    What travelers think of our experiences in Others

    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!

    Our lovely guide, Anna Marie, was so patient, waited over 2 hours for us due to a delayed flight. While this disrupted her original tour plans for us, she made the best of our brief time in London. She is an incredible historian and has a zeal for London. I highly recommend this tour.
