Latest reviews from our guests

We had an incredible experience in London with our tour guide, Alan. He was exceptionally knowledgeable—not just about the city itself, but also about a wide range of topics including WWII, the music industry, literature, and general history. His insights truly brought the city to life in a way that made every stop meaningful and memorable. What made the tour even more special was Alan’s warm and friendly demeanor. It felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the day with a local friend. Highly recommended!

Harry Markham was exceptional! I've traveled to many countries and dealt with different types of guides. Hands-down, Harry more than exceeded my expectations, both in knowledge of the history and customs of areas visited (coupled with his vibrant personality) made it so memorable. His tour was one of the best parts of my vacation. Sincerely, Josh Kelliher

Alan was amazing. His knowledge of London was outstanding. He was very personable, telling us little side stories, and interesting facts. He tailored our tour to the places we were interested in seeing. We were a group of 7, including two seniors who moved slowly. He was patient, and went at our pace. I would highly recommend this tour, and ask for Alan!
