What are people saying about London

Jackie_L, Jul 2026

Highly recommend

Rory, our tour guide, spoke well and clear. He has watched Downton Abbey and knew a lot about the show and behind the scene stories. Bampton is a tidy neat town, very happy to see it and spot the places shown in the seasons. Rory had a binder of printouts that matched with where we stopped. Super satisfying experience, if you are a DA fan.

London Jack the Ripper Guided Tour with Ripper-Vision

William_W, Jul 2026

Rob is an awesome guide....

Rob is an awesome guide. He knows this subject very well and has published a book about it aslo. Only issue—which was beyond his control—was there were so many other Ripper tours going on that it got to be a little crowded at all the different murder sites. There is a lot of ground to cover on this tour so make sure you have good shoes and bring along something to drink.

Leeds Castle, Cliffs of Dover and Canterbury Day Trip from London with Guided Cathedral Tour

Pam_V, Jul 2026

Manon was a great Leeds, Dover, Canterbury tour guide

Manon did a great job on our leeds dover canterbury tour. The highway was shut down due to an accident and she was so accommodating to make sure we saw everything intended even with the time change alottment. She had great history on each point of interest. She’s also great at taking our photos. Highly recommend

London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs

Ricky_A, Jul 2026

Freddie made this pub...

Freddie made this pub tour one of the best parts of our London trip. His knowledge of the history behind each pub was fantastic — he clearly loves what he does, and it showed. But what really stood out was how he brought the group together. Within the first stop, we went from a bunch of strangers to feeling like old friends swapping stories over a pint. Great pace, great stories, and Freddie's personality made the whole night. Highly recommend this tour if you want history with a lot of heart.

The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London

Toni_H, Jun 2026

Great day touring the palace and Cotswold

This was a great day and great tour. Seeing the palace was a great highlight of the day. Our tour guide Sandra did an awesome job giving us a wealth of information on the way there and on the way back. She took us to some interesting places in Cotswold as well. Our driver Mentor was awesome and got us through some rough spots without a hitch! An overall great tour!

Downton Abbey & Highclere Castle Tour from London, with Oxford

Michelle_A, May 2026

Great start to our vacation at Highclere

The tour is as advertised, we had 8 people in our group and we all had a wonderful time! Our guide Toby Trimby was knowledgeable and kind and even spent time at the end with each group helping them figure out how to get where they wanted to go. I wish we would have had a little bit more time in Oxford and Bampton, however I appreciate that we were able to go and at least see what it was like. We had a lot of time at Highclere castle and it was amazing! I absolutely recommend this tour!

Shared Group Downton Abbey and Highclere Castle Tour from London

Jane_B, May 2026

This is an excellent...

This is an excellent tour. It stopped at many filming locations/points of interest of Downton Abbey. Our guide, Ginny, was excellent - knowledgeable, charming, funny. Our driver, Prince, was excellent also - safe and good driving in heavy traffic. The tour was outstanding - the owner of Highclere Castle spoke to us about the castle and also filming the program, our guide was great and we got a free book autographed by Lady Carnarvon. Interesting and the day passed by quickly even for someone who doesn’t watch Downton Abbey.

Blenheim Palace Tour and The Cotswolds Day Trip from London

Cynthia_N, Apr 2026

Great, but be Forewarned

We were not aware that the front of the palace would be covered by scaffolding for restoration work. Also, an area of the interior was closed off and being set and decorated for an event. The other public rooms, the Churchill exhibit, gardens, grounds, and stables were lovely and interesting. Kevin, the tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, and Patrick the coach driver was excellent. We enjoyed ourselves and were comfortable.

London by Night Bus Tour with Christmas Lights and Live Guide

Michelle_F, Jan 2026

Such a great way to see...

Such a great way to see London and all the lights. We had only gotten off a plane a few hours before and found it to be a great introduction for our visit. We actually loved the whole experience so much that my husband even considered booking again to do it a few days later! The tour guide was amazing, it’s a shame I can’t remember his name because he had so much information on all the buildings we passed and even the story behind how shops came to start going some of the big displays they do.
