Latest reviews from our guests

No hay que irse de Londres sin visitar el barrio chino. Y si además, comes allí, mejor todavía. Nosotras lo hicimos en un restaurante coreano, y nos gustó mucho. You should not leave London without visiting Chinatown. And if you also eat there, even better. We did it in a Korean restaurant, and we liked it a lot.

My sons and I had a wonderful tour of London with our guide David. We were delayed arriving at our hotel and he adjusted his time to allow us to check in before setting off. He was so knowledgeable and kind. He showed us some beautiful places off the beaten path along with our typical first time must see in London. His knowledge of history was just what we wanted! Thanks for a great tour! I would definitely recommend this tour and guide.

Delia our tour guide was excellent. She did a great job navigating through London on a day where most streets were closed due to cycling event. She took us through Southwark, South bank and Westminster neighborhoods. We were able to get a flavor of the local culture/art, ate at a traditional Pub and still were able to see the landmarks (House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace) Great day.
