Absolute best 5-hour London tour! Request Lee! We had a 24-hour stopover on our way to Italy, so I booked a tour of London highlights. As someone in the travel industry, I usually avoid long (4-5 hour) tours, but Lee kept us completely engaged from start to finish! He truly knows London's ins and outs. I highly recommend this tour—make sure you request Lee as your guide! He also knows the best pubs for a local beer and snack! Thank you for a great 24 hours in London...Wendy and the Travel Gang!

I already sent in a glowing review of our guide Gary Palmer. He's amazing and a great asset to your company. Please reference my previous review for more details of the great day we had!

What a great time we had with Gary Palmer! He was in touch prior to our tour and was waiting for us right on time--actually a bit early! He was most engaging, knowledgable and great fun! We felt like we were old friends--the banter and laughs made the tour that much more enjoyable. He showed us all over London and we learned tons of cool information! He is a great asset to your company!

Lee was extremely knowledable and accommodating. He really listed to our wants and made sure out tour was exactly what we were hoping for. I appreciate all the knowledge of the area and sites he shared. I would 100% recommend the tour. With only 2 days to see the sights of the city...he made sure we got to see the most possible with our time.

From my clients: The taxi tour on Sunday was amazing. Paul was our driver and he was perfect. We saw many things about London and heard a lot of history. We had called the company earlier to find out about getting a black cab to take us to Heathrow. After our tour, Paul took us back to our hotel to get our luggage which was being held, then he drove us to Heathrow. That was very nice.

Simon was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and amazing. We were able to see everything on the list and more! Because of his strategic planning and getting to know us, we were able to get see the changing of the guards. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable! We learned so much and had so much fun doing so. When we come back I will request to do a tour with him again. His tour will be one of top highlights from this trip for sure!!
