Great experience in London.in a short stay - 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.

Informative and entertaining tour of London - Raf was the absolute best guide! His energy and enthusiasm for the entire 3.5hrs was well received. Quite the storyteller too.

Wonderful tour! - 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!!

Wonderful tour of London - We had an amazing tour with our guide, Tom. He was so energetic, informed and entertaining. He gave us a great overview of London, and we were able to see all the major sights (including a glimpse of King Charles as his motorcade returned to Buckingham Palace).
We had a very rainy morning in London, but it did not dampen our tour at all, Tom also kindly took lots of pictures of our family. For a true insider’s view of London, this tour is a winner. I would highly recommend it!

London Tour - Shiv was a fantastic tour guide. He was extremely informed, enthusiastic, and patient in allowing time for photos as we moved from one location to the next. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting London and seeking to get a crash course in history.

The bird’s eye view from Delia - We only had 5 hours to spend in London before we had to return to Heathrow for our next flight. We had arrived after a redeye from the States so we were a bit tired but wanted to see as much of London as we could. Delia was wonderful and provided exactly the experience we wanted. She was so knowledgeable about the city and took us to as many of the key sights as possible in our allotted time. We left London knowing there was much more to see and do but we got a great overview! We highly recommend Delia!

Amazing Day! - We had an amazing day touring London with Ana! She showed us all the sites, took us to the places with the best views, and showed us how to navigate the city using the Underground Tube. It was a fabulous way to see the best of London in a day.

Customized itinerary was great, but had to insist on different modes of transport than our guide initially wanted - Our guide did a good job of customizing this tour to our requests, though we had to be pretty explicit about transportation between sites (this is typically a walking tour with a suggested itinerary that most people follow -- our guide said this was the first time he'd had someone customize the tour, though this is exactly how the tour is presented) -- our itinerary necessitated using some rideshares (taxis/Ubers) in order to cover everything we wanted to see, but our guide was definitely more in favor of trying to walk (despite too much ground to cover this way) or taking the underground 9which was crowded and stressful for my kids)...in the end it all worked out, but just be prepared to be assertive about what you want/don't want this tour to be. Our guide did a fine job overall and was a nice guy and accommodating in the end and we have a great time seeing what we really wanted most to see.

Good concept, poor execution. - The tour was rushed, and it was more like a walk-about just naming places as we speed by. We “saw” lots of sites, but didn’t enter or focus on anything. My wife requested the guide to slow down a number of times.
