Reviews of Our London Experiences

We saw sights in London that were away from the typical sightseeing tour which was what we had requested.

Ana Maria is the most amazing tour guide, she is very knowledgeable and understands the city of London very well. She was very flexible with us on our meeting time and show us everything that we really wanted to see. She taught us how to use the tube system , how to pay and getting on off the train, which ended up being very helpful. Our main focus was to see all the beautiful Christmas lights in all the neighborhoods of London, she did a fantastic job, making sure that we got them all in. She made some great suggestions of other attractions and places to see on the rest of our trip which we used her advice many times. Thank you for a wonderful experience we would highly recommend her.

We had a wonderful time with ST touring the lights of London. Walking the side streets and seeing the special Christmas lights of London was a great way to spend some time with the family before dinner.

She was great at answering all of our questions, took us to parts of London we wouldn’t have found ourselves. She adjusted the tour route when we asked additional questions.

She took us all over to see London dressed up for Christmas... we learned about the history of many areas and places. It was, indeed, a wonderful evening excursion tailored to our interests. Perfect for us!
