What a perfect overview for London ! We got picked up from the airport, grabbed some breakfast and were on the way to explore. Great way to see the highlights of the city. We had a layover in London and it was the perfect way to spend it .

This was a great experience for anyone wanting to see all the highlights of London and learn the history of the city. Our driver, John, was very knowledgeable and entertaining and knew all the great spots for photos at each place. I recommend doing this on your first day in London so you can then decide which place you want to go back and tour.

Richard was AMAZING!!!!! We could not have asked for a tour guide that had more knowledge about the history, culture and the physical buildings themselves! They don’t exist!!! He was a pleasure and if I could give him 10 stars I would!!! Best tour ever!

Kathryn_G, Apr 2025
Rachel was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and instantly relatable. She is a walking talking encyclopedia of information about London. We laughed so much and learned more than we expected possible. The photo stops were perfect and Rachel turned out to be a fabulous photographer. She knew exactly where to pose us for the perfect shots of the scenery and landmarks. I can’t speak highly enough of her tour. It was our favorite activity in London and we LOVED our time there. I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Thank you so much for your review. Its great to hear what a wonderful time you had out with Rachel. WE hope to see you again in the future!
Laura_G, Mar 2025
Our guide was Tim. He was very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. One of our group members has mobility issues, and we let them know up front we'd have a walker. Tim brought a wheelchair with him and pushed her for us through the crowds! We were able to see so much more because of that. He also took lots of pictures of our group and the sights and sent to us at the end of the day. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you for your review and recommendation Laura. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Tim.

Wish I had an option to give 10 stars! Paul was nothing but fantastic. We had a 6 hour tour and it flew by. Paul was the best! All 4 of us felt like we saw and learned so much about London. He shared knowledge and history of his country. He was very personable and accommodating. I love the way we started the tour with the start of London at a portion of the remaining original wall built by the Romans. When we come back, you can bet I will call Paul.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you so much for your review, we are so glad that you enjoyed your tour of London with Paul. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. All the best, BTTL

Excellent experience traveling to see the sights of London
Our driver Keith was amazing
He asked us if there was a think we would like to see. We told him Abby Road /. Sunken garden at Kensington palace and with no time at all our morning was planned
Thank you Keith for an amazing morning ♥️
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you for your review. We love customising our tours to show you what you want to see and do, and much more!
Kathy_W, Jan 2025
This was a fantastic tour when you have a brief time in London and/or want to see a lot of sites over a shorter period of time. As we had only one full day in London, we thought that spending the additional money for a more personalized tour of many sites was the best bang for our buck. JP (John) was a fantastic tour guide. He provided us with some planning prior to our tour, picked us up at our hotel with waters, was so knowledgeable about time-tables, the sites and various pieces of history. Our teenage sons loved the tour and felt the information was fantastic. He recommended some record shops for our boys to visit after our tour (per their request) and a place for great fish and chips (they were and worth the wait!) We really enjoyed our time with JP and learned a lot about the history of London and the sites we saw. This is a great tour to see a lot of sites if you want a quick overview and/or do not have time to tour each location.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Thank you! We are so glad you enjoyed your tour of London and saw as much as possible within the time you had here. We hope to see you all again in the future. With kind regards, BTTL

He is a great guy. I suggest requesting him

Many for your review Peter. We are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Tim.

Tim Brosnan was an outstanding guide! Being a native of London, he really knew his stuff. We gave him a list of sites we wanted to see and he said no problem, those are already in the plan plus I’ll have some surprises for you. Did he ever deliver. We saw and experienced way more of London with him in one day than we could have ever done on our own in a week! Well worth the price.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for your review William, we are so pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Tim.
Neda_M, Nov 2024
Wow!! Barry was truly a one of a kind tour guide! He made our first full day in London a truly memorable experience my family and I will always cherish! He was prompt, picked us up at our hotel in style! patient - while my two sons husband and I took photos of all the attractions, making sure to get a good shot of us with the best views; and knowledgeable of his city - knowing deeply interesting facts that engaged not just my husband and I, but our 10 year old and 14 year old sons!
We are so happy to have had him as our “intro to London” guide - despite having been to this city several times, his insights and experience made us fall in love with this city all over again !

Peter gave the most engaging and entertaining tour. We saw so much more than a typical tour of London
Response from Host, Oct 2024

Julie_K, Oct 2024
Exactly what I was looking for! Peter is a wealth of.of knowledge and takes a few minutes to get to know you. He then plans to tour accordingly. Not only did I get to see the big sites, but some amazing, hidden gems. It was more like having a friend show you around, thank a standard tour

Thank you Julie, we are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Peter.
Karen_M, Sep 2024
Our guide, Steve Kendall, was wonderful. He listened to what we wanted to do and then showed us everything we asked to see, plus more.
He was very knowledgeable about all the major attractions in London, in addition to lesser known historical sites.
Our tour was perfect from start to finish.
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you so much! We are pleased that you enjoyed your tour with Steve.
Michelle_H, Sep 2024
Tony was the best tour guide ever! He took us all around London for the entire day. He hit the highlights and took us to some places that we would’ve never known about. He knew so much history about London and did such an exceptional job. I highly recommend this!!!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Many thanks for your positive review and recommendation. We are so glad that you enjoyed your tour with Tony.
Andrea_P, Sep 2024
My husband and I got stuck in London for 3 days because of cancelled flights. I was not prepared for a mini vacation so I booked this tour last minute. It was wonderful! Steve was our guide and he took us to several places not listed, but we wanted to see. He was knowledgeable about the history, and even came prepared with markers for us to sign the wall at Abby Road studios. He played photographer and knew several out of the way spots I had never heard of but am so glad we got to see. When we asked him to drop us at an Italian restaurant, he took us to an area that has several to choose from. It definitely made our unexpected stay in London enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this type of tour to anyone.
