"We had the absolute pleasure of taking a private 2.5-hour tour of London with Chris, and it exceeded all of our expectations! The tour was a birthday gift for my husband, who had lived in London for nearly two years. I thought it might be difficult to surprise him, but Chris did an incredible job of curating a unique and highly personalised experience that catered to his interests and needs.
Chris shared so many fascinating facts and little-known details about London that even my husband, with his familiarity with the city, was thoroughly impressed and delighted. His passion for the city's history and culture really shone through, and his engaging storytelling made the experience truly unforgettable.
He was thrilled with this thoughtful and informative tour, and I couldn’t have asked for a better gift for him. Thank you, Chris, for making this such a memorable day for both of us. Highly recommended!"
"David’s tour of London was fantastic. Great stories and very knowledgeable about the history. Our family of 4 with 2 teens was entertained the entire time. "
"I completed the Highlights & Hidden Gems of London tour with María Clara and had an amazing time! I was only in London for about 36 hours and really wanted to maximize my time in the city, and this tour couldn't have been a better choice. María Clara is extremely knowledgable about the culture of London—including food, music, art, etc.—in terms of both the tourist attractions as well as lesser known aspects of the city. She also has deep historical knowledge and provided context for every place we visited. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested!"

Wonderful afternoon exploring!
"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!"
"David was an excellent guide for us in this sunny, but cold November day. Although some of us had been to London numerous times,everything we saw and learned about was new to us.
David has an impressive knowledge of architecture and history, and also with regards to the history related to popular culture over the decades. Not at least, he did it with humor and wit, and conveyed some hilarious anecdotes along the way! We were truly impressed, and felt extremely lucky we got such a great guide.
We highly recommend David!"

He showed me so many sights and shared all the stories of the history and tidbits I’d never have learned otherwise. Also gave me tips on so many other things that helped my days in London go much more smoothly. Would join Cory again any time!"
