Excellent experience - We had an amazing time. Ollie our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She knew many tricks about the best spots to view the sites and events and the best places to take photos. She also knew secret ways to get around the crowds! On our way between sites we heard all about London, got to learn some tips about speaking British English, and shared wonderful family stories. She also customized the tour to our requests. We had so much fun and saw so many things it was hard to believe it when the tour was over.

Ollie Is An Excellent & Fun Guide - Ollie did a great job of zeroing in on what we would like to see in London vs coming with a specific itinerary. She’s a lot of fun & does a great job of making sure her guests are enjoying the city.

Fantastic Overview of London in 5 hours. - We spent the afternoon with Ollie. Not only was she amazing at what she does, but we thought she had VIP parking everywhere we went. We felt like celebrities whenever we stepped out of the car in the middle of the activities of London. Every memorable stop that you’ve hoped to see when visiting London will be covered. The tour is comprised of a combination of SUV and short walking tours.
I highly recommend this tour if you want to see the very best of London.

Great guided day trip! - My husband and I are on our first trip to London and had an outstanding day seeing the city with Ollie. She ensured we had the opportunity to experience all the sights and enjoy a delicious fish and chips lunch. Today was a very busy day in London so driving was a bit of a challenge. We got to view the royal guard practicing for the kings birthday celebration, circumnavigate large crowds preparing to watch the champions league soccer finals, and see all the sights we hoped to see in a single day while avoiding the numerous road closures and detours. Ollie is knowledgeable, personable and we would highly recommend taking her tour.

See London like a local … friendly and fun Ollie - Our tour guide Ollie was excellent. She made us feel like family while showing us London. She was very informative and we have to go back and see more. Her car was comfortable and clean . I would definitely ask for her if you want a tour of London.
See you next time Ollie!

Great day despite London Tour closing streets - Great driving tour of London with Ollie. There were four of us including active 74 yo, 14 and 9 year olds. Ollie was full of information and had a great personality. Our favorite parts may have been the markets and walking around the palace and St James Park. The lunch at the end was great at a tavern overlooking the Tower of London. Delicious beef madras! We did more walking on the tour than normal due to the all city bike tour. Would probably have been helpful if Viator had matched tour availability with city’s events as it definitely made it harder for Ollie to show us as much as she wanted to!
