What travelers are saying
Pleasant tour of the city to get us acquainted with the city. Guide was flexible and easygoing while very knowledgeable.
Andy was so knowledgeable! Great tour!
Jamie was a great tour guide! He was quite knowledgeable & took the time to explain everything we saw & answer any questions.
We also engaged the Stonehenge, Bath and Cotswold tour for a full day. Ozzie was a superb guide; he was so knowledgable, so immersed in the history of Stonehenge and that period of English history that he made every stop along during the day completely fascinating. Excellent guide, excellent driver, a most pleasant companion for a day-long trip.
Our guide, Dani, was excellent! She was engaging, funny and full of random facts about the venues we visited. She was most impressive. We made a thorough investigation of all the areas of interest in Westminster...walking and talking the entire way. A Five =Star rating!
