Nikhil was amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. My wife and son felt like he was extended family
Thank you for the wonderful feedback.
We took three tours with this company. On the first tour, we were lucky to have a professional, knowledgeable, and engaging native British guide who was truly excellent. The second guide was also enthusiastic and tried hard to make the experience enjoyable, but we occasionally had difficulty understanding him. Unfortunately, the third experience was disappointing — the person was just a driver, not a guide, and did not accompany us to any of the tour destinations or provide any information. So, if you don’t need a guide and already know everything about your destinations, you’ll be fine — the cars and drivers are excellent. However, we were a bit disappointed, as we were expecting a more guided experience. Additionally, the tour organizers seemed slightly overwhelmed with the planning and coordination. If you do book, be sure to specifically request a certified guide to ensure a more informative and engaging experience.
What a sad review to read from somebody who doesn’t understand what being British means. This truly makes me unhappy as they think being British means white as you can tell from all the other reviews all the Guides who worked for us here no matter their race creed religion or sexuality are amazing just a shame some people can’t see past that and no matter how much the Guides did and how excellent they were nothing was good enough. I feel sorry for the next person who has to take a tour with individuals with a view point like this. As for being overwhelmed, this absolutely made me laugh seeing as we do thousands of tours a year and have been going for a long time I’m pretty sure we know what we’re doing but again some people are just impossible to please and fail to read or understand your clear and very detailed instructions and therefore ask pointless questions again and again when you have already answered them. So when you therefore point out their error, they take it personally and feel the need to score you down on a number of review platforms as their petty way to get back at you.
The guide Jay was a true expert on every site we went to. His style was informative, friendly and interesting. He brought history to life in an easy going yet compelling manner. We also had a new vehicle — which he seemed to know all the best parking spots and places to eat! A great day with the family. Highly recommend!
Wonderful feedback thank you. Jay really is a great guide. Hope you book again on your next trip.
Nick arrived early and was very enthusiastic to show us around, He was extremely knowledgeable, and answered all the many questions we had for him. Played our favorite music on the way home and provided a relaxed but professional atmosphere. Thank you for a wonderful day! We were more than pleased with this tour!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback.
Nikhil Was AMAZING, took wonderful care of my family, not only showed the sites, but had wonderful conversations. My son can’t stop talking about their chats about cars, football(soccer for us Americans) and F1. He even called the owner of a pub to schedule a table for our lunch! 5 stars Amazing!
Lovely feedback glad it went so well.
