Great Tour by a great person

5.00John G was an excellent driver and tour guide. I had been to London several times with my wife, but my parents had never been. I booked this tour to show them some of the most important landmarks in a short amount of time. The private tour was great and John was fantastic. He had a great personality, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about this history. He threw in countless tidbits of information throughout our trip that kept us engaged during the specific visits and while in transit to the specific destinations. I would strongly recommend this tour and specifically, John for anyone looking to explore London in a private setting and in a short period of time. The 4 hour tour (which sounded long when I booked it) actually flew by. Credit to John and credit to the carefully curated itinerary. We had a wonderful time and made memories to last a lifetime.
Great way to see London

5.00Great way to see all the sights and get the history behind it. Our driver Seb even went out of his way to take us to a specific place and the post office!
Great experience!

5.00Paul did a wonderful job of showing us so many of the highlights of London -- from the most famous landmarks to delightful hidden gems along the way. It was more than we could have ever hoped to have done on our own. He even dropped us off near a great pub near our subway line.
Great way to see London

5.00Jeremy was incredible - so knowledgeable about everything in the city and tailored the tour to the interests of people in our family. He even snuck in a fun activity for my tween/teen boys. We had a great time

5.00We had a private tour with Matt and he was amazing! He accommodated us in every way. Even stopping for a great cup of Java along the way. He was so knowledgeable and personable. We were able to see all of the sights and historical places that we wanted in one morning and early afternoon. Thanks Matt
Book with Jeremy!

5.00We got the pleasure of riding in Jeremy’s cab and it was a 10/10 experience. He showed us the big sights of London, of course, but more importantly he took the time to show us his favorite places that would often be overlooked. He gave us restaurant recommendations, anecdotes about people who lived where we were touring, and made everything so special. We wish the tour could have been longer! We hope to meet again when we come back with our twins.
Great!

5.00Can’t say enough good things about our tour with Patrick! We were only in London from the US for a short number of days and it was the first time in London for our two teens. We wanted a tour of the highlights to introduce them to the city and wanted to learn some facts about the sites we were seeing. Patrick exceeded our expectations! He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared facts and history about the sites and other things along the way that appealed to us and to our teens and kept them engaged and interested. It was like driving around the city with an old family friend. Would absolutely recommend to anyone. And would happily do another tour offered whenever we make it back to London. So happy we booked this tour! Thank you, Patrick!!!
Must Do!
