We had an excellent tour of the major sites of London. Stuart was an engaging and knowledgable host who really knew the city of London. He entertained us with stories of his encounters with the famous, and took us to many out of the way spots that we would never have found on our own and in general was an amazing guide to the city! I would highly recommend him as the perfect guide to really introduce travelers to the city of London and its history.

Although I have been to London a few times as an adult, I decided to book a tour for my wife and kids who had never visited. It was a great decision! Our host Stuart, a born and raised Londoner, provided so much colour to our tour and told some great stories about the city. On top of showing us the essentials for first-time visitors, Stuart also arranged for some more hidden treasures along the way. He was friendly, knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The kids really enjoyed his company and felt that the tour also gave them a very good feel for the city on our first day. I recommend not only for first-time visitors but even for those who think they know the city - very enjoyable day!!
