    An Unforgettable Day in London with Tom

    "We did The London Through the Ages tour in London with Tom and we absolutely loved it. He was incredibly knowledgeable about history and had so many fascinating stories that brought everything to life. Tom was charming, attentive, and made the tour feel completely tailored to us. He showed us hidden gems beyond the usual tourist spots and gave us fantastic recommendations for restaurants and things to do. The entire day was informative, fun, and memorable. Highly recommend Tom! "

    Amazing!!! Worth every penny spent!

    "We met up with Tom at our hotel and right out the door we were learning about the amazing history of London! He was so knowledgeable and fun in his descriptions of how he explained everything to us. We wanted to see certain things that were off the beaten path and he made it happen. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any of his tours! He was so much fun and personable, he was even our photographer for the day and took some amazing pictures and sent them to us! It was so much fun!"

    10 out of 10 tour!

    "We spent 6 hours on a private tour with Tom & the time absolutely flew by! We had some specific requests that Tom skillfully added to the tour, and we were able to visit most of our ‘bucket list” sights, leaving us more free time to explore further on our own on the following days of our trip. Tom is a gifted storyteller who instantly makes you feel welcome & at ease. I highly recommend his tours- and don’t be afraid to ask for something custom tailored to your interests!"

    Traveling with Tom

    "Tom is indeed a great storyteller. The tour wasn’t exactly what I had imagined from the description, but that wasn’t Tom’s fault. It was lots and lots of information, but I was of thinking we would be more interactive with the venues somehow. We didn’t see the Globe, and much time was spent on the architecture around the city. I did mention I wasn’t a big meat eater, and the restaurant Tom chose definitely wasn’t a good fit for me. I wish Tom has offered other options when I mentioned this, but I could have been more assertive. Tom definitely knows his history! I would say this tour was educational!"

    Great spots, delightful!

    "We very much enjoyed this tour with Anthony. We had booked the Fish&Chips/medieval London tour and it was a very good mix of enjoying great food at Borough Market and seeing hidden gems of London. Worth every penny. Also our 12-year old son really liked it. We can fully recommend it."
