5.00My husband and I had a fantastic black cab tour of London with Pete, and it was such a relaxed, informative, and enjoyable experience. He knows the city inside out and shared so many interesting stories we never would have discovered on our own. A brilliant way to see London — we’d highly recommend him to anyone visiting. Thank you Pete!

5.00What a lucky find for us. Peter was such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide, bringing us to all sorts of great sites, both the famous and the offbeat. He customized the itinerary to us on the fly as he learned more about us through the day. This tour was the difference between a Good London trip and a Great London trip. London can be tough for the mobility impaired, but Peter made it so that my mother's wheelchair wasn't even an issue.
Buckle up for an unforgettable day!

5.00While it reflects we chose Classic London Tour, every single tour with Peter is bespoke. He can’t help it. He loves history & personally connecting it for people so much that the second he learns any detail about you or your interests, he will weave that into your route. I wish we could clone him to be all our kids’ history & social studies teachers! But unless they let daily field trips for all classes, we’d lose half the effect. His knowledge of everything in every building & around every corner or alleyway - and which short-cut or reroute to take - is of no use standing still all day in a classroom. It was truly an amazing experience to go through centuries of history in under a square half-mile: from standing in a Roman amphitheater to viewing the to-scale vision for London in 2050 - & even catching the fictional Harry Potter version of London in between. That’s not to say we only toured a square half-mile. We covered so much London! We looked at British history, music, banking, wars, art, and then those ties to so many other continents & cultures thousands of years in both directions… It was a whirlwind of a tour, so we were grateful to be provided links to deeper dives into all the places we stopped. Which we immediately began enjoying on the long flight home. We plan to bring our daughter back the second she complains about any boring history class…because with Peter there is no such thing - it is all connected & we are all connected. ❤️ Do yourself the favor & schedule it. And then buckle up - you’re in for an unmatchable day! Thank you, Peter!

5.00Peter did an excellent job. Very knowledgeable. The only issue I had was the website said that entry into places would be included but our guide said we had to pay to go into the attractions
The best travel guide ever.

5.00Peter who was our guide made our day spent together a welcoming experience as if we were all family and worked to engage us and connect with each of us, including Peter making a TIkTok with my daughters. Peter is passionate and so knowledgeable about the information provided as well as took photos of us along the way and sent all to us for the memories of this tour with him. Peter then followed up with sending all the different articles about the information discussed along the tour.

5.00We are so happy we booked with Peter! He was so knowledgeable and kind. He showed us so many unique and unusual areas that not just the normal tour guide would show you! He even got us a reservation at the Mayflower which was such an amazing experience with delicious food! If you want to fit an action packed day in and see as much of London as you can in one day, Peter is the tour guide for you!
