Great tour! Highly recommend! - We had a layover in London and wanted a quick tour - it was perfect! We saw all the highlights, were able to get out and take pictures at a few places. Stuart was terrific and we’d highly recommend his tour!! Thank you Stuart! He ever took us back to the airport for an extra charge.

Quick, Flexible. Worked out perfectly! - Very efficient group of people. The day before, Michael, our assigned guide, texted to make contact. Suggested why we might want to consider an earlier start than 10am in order to catch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. I responded that we liked the idea but were concerned about whether our 6:30am arrival at LHR would allow us time to get to the hotel. Michael replied that with our flight number, he’d monitor our flight and be flexible. Turned out our fight from IAD was delayed six hours, thus not arriving even in time to meet Michael at 10am. When we landed at 11:30am, Michael had already alerted the BCTour staff, who in turn texted us, asking if we wanted to reschedule later in the day. Because we only had one day in London, that was a quick yes. In short order, they called upon Danny, who was not planning to work that day, and set us up for a late afternoon tour. Danny and the tour were first rate and well worth it. It was my wife’s first visit to London. She’s an avid photographer and managed, with Danny’s guidance, to hit a totally satisfying number of London’s iconic tourist venues. It’s admittedly a drive by overload. But fabulous as an introduction. My wife insists she now knows what she’d like to see in depth on a subsequent visit. So I’d recommend the tour to someone staying for a week or two to understand all that’s available and where your interests lie. But most of all, cudos to the BCTours people for making it happen for us.

Fantastic Tour with the Best Guide Gary! - Our guide Gary was fantastic! We were driven around and shown landmarks and given info but also made lots of stops at predetermined locations. There was a perfect amount of driving and stops - at no point were we tired of driving. Gary was the special ingredient in this tour! His whit and sense of humour gave us the best experience possible.

London tour - Michael was so great. We had so much fun. It wasn’t like regular tours. He took us to places where movies were set and also showed us all around London and took us to lunch. He was super funny and entertaining. Best tour experience I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend.

Unique to you tour - Michael is a fantastic guide! My husband and I have been to London before and toured the city. This was our daughter (4 years old) first time, though. Michael curated a lovely itinerary on the spot to show us places off the beaten path and also was able to keep our little one engaged. We learned about unique history points and also had lovely coffee and snack breaks along the way. Extremely knowledgeable staff that truly offers a one of a kind tour based on your specific wants and needs.

London Taxi Tour - It was a success to hire this tour. Michael is a great Pro, contacted us to plan the tour earlier and it was a good idea to follow his advice. We found it a great experience. With the language we have understood each other quite well, Michael understands Spanish quite well and although he spoke us in English, he has tried very hard to get us to understand him. We have visited very interesting sites. When we return to London we will repeat for sure! Thanks, Michael.

Most enjoyable experience. - Yesterday we had a most amazing cab tour of London with a very knowledgeable guide. His name was Gary, he was patient, full of fantastic accounts of history and a genuinely nice bloke. He took his time with everything explaining events that happen that we wouldn’t know about. Good on you Gary you get a huge tick from me.
