Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We loved our tour with Anthony. Plenty of laughs, lots of sights and information. Anthony has lived in London his entire life so his knowledge was fantastic. Had a great time. Thanks Anthony "
"Our tour with Anthony was outstanding! He was prompt, engaging, and shared fascinating insights and little-known stories not found in history books. Anthony gave us a choice of touring traditional sights or a more local experience, we chose the latter and it did not disappoint! He showed us hidden gems only a true local would know. His food recommendations were spot-on, and it was clear he was familiar and respected in the neighborhood. All three generations on our trip found the tour enjoyable and Anthony a pleasure. Weâve taken many tours and Anthony was one of the best guides weâve ever had!"
"Sorcha is amazing!! A great tour guide that is able to adapt to anything and anyone. She offers an excellent experience, an abundance of knowledge, is great with teens, and passionate about sharing her love of all things London. \nThis never felt like \"just a tour\". It was an enriching experience that made our trip better than expected. "
"This was our 1st private tour and we certainly picked the right guide! Anthony was knowledgeable, friendly and funny. We will definitely be booking with him again when we return to London and will definitely recommend him to friends. Thank you Anthony for a great day! "
"Chris was fantastic! Lot of insightful tidbits of the city's history and landmarks during an almost 6 mile trek around the heart of London. Just what we where looking for and that will help us dive deeper exploring London on the remaining days of our trip. I would highly reccomend Chris if you want to learn about London. "
"Sorcha was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of London. She met us at our hotel and we explored by foot around London as she showed us many, many historical spots. "
"Our tour with Anthony was awesome! His enthusiasm and knowledge about London is amazing. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Loved how he could tell us all these little unknown facts and alleged rumours about different parts or buildings. Good combination of big tourist sites and hidden gems."
"Chris was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. He showed us many hidden sight and out of the way gems. Weâd never know this side of London otherwise.\nHe was great and it was a perfect way to get acquainted with this wonderful city."
"Anthony was interesting, engaging, and a wealth of knowledge - full of detailed stories about the lesser known history of London. We originally booked a âtop attractionsâ tour - Westminster, etc. However when we met he gave us an alternative option to go to a lesser known but deeply historical area - and we were so glad we chose the alternative! We walked around an area of the city that we never wouldâve gone to and learned some fascinating history about some key lesser known sites. We also had two kids in tow- ages 9 and 7 - and Anthony consistently made efforts to keep them engaged with interesting - plus dash of morbidity - tales, which they loved. Overall I would highly recommend him, and the next time we go back we will definitely be booking a food tour with him as he also had a deep knowledge of all the great spots in the area (boroughs market was a highlight)."
"Sorcha was knowledgeable, great fun, engaging, witty and attentive. She safely guided us through Londons interesting bits while adapting to our unique travel style. Had direct connections with many of the places we went and provided lots of great insight. Dont miss the best salt beef sandwhich in London!"
