Lucy was a wonderful tour...

Tiffany_S, Jun 2025

Lucy was a wonderful tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and random questions my kids asked. She also personalized the experience to make sure we were able to see all the highlights and our requests. Every story and historical event she talked about was riveting enough to even keep my youngest entertained.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a great time with Lucy. It’s wonderful to know she was able to keep the whole family—especially the youngest—engaged and entertained throughout the tour. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour in the future!

Great guide and tour!

William_K, May 2023

Probably our favorite tour over two weeks in the UK and Ireland. Alex was a wealth of knowledge and really brought Londons history to life for our family. Our 11 and 12 year old boys even stayed engaged the entire time which is no small feat! While Alex had a plan for the best things for us to see, she was also more than willing to customize things to accommodate our wishes. I would highly recommend!

Perfect!

Lucy was fabulous and so knowledgeable. We had the best time with her! She was able to take us all over London!

A wonderful three days on London with Lucy

rikkib3, Jun 2022

Lucy was fantastic! We were able to have Lucy as our guide for all three days in London. She took us on a walking tour to Westminster, to the Tower of London, and through the British Museum. She was so patient and kind to our three children while providing incredibly knowledgeable information to all three stops! I highly recommend these tours and make sure to ask for Lucy!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you very much for your feedback! We are so glad you had such a wonderful time with Lucy! We will be at your disposal any time you will come back to London.

Great Walking tour with Dan

Dream63147545064, Jul 2019

We actually had three tours through this company in one week- all with Dan as our tour guide. He was witty and extremely informative, as well as patient with our two young kids. My son kept interrupting him and we were very impressed with how he could both pay attention to him and then steer the conversation back to the tour. We actually asked to modify this walking tour to include a visit inside Westminster Abbey and the tour company got back to me right away to make the adjustments. They were very kind and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this company and Dan!
