Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I attended the private tour with a 15-year old son who’s not really into arts and art history - and Rosa was absolutely fantastic! Even my son found her very interesting and amusing (he tried to hide it). We loved every minute of it, learnt a lot and the three hours just flew by. I definately recommend - the National gallery with Rosa was the highlight of our London trip!"
"We had an outstanding tour of the British Museum with Rosa, and she was easily one of the best guides we’ve ever had anywhere in the world. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and it was clear right away that she knows the museum inside and out. You can tell she spends a lot of time there and truly loves what she does. What made the tour so special was the way she brought everything to life. She didn’t just explain the artifacts, she gave them meaning. She provided the historical background, explained why certain pieces matter, and helped us understand how to look at them in a deeper way. Every stop felt interesting and worthwhile because she gave us the bigger picture behind what we were seeing. We spent about three hours with her, and honestly, it still didn’t feel like enough time. The museum is enormous, and going with a guide is absolutely the best way to experience it. Without someone like Rose, it would be easy to feel overwhelmed or miss many of the highlights. She knew exactly how to navigate the museum efficiently and made the whole visit smooth and enjoyable. On top of all that, she has a great sense of humor, was warm and flexible, and constantly checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We would absolutely book with her again if we return to London for a part two or part three of the museum. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend without hesitation."
"In a short notice, Luciana put the script to the side an accommodate our interest in neighborhoods, the arts and the England socio political history. Great communicator, made us feel at ease all the time. She walk us through St Martins on the Fields exposing us to the church concert series, opportunity that we immediately took and came back the same night for a Vivaldi concert. Thanks Luciana for sharing all the good things. oliva y jose"
"My kids absolutely adored the time with Umar, the review title is a direct qoute. He tailored a perfect tour for us that led us right into our next agenda item "
"We booked a private tour in London specifically for our kids, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Our guide, Jenoe, was absolutely incredible. She brought London’s history to life in a way that completely captivated the kids—from the legends of the ravens at the Tower of London to the unforgettable (and still talked about!) story about the bus driver at Tower Bridge. She mixed in just the right amount of storytelling, hidden spots, and even a little Harry Potter magic, which made everything feel fun and engaging rather than like a typical “tour.” What really stood out was how amazing she was with the kids. She answered all of their questions, kept them interested the entire time, and even had them noticing things like how to spot a Christopher Wren church just by its windows. They still talk about what they learned to this day. Despite a very wet morning, she was so accommodating—making sure we could take breaks when needed and even helping us warm up with a coffee along the way. We booked this for the kids, but honestly, we learned just as much and loved every minute of it. If you’re visiting London with children, I can’t recommend Jenoe enough. This wasn’t just a tour—it was an experience they’ll remember for years."
"We were looking for a good walking tour to do with our 8 and 11 year old grandsons. Umar was fantastic from the minute we met him. He knows exactly how to engage young people as well as keeping it interesting for the adults. He is totally flexible for customizing the experience and just a pleasure to spend time with. The boys are still talking about him. They want to come back to London to see Umar."
"Shane was a wonderful guide for our first experience in London! He took us to the sights we wanted to see most and dropped pieces of history throughout the tour. We learned so much from him! We were traveling with our young kids and he kept them entertained and gave them some fun treats along the way. Thanks for showing us around, Shane!"
"David was fantastic. If you want to learn/see the history of London, David is your guy. We covered a lot of ground but saw so many hidden gems of history in our 3 hour tour. Honestly, we wish it could have been longer. "
"Had a fantastic London neighborhood food tour experience with María Clara. She was easy to communicate with and offered a bespoke experience to suit our preferences. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighbourhood we visited and made the whole tour engaging and enjoyable. It was truly a pleasure spending the afternoon with her. I would highly recommend María Clare to anyone looking to experience exploring unique London neighborhoods and sampling local foods."
"We had a wonderful morning with Cory. He carefully worked with us to craft an amazing introduction to the city. It was like exploring London with an old friend (who loves history, London, and the inside scoop on the royal family!). He knew so much about the city, and also shared some wonderful hidden gems. It was a great way to start our time in London!"
