Great choice. My husband and I were so glad we booked his tour

Lyndon what a terrific host. He shared his knowledge of the secret courtyards and alleys in London and the different pubs we visited with flair. It was a really great way to learn about the city, need some other travelers, and enjoy a couple of pints.

Downton Abbey and Village Small Group Tour from London

Downton fans will love it!

Great tour for Downton Abbey fans. Rory was a great guide and the driver was excellent as well. Highly recommend! We went on a Saturday in March so there was no crowding and we got a guided tour. The docent was also excellent and answered everyone’s questions. Our tour included a meal and a book by Lady Carnovan. Both very good.

Excellent Pub Tour

Excellent tour round the pubs of Soho. Although we'd been to London a few times, we saw places we hadn't been to before and learned some new stories. Our guide Tom was very entertaining and enthusiastic and we had a great afternoon, despite the heavy rain!

The Cotswolds and Blenheim Palace Day Trip from London

Amazing Full day Tour

Loved this tour! Chrissy was a great tour guide! This was our first time in the UK and I feel this tour was a must do! From Blenheim to the Cotswolds to Bampton everything was amazing. My only gripe was I wish there was more time! With the size of Blenheim it would take a couple days to truly explore it, but it was still informative and overall very enjoyable. The Cotswolds were absolutely beautiful and scenic. Bampton was also cool to see (especially for Downton Abbey fans like myself!) it is a full day trip so comfy shoes and a nice warm coat are absolutely essential. I would certainly recommend this tour and go again!

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.

Sensational Harry Potter Tour!

This was a fantastic experience in every way! Our tour guide, Arne, was absolutely wonderful! He was charming, knowledgeable and personable, totally engaging and interesting throughout the entire tour. His trivia questions were great fun, his information and presentation top notch, and the places we visited were all relevant to Harry Potter. We absolutely LOVED it and would recommend this tour - especially with Arne - to anyone! It truly made our trip special and memorable!

Great Exploration of Kent!

Beautiful Day in Kent. Enjoyed Leeds Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. We could even see France from Dover it was such a clear and sunny day. Shiela had lots of very interesting history to share both on the coach and walking through Canterbury and the Cathedral. She is an expert.

Better than Walking or a Crowded Bus Tour

Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Seb picked us up at our hotel at 4pm and took us to see many Christmas lights in a variety of areas. He kindly took a few pictures of us too when he could. Because of traffic and the crowds, we may have missed a few spots like Covent Garden, but Seb made up for it by taking us to so many other places. He had a great sense of humor too. We arranged in advance to be dropped off at a restaurant we made a dinner reservation at which was very helpful too. Definitely recommend.

Recommend any time but the Christmas season.

During the Christmas season it is impossible to see and appreciate the historic and beautiful interior of this building due to the overwhelming Wizard of Oz decor. Our tour guide ,Manon , was outstanding. The tour company had mixed up our tickets and did not have a ticket available for my husband. It was the end of the day and no one was going to do anything about it . Manon tried unsuccessfully to connect the tour company and Blenheim to work out why we were one ticket short . When it became apparent that they were getting nowhere and only eating up our limited touring time Manon stepped up and paid for the ticket with her own money not knowing if she would ever be reimbursed. It’s rare to find such a responsible adult in the world today. The company should be proud to have someone like her representing them. We really appreciated her kindness and generosity and certainly hope the tour company will reimburse her.

Funny and informative!

Andrew was an amazing tour guide. This was my first big tour and he was everything I could want from a tour guide. He was funny, communicative, and personable. You could tell he was a true fan of Downtown Abbey with how many facts he had about the location, the actors, the history of the filming location and even knowledgeable about London in general. He told us exactly what time to get on the bus, gave us tips on bathroom availability, and was just overall very organized and respectful towards the sites we were going. Highly recommend.
