Nathaniel was amazing, his knowledge was 100%. We didn’t need to ask any questions for he told us everything we needed to know . Thankyou Nathaniel , we recommend him 100%
Nicolas was the best. Very informative and even shared some tips n tricks while you navigate your trip. Would do it again.
Nathanial was an amazing tour guide, he was very knowledgeable & friendly. When we finished the tour I had no questions as he had given us all the information 😀
Very well done. You do see most of the popular sites. The short tube ride added to the experience. Very simple to use the tube. Nathaniel was a great guide and I would rank him as one of the best I’ve had over the years. He was extremely knowledgeable and was always looking out for members of the group in crowded areas. He is s five star guide.
We had an absolutely wonderful walking tour of London with Nathaniel! He did an outstanding job—knowledgeable, engaging, and so much fun. We learned so much about London while having a great time along the way. Highly recommend Nathaniel and this tour!
Our tour guide Nathaniel was excellent. He was very educational and interesting with lots of sites to behold.
Nicolas was amazing! Not only was he informative, he went above and beyond, specifically with our group, which had some older folks. He ensured everyone was always together, he looked out for our safety as a whole, and he was fun! We would give stars of posible, and would recommend his tour to anyone. Thank you Nicolas!
It was great. Thank you Jack for your knowledge, enthusiasm and the fun tour. We had an amazing time.
My 14 year old son and I really enjoyed everything we saw on this tour which covered almost everything you’d want to see in London. We used it to get fit for the rest of our time and learn what we’d like to investigate in more detail (this tour does not include entries to sites). The highlight was our guide, Owen, who was knowledgeable, patient and quite funny. He’s more real person than polished professional, so it was more like being shown everything by a friend in town than some stranger checking boxes. I’d recommend and especially if you can book with Owen.
The five hour tour was excellent! The pacing is well thought out and we were taken strategically to get into the best spot for the major attractions like the changing of the guards. There may be a huge crowd but we managed very comfortably. This tour is appropriate for all ages and abilities. Our tour guide, Nathaniel made this all seamless. He was friendly, professional and accommodating and funny! Especially with the humour he injects in his toka about the spots we visit. Worth the money’s worth and will bring may family the next time I visit London.
