Absolutely incredible experience with Delia as our tour guide! She was informative, knowledgeable, and showed us parts of the city we never could’ve discovered on our own. Everything was perfectly timed—relaxed yet full of amazing sights. She was especially thoughtful with the pace, tailoring the tour to suit my 5-year-old daughter. Couldn’t recommend her more!

Delia was knowledgeable, thorough and attentive. Her approach was great. She provided a big picture perspective and then broke our journey into understandable, relatable components. She was also very accommodating, tailoring our time together to meet my needs. I would definitely seek her out on a return trip.

Darija is very knowledgeable of the areas we went to. She was very sweet, pleasant, good taste where she was a great help when i shopped for formal shirts i don't think could have done it alone, she immediately picked up my taste. She had interesting topics to talk about throughout the time we had together, the interesting part is that we both discovered the major sites together for the first time like Westminster Abby and ST. Paul's Cathedral where we shared the first time experience.
