Excellent service, very knowledgeable. Entire tour was perfect. Andrew was exceptionally well educated, personal and very easy to listen to. The Black taxi was perfect for the four of us. Will do this again next year.
Steve was amazing. He took every opportunity to make sure that he covered our full itinerary and took the most fantastic pictures. He was extremely professional and kept us laughing all day.
We had a 12 hour layover in London and took this tour. Andrew, our guide, was wonderful. He completely customized our tour for us. We saw lots of movie locations we wanted to see in addition to the standard tour items. He was so knowledgeable of history and all things London. I would definitely recommend him.
Gordon was such a great guide and historian! We learned so many new things about London and had an incredible time.
Gregg was amazing. Extremely knowledgeable. Knew where to go and what to see. Great insight into UK and history. Highly recommend Greg.
Gordon made our day in London fabulous
Andrew was a veritable encyclopedia of deep British history. One of the most valuable days spent w a stranger who became a pal and made us feel far less of a stranger to our surroundings. A fountain of knowledge without coming across as a know it all— pleasant, engaging, knowing when to put on and let off the intensity. He’s incredibly versatile, and we were thankful that he had a selection of ideas and destinations to help make the tour fit our group. I will recommend Andrew to my friends and colleagues back home. We’re going to miss not having his wise take for the next few days as we go it alone. It was a shame when we had to part ways, but clearly all six of us will remember the excellent, enjoyable day spent with our pal. Thanks a lot Andrew. You are first class— a master of your trade.
