5.00Steve was a doll. He took us to see everything we wanted - kept us off the beaten path and shared tons of historical antidotes. The kids loved it! Thanks for making the trip entertaining.
Great welcome to London!

5.00From the start of the convenient pick-up at our hotel, the whole tour was extremely enjoyable, informative, and great fun! Abbey Road, Baker St, & scene sites of Bond films were great to see, but our tour guide, Gordon, was the best part!! His knowledge of the tour topics is awesome, and then he enhanced it by having so many other stories, historical tidbits, anecdotes about London that were interesting and educational, pointing out many other things on the way to us first-time London tourists! He engaged fully with us the whole time, even being willing at the end of the tour to drop us at a fish & chips place, and being quite solicitous of one of us who had some infirmities. Plus, he is an excellent driver!!
The Best Experience in London
