Scott_R, Apr 2026

Great tour, great guide!

This was an excellent tour! Our guide Ashley was personable, knowledgeable, funny and kept our group on track time wise. London is full of interesting history and he added lots of fun details we would have missed. Highly recommend this tour with Ashley as your guide!

London: Buckingham Palace & Big Ben (& Westminster Abbey entry)

Bonnie_O, Apr 2026

A wonderful walking tour...

A wonderful walking tour of the must see historical landmarks. Ash was such a knowledgeable and captivating tour guide. I can’t speak highly enough of how much we enjoyed Ash’s insights and unending knowledge of England’s history. Highly recommend this activity. Company was a dream to work with as an unexpected closure of Westminster Abbey they offered a number of alternatives to choose from and flexibility.

London Rock and Roll Music Tour

Alyx_M, Apr 2026

Worth a return trip!

Our guide, Steve, was full of information about both Rock and Roll and London. He easily engaged his audience and has a great sense of humor. I can't for the life of me remember our driver's name, but he was a navigation wizard on a high traffic day due to the tube drivers' strike. We had booked this trip for last year and missed the bus, so we had to come back to London to try again. It was more than worth it!

The Changing of the Guard Tour and Buckingham Palace

Melonie_H, Apr 2026

Wonderful experience!

John was an excellent guide--knowledgeable and friendly. My companions and I got great spots to see the changing of the guard and also the changing of the horse guard! We learned a lot from John about Westminster Abbey and iconic buildings in the surrounding area. Overall, a great guided experience!

London in a Day: Tower of London, Westminster & River Cruise

Sherry_A, Apr 2026

A day in London's history, from Partliament to the Tower.

Jane is a terrific guide, full of information and history. The day tour of London was very educational. The highlight was the Tower of London, which she knew so much detail about. In addition, we were thrilled that she helped us formulate an itinerary for Tuesday that encompassed places we wanted to see in an organized manner.

The guide Dan was very knowledgeable, funny and kept it relevant for our teenagers as well as some senior citizens in our group. He kept us moving at a great pace, built a 20 min rest for hot chocolate & pastries. It was a 10/10 and I was worried my teenagers wouldn’t be able to handle a 4 hour tour!

London: Westminster Abbey, Big Ben & Changing of the Guards Tour

Joyce_H, Apr 2026

The Tour Guy London Tour

The Tour Guy did a great job -- especially on a very cold, windy day! He changed his normal path to help us stay out of the wind. He was very knowledgeable about everything in the area, and even introduced us to a surprise horse guard inspection. He was easy to talk with, and always very careful to keep group together -- not lose anyone in the crowds.

London Rock Legends Tour including Abbey Road

Jill_C, Apr 2026

Great tour for rock and roll fans

From the moment we started Ian shared a wealth of information, anecdotes and trivia with us, pointing out landmarks around London and passing out pictures of the various artists taken at the sites we were passing. The tour included a few stops where we got off the bus to stretch our legs and explore or take photos. We had a great driver, as well, and a very comfortable bus. Great tour for rock and roll fans!

Ultimate Jack the Ripper : Guided Tour of London

Ossguie_K, Apr 2026

Walking Tour with Betina

Had a fantastic experience on the Jack the Ripper tour! Betina was an amazing guide, super engaging, knowledgeable, and brought the history to life in such a captivating way. The walk through Whitechapel was immersive and really atmospheric, and I appreciated how she balanced storytelling with historical context, while also giving respectful attention to the victims. Highly recommend this tour if you’re in London, definitely worth it!

Harry T was an excellent and funny guide. He kept both adults and kids engaged. The walk was a good pace and he gave attention to areas I would have certainly missed. Even if certain members are not big HP fans, Harry’s history of London kept everyone entertained.

Warner Bros. Studio Tour London - The Making of Harry Potter and Oxford Day Trip

Natalia_L, Feb 2026

Very complete tour

The Experience was great. Oxford tour is more historic with a hint of Harry Potter. If you want to go to Christchurch, it is about 20 GBP extra. The fun fact tour could be shorter as if you have children. It can be a little history heavy as for the Harry Potter Studios, did you get four hours and it’s enough if you are not going doing half term break for schools. I could not do any of the outside exhibits because they were full, but this had nothing to do with the tour. Valentina did a great job and I recommend her bring an umbrella and pack a snack because if you want to maximize time at Oxford, you should eat on the bus.
