As Canadians, we are Royal watchers and absolutely loved seeing Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace and St. James Palace. Our tour guide Lee, was incredibly knowledgeable, took us to the best spots for photo ops and took us to some surprisingly fun and interesting locations. We highly recommend this tour.

Clifford was a wonderful guide. We saw everything we hoped for and more. He explained the history of all the places we visited. We had plenty of time at each stop and got loads of good photos. He was also a great driver. A thoroughly enjoyable and worthwhile trip.

Such a great experience!!!

Noelle_S, May 2026
Best experience, highly recommend! Our driver Simon who also goes by the name Mario took us on an incredible tour of the city. He was knowledgeable, funny, and very safe driver. He went above and beyond to accommodate our multigenerational family and I feel like we learned and experienced so much of London during our tour. I highly recommend this tour, it was worth every penny and a highlight of our trip!!!

We had a fantastic tour with our guide, Greg!! He was very friendly and so knowledgeable. He customized the tour to sites and interests we had. Our 4 teenagers stayed entertained and engaged. Greg was so good with them! His humor and expertise was a wonderful combo. The day of our tour was quite busy and loads of traffic and he navigated the city so well!! We would recommend Greg to our friends and family for future tour needs. 10/10 stars!

John led us on an adventure into the colorful and illustrious history of London from the Romans to present day skyscrapers. John’s detailed knowledge punctuated with his personal local experiences gave us a wonderful taste of this wonderful city.

Superstar cabby!

Renee_T, May 2026
Our cabby, Jamie, was very thorough and accommodating. When I asked where to buy a fancy hat, he took us to the oldest millinery in London still standing! We got lots of tips on how to make the most of the rest of our planned adventures. We took in a lot more than I thought we would. Jamie the cabby is a London Superstar!

Top Notch Tour

Private london tour

Shawna_H, May 2026
Dave was amazing and a wealth of knowledge. He asked us our interests before we began, and if there were any "must see" places. Then created a wonderful tour catering to our likes and showing us things we would have never thought of being able to see. Hands down the best way to start our london visit.

Simon Says Superbly!

Debra_B, May 2026
Simon was marvelously knowledgeable….the three of us often decided to stay in the cab when he suggested a short walk to a key site…he kindly told us the stories and went to take photos on my camera. Simon navigated London traffic mastrefully! Bravo…superb experience

Wonderful guided tour!

Mary_M, May 2026
Wonderful guided tour. Jeff was a very experienced, thorough & well-spoken guide and an exceptional story teller. We learned a great deal, saw all the major sites in central London and totally enjoyed this glimpse of an amazing, historic city. It was an ideal experience.

Impressive overview of the city, knowledgeable guide

Mary_A, May 2026
We had a great time on our tour of London. Our guide, Clifford, was wonderful. Our flights were delayed twice that day and we were running several hours behind. Clifford met us at the airport so that we still had time to do the tour. We only had one day in London and this tour was a great way to see many of the highlights while learning a bit about history as well. We stopped to get pictures at all of the major sites that we wanted to see. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great first day tour and guide

Joseph_B, May 2026
Perfect tour for our first day in London. We had limited mobility due to an injury suffered earlier on our vacation ( different country). Our driver set us up in the best location to see the changing of the guard. We saw many of the expected sites. When my wife asked about a cafe called Crypt Cafe, Stephen took us to All Hallows church and we were able to see the crypt under the church dating back to Roman times. We definitely saw more than we expected and greatly enjoyed our time with Stephen.

Steve was such a great guide. He took us all around London and shared lots of information and let us get out and take pictures and see really good points of interest in London. This is the best way to see London in our opinion!

Best Decision of my Trip!

Mercy_G, May 2026
Going on this tour was the best decision I took on my trip. Reuben, my tour guide made it more than a sight seeing tour but a memory of a lifetime. His passion and love for London rubbed off on me and I had the best time of my life. I loved every bit of the London tour and can’t wait to do it again with my family. Thank you Reuben!

Very personable to our guide. Extensive knowledge about London and British history. We saw all the best places of interest

Great 3 hour historical and insightful experience!

Terje_V, May 2026
This was a 3 hour guided tour me and my family of four went on during our weekend in London. Paul was an amazing guide, from being a man that has great insight and knowledge about multiple historical events and buildings planted all around London and general England, to simply being great company and even adding a few sightseeing locations my family wanted to see, such as the filming location of the last drop from Harry Potter. He helped us take photos, offered us beverages and great conversation, recommended other tourist attractions and dropped us off at a nearby market so that finding a lunch spot would be easier. Overall a great experience, I recommend it to those who are looking for an engaging, well paced and insightful history lesson and overall fun experience in London!
