5.00My tour guide was Ana Maria. She was wonderful. She planned the day perfectly, so not I was only able to see the things on my list but also much much more. Ana Maria was easy going and a pleasure to spent the day with. Thank you for this great experience.

5.00Darryl was absolutely amazing! So knowledgeable but not boring. We were traveling with our 3 daughters (ages 13, 11, 9), our nephew (16) and my mother (70). He never rushed us and was also a phenomenal photographer! He knew all the best places to get perfect angles for views! We even saw the changing of the guard!
AMAZING experience with ST

5.00Sean Taylor made this an amazing experience. Me and my 15 year old daughter traveled to London together and we had an amazing day with ST. He was very considerate in our plans to accommodate both of our wants. We both felt very comfortable with him right away. I wish I could have him at all of our travel places!

5.00A great way to spend a day getting to know London. Alan tailored our tour to our situation and interests and was an easy going knowledgeable host and guide. We did the tour at the beginning of our visit to London as a great way to get oriented and figure out what else we wanted to do during our stay. I would definitely recommend this experience to others.

5.00Ana Maria was my guide and she was amazing. She really understood what I liked and brought me to many places to experience local culture and iconic sights. She knew all the fun facts and history and I learned so much more than expected. The tour totally took the planning off my hands and I can fully enjoy the experience without figuring out directions. For a first time London visitor, this walking tour gave me a great run down of all the iconic sites and off the beaten path local scene. Highly recommended!
