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.

Simon is the man

Richard_G, Jun 2026
We were only in town for a few short hours, but Simon made us want to stay. Our family has always wanted to to visit London and we were able to see the main "tourists traps" as well as some hidden local gems. Pickup and drop off was very convenient and the overall tour was a success. Thank you Simon.

Greg, our driver was very personable and had a wealth of info to share. What was especially appreciated was his ability to tailor the tour to our particular likes, history & Rock n Roll! As an added bonus, excellent driver in a very difficult environment!

London Discovered with Sue!!

Rhonda_J, Jun 2026
Sue Wilson was amazing! She shared so much information from what was required to become a black taxi cab driver to the history of London! She was so personable and friendly. And, very knowledgeable. We wanted to invite her on the rest of our girls trip 🤗 plus one husband! We would have never been able to tour London like we did only having one full day. We were able to experience so much thanks to Sue! I am not sure how much Sue earns per tour but I am certain it is not enough! We hope to come back to London again! We definitely would call Sue! The best ever tour!! ❤️
