Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"The tour with John was very informative. John explained history, politics, and gave insights into society as well. I learned many new things and John drew my attention to details and facts I would never have noticed by myself. John was very responsive when planning the tour, and he adapted the tour to my needs. I can highly recommend John for anyone's tour, since he is always trying to get the tour suitable for any of his customers."
"Knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Very good for families who want a local person with historical knowledge who can take the back pathways tourists don’t see. Had a perfect walk around Westminster. "
"John is a very knowledgeable and easy going tour guide, who gives an entertaining and informative tour of London with plenty of anecdotes from The Crown thrown in and more than a few hidden treats. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a tour of London!"
"We had the absolute pleasure of having John as our tour guide during our time in London, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! John’s deep historical knowledge is truly impressive, and his passion for sharing the stories of London’s rich past made the tour both educational and captivating. What truly set John apart, though, were his exceptional interpersonal skills. He has a natural way of connecting with people, making every moment feel relaxed and enjoyable. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, revealing hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots that we would have never discovered on our own. Spending time with John felt less like being on a guided tour and more like exploring the city with a dear friend. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made this an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone looking for a unique and enriching way to experience London!"

"The tour was fantastic! John was extremely knowledgeable about current and prior history which really elevated the tour experience. He took me to some great locations in the show which was awesome because I'm a huge fan of the show. But he also showed important royal sites in general. You won't be disappointed signing up with him!"
"Great tour. John is a very knowledgable and very pleasant guide. I learned a lot about British royal history and the inner-city of London. Great way to explore the city and put the real life images to the scenes in the series The Crown. Overall a great experience!"
"We had a fantastic morning with John! Communication with him before we booked was great. My mom is elderly and moves slow so I wanted to make sure she could do all the walking. John was very accommodating and made adjustments for her as needed. John's love of history and all things royal shone through on this tour and he made us feel like we were part of history. Don't hesitate! Just book the tour with John! We would definitely book again if we came back to London."
"Very broad-reaching tour, we were able to see a lot of the city. Learned some great fun facts too!"
"My husband and I took a tour with John and had a great time. We learned a lot about the history, the cities within greater London, and the key landmarks to see as well as where the Crown was filmed. "
"Jon was absolutely the best tour guide we have ever had and we do walking tours every time we travel. He was so knowledgeable about London and also gave us insight into the crown. Personalized our tour to what fit us the most. He was Very kind and warm and we saw so much in 2 1/2 hours more than probably many tours for half a day. Highly recommend as well as with tours company. In fact, we will be looking for them no matter what city we visit next!"
