London Rock 'n Roll Tour - I met Simon when we booked a tour with him a couple of years ago on my very first visit to London. When I found out I'd be returning to London my first order of business was to reach out to Simon and book another tour. Simon is knowledgeable, funny, friendly and just an all-around good guy. We had an amazing experience. If you're going to London do yourself a favor and book a tour with Simon. I promise you it will be the highlight of your visit and you'll make a great new friend. In my book Simon is every bit as an iconic part of London as any of the sights he'll show you.

Lovely private tour experience with Simon! - We had an amazing private tour of London with our host Simon! First off, our alarm didn’t go off so we overslept; he was so kind and understanding about it and waited 30 minutes for us to get ready and start the tour. Simon picked us up at our hotel to begin the tour; he asked us where we wanted to conclude the tour as well. He took us all over London and made certain we were able to see everything we wanted to. The photos he took of us throughout the day were very professional and it was nice to have someone take care of that for us. ( great pics!!) At one point in our 5- hour tour, I started getting a headache. It was Simon to the rescue with headache medicine and a bottled water. He is most prepared to his tour guests too. He’s a wealth of knowledge on London history and made the day such an enjoyable experience. He was a referral from a friend of ours who toured with him a few months prior. It was worth the money for a custom tour experience!! If you want a quality tour; this is the one to book!!

Simon’s Tour Was Incredible - Simon was so wonderful and he was so incredibly knowledgeable about everything. He took us places we were not even expecting to go and we learned so much about the city! It was well worth the money that we spent and I highly recommended to anyone visiting London especially for the first time!

The only tour you should book. - This was a phenomenal tour for many reasons. Simon picked us up, on time (he was actually early). He took us all over London seeing a real mixture of sites, some familiar to us, others not so. Whilst I booked a half day history tour, it was tailor-made for our group. Simon listened to what my husband was interested in and adapted the places we visited accordingly. This was very much appreciated. As well as this, he was able to find places for comfort breaks and caffeine top-ups when asked. Simon’s knowledge was incredible. He knew so much about London today as well as its history and he shared this in a funny and engaging way. He was such a kind and intelligent man and a real pleasure to spend the day with. If you are looking to book a guided tour of London, I would thoroughly recommend Simon for not only will you receive a professional and educational experience, you will have a fantastic time too.

Fabulous way to see the sites - This tour exceeded all of our expectations. If you only have a day to spend in London or you want to get the lay of land so you can decide where you would like to spend more time there is no better tour. Simon was exceptional and he accommodated our every need. His knowledge and passion for London is unsurpassed. He is a great communicator and kept me in for from the moment I booked until we took the tour. He allowed us to determine the tour start time, he took us to some wonderful shopping experiences, and ensured we were able to enjoy great dining. I would give this tour 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend.

London 3 hour tour! - We did a tour last June of 2023 with Simon and it was fantastic. This year, Simon was unavailable; however, he connected us with Martin, a fellow driver who was fantastic as well. The tour, landmarks, photos, and genuine hospitality were superb!! Definitely recommend and would do again!!

Worth it! - What a great way to spend our first day in London. Simon is extremely personable and knowledgeable of the city and knows all the great spots (and takes your photos for you as well!) It was very convenient, stress free and fun touring in his black cab. I highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking, we had a wonderful time and would book again!

A Great Way to See London - We are a family of 4 (parents and two adult children) and booked a 5 hour tour with Simon. This was our first visit to London and I can't imagine a better introduction. Aside from his expert navigation skills, Simon designed the tour to meet our needs and preferences, stopping regularly to allow shopping, sight seeing, pictures, etc. He paced the tour perfectly with well timed stops. Simon is personable and has a great sense of humor (required for our family) Along the way, Simon provided information about what we were seeing, a bit of history, and lots of local information, as well as recommendations for museums, tours, restaurants, pubs. etc. We had a great tour and highly recommend Simon.
