    Matt is the best!

    "We had the best highlights and hidden gems tour with Matt! He customized the tour to our schedule, sights we were interested in seeing and our 3 kids. He shared many hidden gems and was very knowledgeable and passionate about London’s history. Matt even delivered us to our lunch reservation spot on time and provided us additional insights on what else to see and do after the tour. Matt is a treasure himself and we will definitely tour with him again when we return to London! "

    Fantastic and well worth the price!

    "Highly recommend for anyone touring with kids! Jenoe is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable and engaging. We had contacted her beforehand about our slow to warm up 6 year old - listed some of his interests - and she tailored our tour. She also honed in on his love of numbers and had a points reward system which got him engaged from the start. We are so glad we made the investment to do this private, family friendly tour with Jenoe - we suspect if we had just done the run of the mill "free walking tour" we would have dealt with a very cranky and reluctant 6 year old (while toting around a baby too!). Thank you for making our son's first walking tour so memorable Jenoe!"

    Great tour with Sorcha

    "Sorcha took the time to ask us in advance what we were interested in and produced one of the best tours we have ever been on. She knew her audience and somehow kept my 13 year old not only engaged, but inspired and challenged to look at history with a new perspective. We could have spent days with her. "
