We loved our guide and learned so much!
Show moreShe thoughtfully planned out the tour for me based on what I was interested in. She was very knowledgable about the areas we went to and made recommendations for other places to go after my tour and for future trips. The tea and scones we had were also delicious! I will definitely recommend this to anyone I know who is traveling to London :)
Show moreIt was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.
Show moreNice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended
Show moreWe had a long layover in London and decided to take a tour while we waiting for our connecting flight. Our tour guide was super flexible (we ran into some flight delays) and was able to adjust the tour to accommodate our travel requirements for the day. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and Big Ben we got all the highlights in just over 4 hours. It was the perfect way to experience London when you have limited time, or get to know the city at the beginning of a trip.
Show moreFun time in and around the gay neighborhood. Highly recommend. Sandro was friendly and knowledgeable. I think I made a friend!
