Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a fantastic experience with our guide John on a 'Royal' Tour of London! He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the city’s history. The tour beautifully combined iconic landmarks with fascinating insights into the Tudors, including a wonderful stop at the National Portrait Gallery. John went above and beyond to personalize the itinerary to our interests, making the whole experience feel tailored and effortless. Communication before and during the tour was excellent, and he was exceptionally kind and accommodating throughout. My wife and I both agreed it was one of the highlights of our trip. We’ll definitely book with John again next time we’re in London. Highly recommended!"
"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."
"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."
"My family’s day with John was amazing. He was very engaging, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He was the perfect host and guide, giving my family a great tour of London. He adapted to the tour to our liking and went out of his way to improve our experience. Anyone would be crazy not to choose him!"
"John was a very knowledge tour guide. He was pleasant and easy to be with. We would go on another tour with him if the occasion occurred. We were particularly interested in Crown history and he fit the bill. "
"John is very knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour very much. Would definitely recommend to anyone."
"We throughly enjoyed our tour with John. We had corresponded a bit before we decided on which tour we would be able to take. John was so pleasant and gave us a lot of information on the possible tours and was as flexible as his schedule permitted. Being that we contacted him on short notice, he was so gracious to do his best to accommodate us. We had our 9 and 7 year sons with us and I was a little nervous how they would act with John. The kids loved it. John was very engaged with them and had them participate in activities while giving us the tour. He even gave them prizes! Johns tour was a highlight for the boys. The Crown tour its self was great! I watch the series so I enjoyed it greatly. My husband does not watch it yet John was able to explain all the history so well to him. Due to it getting dark at around 4:30 John had to rearrange some parts of the tour so it would better suite us and we could get the best out of our time with him. Again he went above and beyond and we were so appreciative. We highly recommend John and his tours. He is so nice and very knowledgeable. He really enjoys giving his tours and it shows."
