It’s great to hear you enjoyed the tour with Nicole.

Dress warmly if it’s a blustery day! It’s quite a bit of walking. Our guide, Nicole was excellent. She had a wealth of knowledge and some great stories!

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Great advice about dressing warmly on a windy day—Stockholm can certainly be brisk at times, and a bit of preparation makes all the difference. We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the walk with Nicole and that her knowledge and storytelling helped bring the experience to life. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another tour in the future!

Laura_N, Mar 2026

The tour was so beautiful. I learned so much about London. I thought I already knew a lot, but Nicole still managed to surprise me. Nicole, the tour guide, is very knowledgeable and easy to follow in English, even though it is not my first language. She keeps to the pace of the group. She involves you in the tour and shows genuine interest in your questions. She takes the time for you as a person, but doesn't waste time. I really enjoyed the tour. I didn't realize that 3 hours had already flown by. I also didn't realize that we had secretly walked quite a lot. I have come to know London in a different way.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share this thoughtful reflection on your experience in London. It’s a pleasure to hear that the tour offered you a new perspective on the city, even with your prior knowledge, and that Nicole’s way of guiding made the experience both clear and engaging. Creating a setting where guests feel comfortable asking questions, while keeping a natural pace, is something we value highly. It’s also nice to know the time passed so easily while still allowing you to cover a meaningful part of the city on foot—often the best way to experience London more closely. We appreciate you sharing this and would be glad to welcome you again.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for your recommendation. It’s great to hear that Andrew’s engaging and knowledgeable approach helped bring the experience to life, and that the tour covered everything you had hoped to see—and more. That sense of both structure and spontaneity is something we aim for in every Copenhagen walking tour. We’d be glad to welcome you again.

London in a Day

Melinda_A, Jan 2026

Beautiful City with so much to see and do. Ours was a quick trip and this walking tour was perfect to enjoy the City with intention. Small group turned into just us and Andrew. Despite the rainy and dreary weather, Andrew was an excellent guide that bought London history to life. Pace of the tour was great, Andrew was engaging and friendly. Highly recommend this tour for intro to London on a quick trip or to narrow down your interests of sights to revisit on a longer stay. Cheers to London and we plan to visit again in the future.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad the tour with Andrew helped make the most of your short visit to London. Even with rainy skies, it’s great to hear that his energy, knowledge, and pacing brought the city to life and gave you a meaningful introduction. We appreciate you choosing Amitylux Tours and hope to welcome you again on your next adventure — rain or shine!

Building a connection with London

Ekaterina_M, Oct 2025

Amazing tour! Nicole is very knowledgable and painted a picture of London, its history and people through the stories and anecdotes she told about each site. Not your average list of facts and dates rattled off at typical tours. After this experience, I feel like I have a connection with London and an appreciation for the disparities that make it what it is. Very well done!!! Not to mention, fantastic value for the money. I was the only one on my tour, so it was pretty much a private tour at an extremely reasonable price.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We’re so glad to hear how much you enjoyed your London walking tour with Amitylux. It’s wonderful that Nicole’s storytelling brought the city’s history and character to life for you — that’s exactly the experience we aim to create. Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback, and we hope to welcome you on another Amitylux tour in the future!

Elizabeth_G, Aug 2025

Nicole was an AMAZING guide! She shared a wealth of information, history, and fun stories. We covered a lot of ground and she always found shady, quieter spots to stand in a busy area on a hot day. We covered a lot of ground!
