Great way to see the major sights in half a day! - It's been sometime since my wife and I had been to London. We wanted to spend our first day revisiting sights with a tour guide to share the rich history and show us the ones not to be missed. Tem, our tour guide, was awesome. Full of stories, historical information and passionate about London. We started in Westminster and we went non/stop for 4.5 hours. We love to walk and put on many miles. You won't be disappointed.

A perfect London tour! - We had Naomi take us on a wonderful tour of London! Traveled the world but never London, and we shared with her in advance other tours already planned, indicating we didn’t want to duplicate the effort, and wanted to see things that would be unique to any tourist. So she completely nailed it! Meeting us at our hotel at 10:00 am at our request, we take the tube and go through streets and see galleries and stores and had coffee and a pastry at a truly local place. Walked through Covent Gardens and 2 bars that were nearby the law school (even the store where you buy your wig to wear to go to Court). We even met 2 people who were studying bee pollination! Toward the end we asked her to leave us near a local pub so we could have a pint. It was past our time with her, and we offered to buy her a pint, and SHE was having so much fun she joined us and we shared photos of her experiences in India and ours in a South African safari earlier this year! I would highly recommend Naomi in a heartbeat if you want to have a truly unique experience in London!!!

Great experience in London.in a short stay - Delia, our guide, moved really easily around London and the underground. In such a short time (@4 hours), she showed us the iconic places in London and some more.

Wonderful tour! - Awesome tour! Our family was only in London for 1 day, and we were worried about missing attractions due to this. Tom took us on the perfect city tour. We saw everything we wanted to see, and more. Tom was great with our 7, 8, and 11 year old kids. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful tour of London - We had an amazing tour with our guide, Tom. He was so energetic, informed and entertaining. He gave us a great overview of London, and we were able to see all the major sights (including a glimpse of King Charles as his motorcade returned to Buckingham Palace). We had a very rainy morning in London, but it did not dampen our tour at all, Tom also kindly took lots of pictures of our family. For a true insider’s view of London, this tour is a winner. I would highly recommend it!

Customized itinerary was great, but had to insist on different modes of transport than our guide initially wanted - Our guide did a good job of customizing this tour to our requests, though we had to be pretty explicit about transportation between sites (this is typically a walking tour with a suggested itinerary that most people follow -- our guide said this was the first time he'd had someone customize the tour, though this is exactly how the tour is presented) -- our itinerary necessitated using some rideshares (taxis/Ubers) in order to cover everything we wanted to see, but our guide was definitely more in favor of trying to walk (despite too much ground to cover this way) or taking the underground 9which was crowded and stressful for my kids)...in the end it all worked out, but just be prepared to be assertive about what you want/don't want this tour to be. Our guide did a fine job overall and was a nice guy and accommodating in the end and we have a great time seeing what we really wanted most to see.
