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.

Simon is the BEST! - My wife and I used Simon for a Big Sights Half Day 5 Hour Tour. We LOVED it! Simon is so nice, knowledgeable and professional. He works hard the whole way from the moment you book to create a good experience and his communication is thorough. His customer service is above and beyond. He gives you an incredible tour of London with loads of good information and great picture spots. I will definitely use him again and would love to do some of his other tours.
