Tom is an excellent tourist guide. He was informative and hilarious. It was one of the best tours I have ever experienced.

Tom gave an incredible, information-packed tour, and I’m so glad we booked with him. With just two days in London, he managed to show us the historic highlights and some hidden gems we hadn’t even heard of. He packed so much into the 4-hour itinerary—it was unforgettable!

We had a fantastic tour with our delightful tour guide, Tom. He was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us many incredible details about the city we toured (Shoreditch). Tom was fun, kind, and had a great sense of humor. He did a great job of including the sites and activities we wanted from our tour. This is our 3rd tour with CityUnscripted (Paris, Tokyo, and now London). Every tour guide has been outstanding and left a huge impression on our experience of the area we visited. We look forward to our next destination and CityUnscripted tour! We wouldn't want to visit a town with it. Thank you, Tom/CU team!
