a few extra surprises. Little bit of history, little bit of culture and a whole lot of information in a conversational way. Like traveling with a friend!

Wonderful experience walking at a fairly leisurely pace seeing many impressive areas of central London. Our guide, Delia, was very knowledgeable and pleasant.
Trevor was absolutely amazing! My clients had the best time and said he was the most wonderful tour guide they have ever had. He was incredibly thorough, took them exactly where they wanted to go, shared so much interesting information, and answered all of their questions. They couldn’t recommend him more highly! We are so grateful for the wonderful experience he provided.
As a solo traveller, new to the UK this was the perfect experience to get my bearings and understand the history of so many sights. Thank you Delia for showing me some amazing places that I would not have found on my own. Delia was extremely kind, personable and kept me awake and intrigued despite just coming off a long journey flight into the UK. Thank you Delia for your warmth, hope to see you next time!
Ask for Trevor. He was awesome. His knowledge of the city and its history was outstanding. I felt like I was on a tour with my favorite teacher from school.
Bea , our travel guide was the best! It was a warm welcome and very informative introduction to London! She’s very detailed and knowledgeable about all aspects relevant to London…Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful time touring London with Becky! We started the day at 9 am with a ride on the Tube to Westminster, then a walk around that area to see Big Ben and Parliament with stops along the way to describe what we were seeing. We then went to Buckingham Palace for the Changing of the Guard. We took a short restroom break, had refreshments then walked over to the River Thames for a water tour to the Tower of London. We next stopped for fish and chips, followed by a detailed tour of the Tower of London to include the Crown Jewels. Afterward we took the Tube back to central London to visit the Churchill War Rooms, which was very interesting. We had been to Normandy the day prior, so it was very informative to learn the British perspective. At this point it was 6 pm. We parted ways with Becky and Ubered to the train station to travel by Eurostar to return to Paris. We recommend Becky without hesitation. She was born in Wales and lives in London and has a deep knowledge and understanding of the city!!
Superior experience! A must do! Our guide, Becky was absolutely brilliant! My 2 daughters and I were amazed at the way she tailored our walking tour according to our interests. She is extremely knowledgeable about the city and showed us things we would never have seen on our own.
The guide was very friendly and punctual, and we appreciated his kindness throughout the tour. However, we expected more from the overall experience, especially considering the cost. The tour felt more like a walk through the areas than a guided experience, not even the most important ones… There was very little historical context, local insight, or interesting information shared about London. We’ve taken many walking and biking tours in other cities and expected more engagement and knowledge from a private guide. While the guide was pleasant, we did not feel the tour offered good value for the price.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Allan. I intentionally use the word visit instead of tour because that’s truly how it felt… more like spending the day with someone we’d known for years than being guided around by a stranger. From the beginning, Allan made us feel comfortable, safe, and completely at ease. He listened to what we wanted to see and made sure we experienced exactly that, while also sharing so much interesting history and local insight along the way. His knowledge, warmth, and easygoing personality made our time in London feel personal and memorable rather than rushed or scripted. Thank you again, Allan, for making our visit so special. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting London.
Darryl did an excellent job guiding our family around London for the day. He was informative, fun and flexible. Great day!
This was our favorite day during our time in London. Alan was fantastic. He truly tailored the experience to what we wanted to see in London and gave us recommendations for spots to visit while in London. Would highly recommend this immersive tour.
It was beyond my expectations. Trevor was knowledgeable, on time, and worked with me on designing a perfect tour of beautiful London. Trevor made me want to come back, do another tour in the future.
Our tour guide Nigel Homer was excellent! He is so knowledgeable and friendly, made this tour awesome!!
Tom was great! Very informative. Took us to places we didn't even know we needed to see, but certainly did need to see, and we're so glad he did.
Tom was an absolute delight! He clearly loves his job and making the tour both fun and educational. He even helped us plan our tour around bathroom stops! He was also a great photographer to help us capture some memories of our trip. 10/10
Tom was an amazing guide. You can tell he passionate about what he does and he’s a Harry potter fan which was amazing!
a pretty comprehensive tour of the top sights in london, a great way to start your first day. Dilek was a wonderful and informative guide. greatly recommend.
Trevor was so awesome. We booked this as one of our first things done in London and while he was not only a very knowledgeable tour guide, he also gave us so many more recommendations for other things to do and see. I recommend Trevor and booking as early in your trip as possible to take advantage of his wealth of information.
Our tour guide Becky was amazing! We had a great time and she was so helpful with our kids. We would highly recommend
We had a day to try and see some of London and our private tour guide did a great job of working with us and then creating an awesome itinerary. We saw some great sights, learned about the culture and enjoyed good food and drink. Definitely worth your money!
We only had a day trip to England, and only four hours in which the guide did a great job making sure we hit all the main tourist attractions! She was very friendly and attentive
Bea was a wonderful guide! We spent a really pleasant morning walking around a rainy London and she shared so much history and information in a very interesting way. She kindly took photos of me since I was traveling solo and gave me multiple route options to choose from. It was a great experience!
David was a true delightful tour guide. Having been to London several times we were looking for a more personalized tour and he delivered just that. David was a great communicator and planned our morning together extremely well. We really appreciated that he got in touch with us before we even left on our trip and even met us at our hotel to start our tour. It was a wonderful day spent exploring central London. Thank you so much David!!
We had a very nice time with Abraham. He was informative and flexible. Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Not sure where to begin.....Tom was absolutely outstanding!!!! He was very knowledgeable, entertaining and so much fun!!!! My husband and I love to walk and explore cities and Tom blew away our expectations!!!! By the end of the day, we felt like we now have a friend in London!! He shared such fun stories, unique insights and took us places we would have never known about. One of the best, thorough and fun tours we have ever been on!!! I cannot recommend Tom enough!!!
Alan was beyond great. Amidst the tube strike, we got to know central London helped us to navigate greater London later in the week. Alan was a fun guide w many stories and we even enjoyed a pub during our tour.
Tour was great.. and our tour guide Trevor Clarke was exceptional. Walked thru most important places to end at Covent Garden.
My tour guide was Ana Maria. She was wonderful. She planned the day perfectly, so not I was only able to see the things on my list but also much much more. Ana Maria was easy going and a pleasure to spent the day with. Thank you for this great experience.
Darryl was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable but not boring. We were traveling with our 3 daughters (ages 13, 11, 9), our nephew (16) and my mother (70). He never rushed us and was also a phenomenal photographer! He knew all the best places to get perfect angles for views! We even saw the changing of the guard!
Sean Taylor made this an amazing experience. Me and my 15 year old daughter traveled to London together and we had an amazing day with ST. He was very considerate in our plans to accommodate both of our wants. We both felt very comfortable with him right away. I wish I could have him at all of our travel places!
A great way to spend a day getting to know London. Alan tailored our tour to our situation and interests and was an easy going knowledgeable host and guide. We did the tour at the beginning of our visit to London as a great way to get oriented and figure out what else we wanted to do during our stay. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.
Ana Maria was my guide and she was amazing. She really understood what I liked and brought me to many places to experience local culture and iconic sights. She knew all the fun facts and history and I learned so much more than expected. The tour totally took the planning off my hands and I can fully enjoy the experience without figuring out directions. For a first time London visitor, this walking tour gave me a great run down of all the iconic sites and off the beaten path local scene. Highly recommended!
JJ is very knowledgeable about London. He knows where to stop for tasty treats! Very engaging host! We enjoyed our afternoon
This tour was great because we got to cater it to our specific interests. We stopped and had the best pint of Guinness in London at The Devonshire. We had dim sum in ChinaTown. Darryl, our guide, made us feel very comfortable navigating the city and using the underground. He’s a cool guy, and a photographer, so our pics turned out fantastic!
What a great way to stray from the beaten path. I love the vintage clothing I picked up on Brick Lane, and we got a great dinner recommendation!
We just returned from the most incredible trip to London, and hands down, the highlight of our entire visit was our time spent with Tom, our amazing tour guide! Traveling with a mix of family and a close friend, we were a pretty diverse group—but Tom managed to make every single one of us feel engaged, entertained, and completely taken care of from start to finish. From the moment we met him, Tom's energy, knowledge, and passion for London were absolutely infectious. He didn’t just rattle off dates and facts—he brought the city to life with fascinating stories, hidden secrets, and hilarious anecdotes that you won’t find in any guidebook. Whether we were strolling through the historic streets of Westminster, standing in awe outside Buckingham Palace, or navigating the quirky charm of Camden Market, Tom’s commentary made every stop unforgettable. What really stood out was how personal and flexible the tour felt. Tom took the time to get to know us and customized parts of the day to match our interests. He even kept the us entertained with fun trivia and little challenges, while giving deeper insights into London’s rich history and culture. Beyond being incredibly knowledgeable, Tom is just a genuinely kind and incredibly hilarious. He made sure everyone was comfortable, gave us great photo tips (and took some amazing group shots!), and his passion for sharing London truly made the city feel like home. If you’re visiting London and want an unforgettable, personalized, and fun experience, don’t even think twice book a tour with Tom. He’s not just a guide—he’s the reason our London trip was so magical. Thank you, Tom! We'll be talking about this adventure for years to come! Rosanna 🇬🇧❤️
David was just lovely!! Extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He shared the history and traditions of various sites. How London came to be London. Some tidbits about how the royals do things. As a bonus, he taught us how to properly navigate the tube so we can get around better. All in all, a great day!!
Trevor's a walking encyclopedia of information. He kept us engaged the entire time. Gave us facts and anecdotes about people and places. Great quide, anyone that gets him will enjoy their day.
Tom is knowledgeable and very personable. He made sure we saw as much as possible. Will be happy to tour with him again.
We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.
I must say my guide Tom was amazing start to finish. I enjoyed his energy and openness to help me capture the key moments how I wanted to. He was very knowledgeable and was able to do it while being on the move and not stop for too long as you see in those large goup tours that limits the area and sites your able to see. From markets, alleys, historical sites, Tom made my first trip every to the UK 🇬🇧 better than expected. So much that I plan to bring my kids back so they can experience it as well. Thank you Tom for the conversations and just being you and allowing me me to be me!.
It's been sometime since my wife and I had been to London. We wanted to spend our first day revisiting sights with a tour guide to share the rich history and show us the ones not to be missed. Tem, our tour guide, was awesome. Full of stories, historical information and passionate about London. We started in Westminster and we went non/stop for 4.5 hours. We love to walk and put on many miles. You won't be disappointed.
We had Naomi take us on a wonderful tour of London! Traveled the world but never London, and we shared with her in advance other tours already planned, indicating we didn’t want to duplicate the effort, and wanted to see things that would be unique to any tourist. So she completely nailed it! Meeting us at our hotel at 10:00 am at our request, we take the tube and go through streets and see galleries and stores and had coffee and a pastry at a truly local place. Walked through Covent Gardens and 2 bars that were nearby the law school (even the store where you buy your wig to wear to go to Court). We even met 2 people who were studying bee pollination! Toward the end we asked her to leave us near a local pub so we could have a pint. It was past our time with her, and we offered to buy her a pint, and SHE was having so much fun she joined us and we shared photos of her experiences in India and ours in a South African safari earlier this year! I would highly recommend Naomi in a heartbeat if you want to have a truly unique experience in London!!!
Ana Maria was great, very knowledgeable and experienced. The pace was perfect, and the sights were tailored to our preferences
Ana Maria was a great guide -- tailored the tour to our varied interests and was super knowledgeable about so many different aspects of London and its history.
Delia, our guide, moved really easily around London and the underground. In such a short time (@4 hours), she showed us the iconic places in London and some more.
Raf was the absolute best guide! His energy and enthusiasm for the entire 3.5hrs was well received. Quite the storyteller too.
Awesome tour! Our family was only in London for 1 day, and we were worried about missing attractions due to this. Tom took us on the perfect city tour. We saw everything we wanted to see, and more. Tom was great with our 7, 8, and 11 year old kids. Highly recommend!!
Siggi was great, we loved our personalized tour. It’s such a joy to be able to move at your own pace and level of interest. She did a great job answering our questions.
