London in One Day Tour - The tour was informative and very enjoyable especially because of the knowledge, thoughtfulness, and patience of our Evan Evans guide Sheila and her skillful driver Idriss. There were challenges because of unexpected road closures due to royal, sports, and protest activities, but Sheila and Idriss deftly navigated through. We enjoyed a royal military parade, a pleasant drive around and through London, a guided tour of the Tower of London, and a cruise up the Thames. Sheila kept us informed, amused, and was careful to make sure nobody was left behind. We are happy to endorse Sheila and Evan Evans tours.

London in One Day Tour - This tour was wonderful! We took it on a Sunday and the city was quiet with not much traffic. We zipped here and there with no trouble and were even able to get into St. Paul’s between services to see the inside of this incredible cathedral. Our guide Sheila was fun and knowledgeable. We especially enjoyed her stories at the Tower of London! We ended the tour with a Thames River Cruise from the Tower to the London Eye, then a turn on the Eye. A wonderful way to spend a day in London!

Great way to see London with limited time. - Eileen was a walking encyclopedia and could answer all our questions. She had fun stories to tell us aside from what one would normally hear. She moved us through so we could see everything we’d come to see and it really encompasses everything we’d hoped to see as well as more. I would highly recommend you take this tour. Just put on your most comfortable walking shoes, because you will do quite a lot of walking and standing in que. (Never in que for very long, however.)

A great way to see London in a day - David was an excellent guide and the tour had a nice pace. We enjoyed the travel around town and loved our stops at St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London. The river cruise and the London Eye were also highlights of the day. The only caution is that the tour advertises a viewing of the “changing of the guard” but that doesn’t happen every day. We took the tour on a Thursday and the ceremony currently doesn’t happen on Tuesday or Thursday. Nevertheless, we would highly recommend this tour.

See and learn about London with Omar. - Omar is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgable with an excellent way in delivering the historical facts to make the trip very interesting. Ending the excursion with the boat trip down the Thames was worth the price of the tour.

Excellent full day London tour! - Had a great tour with Armyn as our tour guide. He was fantastic! Knew every detail and very entertaining. We had a short time in London so doing the full day tour was the best way to see the sights. The only disappointment was not seeing changing of the guards nor the horses. I understand schedules change but seeing one of these would’ve made my review a five star. Would highly recommend this tour.
