My family and I first became acquainted with Barry two years ago when we booked a Beatles tour. He was insightful and we learned so much from him. He wasn’t just driving us around he was educating us about a time in history that was significant for rock n roll. He was great! We recently returned to London but before we left NY, we booked two tours with Barry. We did the London Highlights and a Cotswold tour. Barry provided great insights and what we were most amazed by was his incredible knowledge of history. We are impressed by his ability to make us comfortable (his car is super clean and cozy), his willingness to answer all our questions and his patience as we sometimes took longer going through shop. We highly encourage anyone visiting London to consider taking a tour with Barry. You can’t go wrong and you will be very pleased with his selection of tours. He had become an honorary member of our family and since we will be returning next year to London we look forward to seeing him again.
Hi Elvis and the Band! Thank you so much for the review and recommendation of Barry Tours. We did enjoy a couple of amazing days in glorious British sunshine 🌞 and I , in turn cherished the time spent with you Brooklyn guys and look forward to your return next year!! Kind wishes Barry
A wonderful view of London from a taxi and Danny as our guide. We were able to tailor the day to our interests--less tourist events and more of the neighborhood sites. Danny was a very gracious host and tour guide, always requesting that his descriptions and explanations were adequate to our understanding. Too, he was always warm and friendly. His delivery was sensible and with a warm sense of humor.
Hi Leslie So good of you to persevere with leaving us a tour review . Really appreciate your efforts. Yes, Danny is a great guide and smashing chap who always goes the extra mile. We are always able to customise and bespoke our tours to suit individual tastes. Come back soon BarryTours
