Tour to be feel like local Londoner - Maha was an amazing tour guide. We walked a lot but felt like locals, taking the underground and double decker bus, etc. He was very patient as we wanted to enjoy experience by taking pictures in front of most ionic landmarks , buying of souvenirs, etc. He took us to a great pub where they served very tasty English food, including the traditional fish with chips and sausages. The tour was a last minute decision but turned out to be a memorable experience.

Great way to see lots of London sites & landmarks - Ollie was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She knows where to stop for comfort breaks and refreshments. Kids really enjoyed the tour, getting to see far more than we could've done by tube in a day. Ollie's MPV is very comfortable and spacious too and she took some great photos for us. The only downside was a demonstration that resulted in a few roads blocked and a bit of congestion, but Ollie worked round it.

Lovely family outing in London - We loved our tour guide Ollie! We spent 5 hours driving around the city. We came during off season in November so the crowds were not too bad. She was lovely and she showed us all the places we wanted to see and then some. She’s very knowledgeable about the landmarks and historic buildings and showed us the best places to eat. She also knew where we could use the restrooms around the city for free. My family and I enjoyed our time with her. She was prepared with umbrellas for all of us when the torrential rain came down, and made sure we were dry and comfortable. She’s also a great photographer and took wonderful photos of our family. Ollie made sure the atmosphere was fun and that we still enjoyed ourselves on such a rainy day. We highly recommend that you book a tour with her specifically!

Ollie, Ollie that’s for me. - Ollie was very personable and fun. She was able to adapt the tour for my wife and I who have limited mobility. She made us feel valued and almost part of the family. Her knowledge of London was immense. She really gave us a feeling of what London was and is about. We highly recommend her.

A Must in London - This tour was the highlight of our trip. Ollie was the BEST guide and also became our friend along the way. We did the private drive tour and I would highly recommend it. You get to see the main itinerary while also having the ability to customize and see other highlights along the way. Ollie was so knowledgeable of the city she was able to get us to amazing places and guide us in exactly how to see the best things at the right time. I can’t say enough about this experience. BOOK IT!

Excellent for a layover - We booked this tour for a 9 hour layover and had a great time with Ollie. We ran short on time due to us having to navigate out of LHR, but Ollie was excellent at fast tracking the tour so we could see the sights. Thanks, Ollie!

Bad - The driver did not show! Had a message from him 5 minutes before we were to meet. I messaged back but got no response. I tried to call but no answer, said the line was busy. So disappointed.

Avoid at all costs! Major safety concerns. - We booked this private tour during our visit from London to the USA. The experience was beyond disappointing (bordering on unsafe), and frankly, we are concerned we were scammed by the company. The driver (who later admitted to us he is not affiliated with the company - the company asked him to “drive us around for 5 hours” via another party), had no awareness at all about the tour itinerary. There was also no “tour” included - only driving us around in a cab in a hurried manner with instructions to let him (the driver) know if we wanted to see anything. Typically, that’s the point of booking a tour - we wanted to see what we booked! ;) The driver knew nothing about the stops on the itinerary (he continued to just ask us what did we want to do) and he what no idea that we were supposed to have lunch and tea included in this experience. Needless to say, we did not get lunch or tea which was already paid for in our price. When we became concerned about safety and called the company, we were brushed off by the customer service rep (already over 2 hours into the tour) with her saying “well, I’ll tell the driver to find some place to take you to lunch and then you can pick out 2 stops after lunch to ‘salvage’ the tour.” Mind you, the tour was supposed to include ~24 stops. Due to safety concerns for our three children and elderly parents traveling with us, we decided to terminate the tour (the other option offered to us by the unkind rep). For your safety (and peace of mind), I would strongly recommend using a different company for your private tour. I have recordings of all of this that I plan to submit to the company for follow-up.
