Tom was amazing!! He knows the city, the history- EVERYTHING - inside and out! Tom is engaging and fun! He made that first day out in London easy and enjoyable to both myself and my young boys (twin 9 year olds)! I’ve been to London many times- but he showed us hidden treasures I never even knew about- and again the History- he brought it life!! I’ve traveled all over the world - and have had the pleasure of enjoying many different tour guides- Tom is ABSOLUTELY one of THE BEST I’ve ever toured with! His personality, knowledge, patience, humor … and so much more- he’s the BEST! Can’t recommend high enough!!

Ana Maria carefully picked out some things I would enjoy in London, even with very little prior knowledge about me (which was my fault, I didn't take as much time to acquaint myself with her before my tour!). She even helped me figure out the London Tube system, which was extremely confusing as an American. Even more, Ana Maria got me some awesome pics around London, and took me to all these hidden gems! I absolutely loved our time together, and I completely recommend her for any tourist in London!

Astrid told us a bit of London history and about the architecture along the way. And a few surprises! We enjoyed our day with Astrid!

The most exciting aspect of the tour was visiting historical places we had asked for, namely Roman, medieval and knights templars' locations. Naomi did a great job giving us insightful details about our destinations, and also about every interesting location along the way.
