My reviews

We had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.

I must say my guide Tom was amazing start to finish. I enjoyed his energy and openness to help me capture the key moments how I wanted to. He was very knowledgeable and was able to do it while being on the move and not stop for too long as you see in those large group tours that limits the area and sites your able to see. From markets, alleys, historical sites, Tom made my first trip every to the UK better than expected. So much that I plan to bring my kids back so they can experience it as well. Thank you Tom for the conversations and just being you and allowing me me to be me!.
