Ian was our driver/tour guide and was extremely knowledgeable throughout our 4 hour London tour. He took us to many places that a lot of tourists would never discover on their own along with all the many standard sites included in the tour. He even dropped us off at our requested central London location instead of back at our hotel as we had initially requested when making our reservation.
The tour was great and perfect for showing our elderly family members around while they were visiting. We got to see all the main tourist hotspots without the hassle and walking involved with traditional hop-on-hop-off bus tours. John G was friendly, knowledgeable, and informative throughout. Definitely recommend this tour!
Mark was very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding the culture and the history of London and England. Thank you!!
Excellent!! What better way to get an over view of London than from a 30+ year veteran black taxi driver.
A great 2hr tour of the Westminster area of London….perfect for my family where we didn’t have a ton of travel days in London. Terry was awesome and gave an authentic experience/insights given his years as a taxi driver in the city.
Excellent coverage of London. Wonderful guide, Steve. Well worth doing. Took 4 hour tour and it was sufficient.
Super nice tour with a very nice driver named Jim. He knew the city like the back of his hand after 25 years as a taxi driver and has been doing tours for years. Clear English and a very good driver too who knows the way well and therefore you are faster to destinations.
Dave was so great. Our flight was cancelled so we arrived 24 hrs later than expected. Dave allowed us a 2 hour later start so we could shower after 24 hrs in airport terminal. He gave us a private tour on things we enjoyed. Dropped us off for fish and chips, quick souvenir stop as well as all the highlights. We had 6 adults 3 with less mobility than the others. He allowed all to participate.
The tour was amazing! I felt like I got a full understanding of the city. Our tour guide Steven Deniro was very knowledgeable, funny, and pleasant
Our tour and tour guide, Steve Dinero, were excellent! Funny, extremely knowledgeable, and all around very likable. Saw all the big stuff and learned a lot about the city. 100% recommend!
