We had a wonderful day with Becky our tour guide. She was a joy to be around and took us all over London. We were able to see all the main spots and showed us some hidden spots. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than a tour. I highly recommend this tour and specifically Becky. Thanks

Well, we experienced another awesome experience touring London in the capable hands of Delia Ray. Her preparation and plans for the day were outstanding and allowed us to explore a tremendous amount of venues that nicely set us up for subsequent touring on our own. And what a delightful and charming lady to spend the day with. She was both an educator and friend that made the day fly by much too fast. We certainly learned a lot of history previously unknown to us! We are thankful for knowing her.

Darryl was the perfect guide for our whirlwind tour of London. He was in regular communication in the weeks and months leading up to our tour, and the entire experience was personalized and perfect. Darryl even checked in with us the next day, and gave us tips for the rest of our stay.
