My best friend and I are in London for two days only, and wanted to make the most of our short trip. Booking a private tour with our tour guide, Matty, was the best decision, hands down. Matty picked us up outside of our hotel, and guided us through 2 hours of private storytelling and gorgeous, secret London views, all while we were hooked up to his Bluetooth speaker, blasting our favorite music while riding through the open-air streets of London. Matty took us to some iconic lookouts, capturing amazing photos along the way, but our favorite part was the spooky old town architecture and the small back roads that are not occupied by tourists. Matty had so much knowledge about the city and so many delightful personal stories. We stopped for ice cream and took so many pictures! He dropped us back off right at our hotel. Booking this tour was a dream experience and highly recommended if you’re in London, have accessibility issues, or just want to have an extra exciting time in this iconic city. If you come, book your tour with Matty! He is amazing and so kind. Bring him some Mulligatawny Soup!! ❤️❤️❤️
This is a wonderful way to see the city. SIL is fantastic and very accommodating for my senior mom with mobility issues.
This is an outstanding way to orient yourself with the city. While sadly there are some tuktuk tours that have bad reputations, this was an excellent value for our money.
The rickshaw ride was a fabulous way to see a lot of London close up and efficiently. Sil personalised our tour and provided an interesting and informed commentary. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
Our rickshaw tour was absolutely amazing. Our guides were the kindest, most knowledgeable gentlemen — truly the best we could have asked for. They took us to all the major sights and surprised us with hidden gems we didn’t even know we’d love. They made sure we were all in the photos at every stop, which made the experience even more special. These gentlemen genuinely deserve the king’s seal of approval. Highly recommend

Thank you for the kind words. We always try to give the best experience possible and we are very glad that you and your family enjoyed it. It was a pleasure.
This was a fantastic intro to London! My teenagers and I flew in from the U.S. We booked this on our jet lag day as an overview, as they don’t like the big bus type tours. They were cranky and tired and I feared it would be a bust. Instead- we had the nicest guide ever. And we were able to access areas that cars (and buses) cannot. He was incredibly accommodating when they wanted to make stops or take our pictures. We all had such a great time- and I could not recommend it more!
Our guide was also fantastic with communication and flexibility. He gave me options for specific transportation from Heathrow. And when we arrived ahead of schedule- he moved up the tour.
As good of a start to a trip as you could hope for!

Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure showing you around London. I'm glad the tour helped get your trip off to a great start. I suspect the coffee deserves some credit too! Enjoy the rest of your travels.
Our tour was amazing! We only had a few days in London and wanted to see the sights without doing too much walking. Sil picked us up from our hotel & customized the entire tour to our interests. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing history along the way, and was also a fantastic photographer! It is so nice to have photos to remember that are not just selfies. Sil recommended a morning tour for fewer crowds and we are so glad he did. I travelled with two other adults and we fit in the rickshaw- though it was a tight squeeze- and this tour was a highlight of our trip! Five stars!

Thank you very much for your kind words—your feedback is truly appreciated.
It was a pleasure meeting you all, especially right after the marathon. That added a special energy to the day. I also have to say, it was a real privilege to have someone on the tour who has completed all six major marathons—an impressive achievement and not something I encounter often.
You were all wonderful company, and I’m glad the tour matched your expectations. I’m especially pleased that the photos will serve as lasting memories beyond the usual snapshots.
Thank you again for choosing the tour, and I hope your time in London left you with many great impressions.
Warm regards,
Sil
Sil, a very gentleman, he adapt our tour based on what we were more interested in.
Amazing on head-up and stories of the secret London
Szil is the BEST! I ended up booking two tours. Has so much knowledge and got the absolute best London pictures.
The tour was so much fun and very informative! Sil was excellent at his job and even customized the tour to take us places we hadn’t seen yet, skipping the ones we had already seen. We would definitely go again!
Excellent tour. Sil was very accommodating to find just the right window without rain for our Rickshaw tour. He went above and beyond! Matthew, our guide, did an excellent job of showing us the sites in Westminster and surrounding areas.
What an incredible tour! Sil was an exceptional guide—pedaling us (3 adults) through London while sharing fascinating stories, historical insights, and helping us capture great photos along the way.
His deep knowledge of the city’s history and its hidden corners made the experience both educational and entertaining. He navigated the busy London streets with ease, and his warm, friendly personality made the journey even more enjoyable.
What an exceptional way to take in so many sights in a few hours especially if you are time constrained.
Sil’s tour became one of the highlights of my 75 year old mom’s first trip to London!
I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and informative way to explore London! Thanks Sil!
We had the two best touring guides that London has. He was so informative about all the different locations in London. We Evan went to a sweet shop and got dessert.
Our guide rode us all through all the major attractions of London and catered to specifically areas we had not been to yet. He was very informative, personable and knew all of the best places to pull over
Sil was a was a great pedicab tour guide. He took us to many interesting places all over central London and showed and told us about things, people, history and places we never would have known about on our own. Very pleasant fellow and enjoyed chatting with him during the tours. You can get into smaller places in a pedicab that you could not on a tour bus and it saved hours of walking. Highly recommend Sil and this tour!
Fun experience. Learned a lot and saw a lot of the city. Interesting facts were provided. I highly recommend!
This was a great tour! The tour guide was informative and fun. Had great commentary and interesting stories to share. We would do this tour again! This is a great way to see the city.
We had a fantastic tour with our guide Matthew. He arrived on time and took us all over the city and gave us fun facts along the way. We would highly recommend the tour
Mathew was a great guide. Mathew picked us up at our hotel and returned us back. We experienced parts of London off the beaten track. It was so enjoyable to just sit back in comfort and enjoy the sights.
We highly recommend this experience.
Great for people with mobility issues.
We had a great time - he was very knowledgeable and showed us all the main places in London. I would definitely recommend doing this tour if you’d like to see a lot of London in a relatively short period of time.
Absolutely fabulous!! Silo regaled us with stories and facts that gave context and texture to the buildings and monuments around central London. The tour included places that were fascinating but not mentioned on Hop-on/Hop-off type tours or in most tour guides. The tuk tuk allowed us to feel like we were connected to the action without having to walk or worry about getting lost. We highly recommend this tour for everyone but especially if you’re not up to walking for miles to see the sights.
Very experienced and friendly guide. Adjusted the tour to our needs and wishes. Would recommend to all.
We had such a fantastic morning, getting to see all of the highlights of the heart of London, from Buckingham Palace to Winston Churchill on a bench, from Big Ben gleaming in the sunshine to a bit of Americana, in the form of Ben Franklin’s house. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and funny, and made the experience a treat. I’ve already recommended him to half a dozen friends who are visiting London, and becoming months, and I strongly recommend him to you.
Being able to see the city from a petty cab rather than the top of a bus is charming and interactive, too.
My husband was suffering a back issue, so we had to pivot from our walking tour, and Sil
was absolutely wonderful! His knowledge of the History of the City, and getting us over such a wide area in such a short time was truly amazing. We were thrilled to be able to see so much!
This was such a unique way to experience London! I truly immersive tour with stops along the way for souvenirs, Sil was amazing and very knowledgeable!! Highly recommend
Terrific tour around London, guide was super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. Fair pricing and trustworthy.
Sil was a great rickshaw driver and tour guide. He took us all over to the places we wanted to go and even places we didn’t know we wanted to go until he showed us. Even though the London traffic was crazy we felt safe with him. I loved his stories and personal knowledge. He was very genuine, and we had a wonderful time.
Silo was our driver. He was a safe driver, he wanted to make sure our expectations were met and brought us to many hidden gems areas of London. We would highly recommend him and his rickshaw which was decorated so festive.
Our guide Szilimar Barabas was great. The tour was a good way to see the major historical sites around Kensington and he gave us interesting historical facts. I much preferred this over a walking tour with a group of people we were able to determine what else we wanted to visit in more detail. Also stopped at a wonderful wine and spirits shop and was a given a great recommendation for a fish and chips Pub. Highly recommend.
Sil was a wonderful driver of the rickshaw. He was very informative with the history of Londkn and conformed the ride to suit us. Really enjoyed the time with Sil and saw many highlights in London,
