Alan was a perfect guide. Kept the tour interesting while not overwhelming us with too much or rushing through spots of interest. He tailored the historical stops to meet our interests. This pub stop was a nice chance to relax and just chat. Highly recommend this tour!

Tom was amazing!! He knows the city, the history- EVERYTHING - inside and out! Tom is engaging and fun! He made that first day out in London easy and enjoyable to both myself and my young boys (twin 9 year olds)! I’ve been to London many times- but he showed us hidden treasures I never even knew about- and again the History- he brought it life!! I’ve traveled all over the world - and have had the pleasure of enjoying many different tour guides- Tom is ABSOLUTELY one of THE BEST I’ve ever toured with! His personality, knowledge, patience, humor … and so much more- he’s the BEST! Can’t recommend high enough!!

Ana Maria carefully picked out some things I would enjoy in London, even with very little prior knowledge about me (which was my fault, I didn't take as much time to acquaint myself with her before my tour!). She even helped me figure out the London Tube system, which was extremely confusing as an American. Even more, Ana Maria got me some awesome pics around London, and took me to all these hidden gems! I absolutely loved our time together, and I completely recommend her for any tourist in London!
