Fausta was great and knowledgeable about London. Took us where we needed to go in a right timing. We had a short layover in London. We highly recommend Fausta. Thank you.

I booked this tour for my 17 year old son who had a long layover at Heathrow airport after finishing a summer class at Oxford. This was his first solo trip to the UK and we were a little concerned about his safety in a big city like London. Becky was his tour guide, and it really was the best thing that could have happened to him. He had a wonderful experience and really enjoyed Becky's company and knowledge. She really took care of him and even accompanied him back to the airport and made sure he made his flight back to South America. We are very grateful for the service of this company but especially with Becky!

Watching the changing of the guard and chiming of Big Ben were highlights of our tour. We were also able to see some tailored sites that we requested.
