Reviews of Our London Experiences

Tony was a fantastic guide. Mom and I were exhausted from travel. Tony adjusted on the fly and suggested a brief sit-down beverage break at the halfway point of our tour. We got our second wind after that. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job talking to my 87 yo mom (with her cane and hearing aids). He made sure to look at her when speaking (best practice for those with hearing loss)

Becky was the best! She listened to what we wanted out of our tour and was more like a friend showing us around

As a solo traveller, new to the UK this was the perfect experience to get my bearings and understand the history of so many sights. Thank you Delia for showing me some amazing places that I would not have found on my own. Delia was extremely kind, personable and kept me awake and intrigued despite just coming off a long journey flight into the UK. Thank you Delia for your warmth, hope to see you next time!

Ask for Trevor. He was awesome. His knowledge of the city and its history was outstanding. I felt like I was on a tour with my favorite teacher from school.
