Latest reviews from our guests

    Paulo met me at a Tube stop near my hotel and we traveled to Brixton together. That made it easy for us to start the tour. He gave me the how down on the history of Brixton and how it came to be in its current state. We went to the Central Park where there were fantastic views of central London. And when it was finished, Paulo took me back to the Tube station where we met

    In the 3 hours of the tour time, Tom took me around to show me the various types of street art in the Shoreditch area. It gave me a good feeling for the tempo of the neighborhood.

    This is my 2nd review- we had Tom for two different tours- I’m just copy/pasting because there’s not much to change- other than to say- Tom was able to make everything so interesting and fun for not just my 9 year olds- but for my 17 year old and my husband- no small feat. :) Plus this Prior review : 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!!
