Perfect Tour! - Peter was the best! Lots of personal insights and humour. The tour was well organized and the times at each spot were appropriate. The driver was amazing. Sean/Shawn backed up expertly down a street because of a closure. I would use the company again.

Highly Recommended Highlights Tour - Fabulous day covering top London highlights. If you have limited time to see London, this is the excursion to book. Bonus was tour leader, Frank. Entertaining and so knowledgeable!

Small groups are better!! - This is a very full day (7:30am to 5pm) that hit all of the best/must see sights in London. Our guide, Frank, was absolutely THE BEST!! The small group size of 8 was perfect because it allowed us to stay on schedule all day long and not have to skip anything at the end. Don't go with the companies who book up 50 or more people in a group because you will lose quality. And if you get the chance to choose your guide, ask for Frank. He knows all the best tips for a memorable experience on your tour.

Fantastic tour for a first visit to London - I would highly recommend this day trip. Our tour guide Frank was fantastic. We packed so many great things into this one day. Our favourite part was visiting the Tower of London. This tour ticked off so many things on our to-do list for our very first visit to London. Excellent

Great tour and experience - This was a great trip and our tour guide John was fabulous. We were able to hit up so many spots in London that was on our list. We didn’t feel rushed and pushed from one thing to another without time to enjoy it. Only down fall on this specific day we went the changing of the guard was canceled without notice, so we missed that, but not at the tours fault. I definitely encourage you to book this London experience.

OK, but disappointed. - Had this tour booked and it was cancelled three days before scheduled date. Offered and accepted alternate available ( Stonehenge, Windsor Castle, and Bath from London) which was just 'OK', we really did not want to spend the time going to Stonehenge and just wanted a tour of the city. Honestly, we were definitely disappointed. There was confusion as our itinerary did not change online or via the app as to our new tour details and had to figure it out on our own. Just a word of caution to consumers, they will and do cancel tours and leave you with confusing and inadequate details of the changes.
