What travelers think of this experience

Kathryn Jacqueline, Feb 2025

She 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 :)

It was more like being with a friend than a guide. He provided a lot of information and we joked back and forth.

Nice trip. Local markets were explored with unique food tastings. Infact it was not tasting and we were full by the tour ended

We 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.

Delia was an excellent guide! She tailored our tour to fit our requests perfectly. She arrived early, was really friendly, professional and great time. She was also super knowledgeable, we asked lots of questions and she knew the answers to them all! I would absolutely want to tour with her again!
