David was just lovely!! Extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited. He shared the history and traditions of various sites. How London came to be London. Some tidbits about how the royals do things. As a bonus, he taught us how to properly navigate the tube so we can get around better. All in all, a great day!!

Loved our customized private tour with our new British friend David. He was so informative and took us to spots we never would have known to explore. We went all over and he taught us how to use the Underground in order to get from place to place fast. He was very personable and was just a pleasure to spend half our day with. He dropped us off where we wanted to finish in order to explore on our own and planned the day accordingly. It was such a great experience. I highly recommend this company to use for a personalized tour.

David was very personable and quickly change our route when he discovered my father worked with Eisenhower's here in London and took us to the park,old US embassy and Eisenhower's headqarters. We greatly enjoyed all of little known facts and "hidden gems" all over the westminster area.
