We had a great experience with Simon on our 3hr tour. He was able to adjust as we had seen some other sites earlier in our visit. He was very attentive to the needs of our multi-generational group. Highly recommend this!

Simon was very knowledgeable! He had a great personality and enjoyed his tour of London. Would definitely recommend him to others.

We had a phenomenal tour of London with Simon! We asked to see some non typical tourist sites of London and Simon truly delivered. While visiting the sites, we learned the history behind the English idioms “minding the gap,” “so quiet that you can hear a pin drop,” “sent to the Clink,” and “laughing your head off” to name a few. Simon has a wealth of knowledge and a wonderfully fun delivery style. He made sure that we got great photos of our tour, too. Our time with Simon flew by. I HIGHLY recommend this tour!!!!

Great tour with Simon! We didn't have anything specific we wanted to see, so Simon hit the highlights with us on our 3 hour London tour. We saw a lot and he helped us get great photos. He's very knowledgeable so we learned a lot. It was a perfect experience for us, and at the end he gave us suggestions on what to do next.
He mentioned that his tours could be tailored to your specific interests if you want as well.

Our tour guide Glen was fantastic and the communication from tour operator Simon was great. Glen picked us up right on time at a location of our choosing and took us on a 3+ hour tour not only of highlights of London, but was some really interesting stops that we would not have known about like the hat store and wine merchant that have been serving the royals and famous people from history for centuries. Glen also took excellent photos of us at each of the stops. Highly recommend this tour if you want a quick tour of London's highlights.

Excellent driver. Simon took us to all the sights and allowed us time to take photos. Had a great time.

Very informative and exiting tour! Simon was a great guide and kept us entertained the whole time. We were able to see all the major attractions and learn so much more than anticipated.

A perfect way to see the city in a short time with the best guide! My family highly recommends this tour.
Mark_B, Sept 2024
Wonderful way to spend the first day in town, getting a good sense of the layout of the city. Our driver showed us around, gave us time to get out and walk a bit, introduced us to some fun sights (oldest Cigar Shop with a Winston Churchill exhibit), and taught us about his home city.
Natalie_S, Sept 2024
Our guide was very kind and professional and offered us a wealth of information. He maximized our comfort inside that cab with information and minimized our time in the rain. We were prepared with hooded rain jackets and he didn’t hesitate for a second to hop out with us to get photos. Speaking of photos, our best and most memorable photos of the trip are the ones he took of us in front of top landmarks, with our own cell phone cameras. 10/10 recommend.

Patrick was excellent. He made our tour fun, educational and upbeat. We recommend a tour with their company!

We had a blast with Simon!
He took us to all the must see spots in London and shared his vast historical knowledge.
We highly recommend Simon’s tour for your next visit in London.
Kim_M, Jul 2024
If you're going to do a tour of London, this is the one to do. Simon is fabulous. He's knowledgeable, friendly, knows cool, interesting things to include, and how to tailor aspects of the tour to make it more meaningful - and memorable - for you. Simon created an unforgettable experience for us and for our two teen boys. Thank you, Simon!!!
Jostyn_H, Jul 2024
Simon is a fantastic tour guide that makes learning about London fun and interesting. He also knows the best stops to get the photos you need to remember your trip forever. I absolutely recommend this tour if you are in London. His vehicle is clean, comfortable, spacious and exactly what you think of when you imagine London.
Andre_a, Jul 2024
Amazing cab tour! Simon is very knowledgeable and also knows lots of hidden gems to see and cool facts. His cab is immaculate and comfortable. We would reach out to Simon again next time we are here in London. Highly recommend his tour and he also is a great photographer. I have the most pictures ever in one day of my family with myself on vacation which is a treasure : ). Thank you Simon!
Stephanie_K, Jun 2024
Simon was an amazing tour guide. He was so nice and accommodating. We saw all the big sites and some things I didn’t know about but loved (queens book store, row ex council housing). He told great stories at the sites and knew perfect spots for photos and took them for us. The cab was clean, comfortable, and had a panoramic roof. Great overview of London for a short trip.
Joyce_W, Jun 2024
Roman wall and tower was interesting. Changing of the guard. Buckingham Palace. Golden Hind boat and many other historical roads and alleys
Leslie_W, Jun 2024
Simon was absolutely amazing! It was like touring London with a comedian. We had such a fun and saw all of the sites and more we didn’t even know existed. It also helped us get our bearings as we did the tour the same day arriving in London. Simon provided important dos and donts while here too. A must on your arrival to London.
MariaCeleste_D, Jun 2024
Simon was an awesome tour guide, we couldn’t ask for more! He was very patient with my mom and dad (in their 80s). Very knowledgeable and detailed. Knows the ins and outs of the places we went to. His tour will please your sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. A feast for the senses! We’re glad we did this. Highly recommended!
JEFF_B, May 2024
Simon was the best tour guide. He made sure we were well entertained while dodging traffic so we could enjoy the city. He made our stop over well worth the visit.
Sandra_H, May 2024
Look no further. Simon was the best tour guide we’ve had in London. Just did a quick 3-hour tour but it was packed with great historical information and anecdotes. He took us to all the major sites and told fabulous stories. Timely and courteous and very funny! Worth every penny!
Stephen_P, Apr 2024
Simon (our guide) was simply perfect. The type of tour you hope you’ll get but don’t expect. He knew the best places to go and get pics. Had insight into all the different parts of the city. He made our trip truly memorable. Absolutely the highlight of a week in London.
Lauren_S, Jan 2024
Stephen was absolutely excellent on our tour of London. He took my son and me all around the best sights, sharing interesting information about London and its history. He was particularly great with my 9 year old son, sharing facts that kept him interested throughout the tour. We will definitely use Stephen again upon our return to the UK, and would recommend to our friends and family.
Cheryl_H, Oct 2023
The driver was very knowledgeable about the city.
Made us feel like friends who haven’t met before.
Clean comfortable vehicle.
Highly recommend him.
Marina_S, Oct 2023
The tour was amazing, Simon’s knowledge and professionalism are above any expectations one might have, and his love for London, albeit not declared, is contagious. I am very happy I decided to take this tour. Simon took great pictures of me in all the “iconic” locations, he clearly has talent for photography. He was on time, and communication was impeccable. Highly recommend, and thank you Simon!
Susan_H, Sept 2023
Very engaging tour all around London! Wonderful guide who shared the history and experiences of London as well as future growth. He even made sure he directed us to our next event.
Garn_C, Sept 2023
Simon was the ultimate professional. Even more than that, he was kind and caring, and catered to our every need. He knows the sites and history of London like the back of his hand. We will recommend him to anyone we know that is coming to London. If we come back to London, we will definitely use him again.
Deanna_G, Sept 2023
Simon was the perfect guide, really amazing! High energy, fun and gave us the best private tour of London. Hit all the spots we wanted to see: Westminster Abby, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Bridge, Tower of London, The Eye—and more, but places we neve would have found on our own. We really got to see it all in Simons very comfy & immaculate black taxi cab. He was very accommodating and great fun! He took lots of pictures, and honestly without him, there’s no chance we would have documented our tour so well. I had two 19 year old girls, each a queen of selfies in their own right, but even they admitted that Simon took the cake. I can’t say enough about Simon, thank you!
