Becky is amazing. She is so knowledgeable, fun and makes sure everyone is engaged.

Alaina Nov 2025

We only had a day trip to England, and only four hours in which the guide did a great job making sure we hit all the main tourist attractions! She was very friendly and attentive.

Camila Nov 2025

Bea was a wonderful guide! We spent a really pleasant morning walking around a rainy London and she shared so much history and information in a very interesting way. She kindly took photos of me since I was traveling solo and gave me multiple route options to choose from. It was a great experience!

Bea was excellent! She is such a kind and smart person, with a lot of knowledge and very engaging. It was a pleasure to spend a morning with her and will definitely be back and hopefully hire her again!

Darryl was perfect. A real local with knowledge and designed the trip to fit our needs. Also gave us great suggestions for good eating spots at the end of our tour. He takes great pictures too!
