Something to Crow About in Shoreditch - We were fortunate in many ways. No rain, beautiful weather and it was early so the streets were not crowded. But what made our tour unforgettable was our guide Crow. From the moment we met him in the hotel lobby he was interesting, informed and insightful. He regaled us with tales from both past and present - he was an absolute delight to be around. The kind of person we would love to meet again for a drink or a tour of a music venue or an art gallery. Travel is in many ways the elixir of life and when you meet someone who guides you to make your visit that much more memorable you know you hit the jackpot. We did.

London tour in may - We enjoyed the experience. It was a nice tour of London with lots of sights so as typical London food and drinks. The best part of the tour was the great professional pictures of us with the landmark of London. Thanks you!

Great experience - Imagine being guided around London for your first visit with a good friend-- if your friend knew London better than Google Maps. That’s Becky Johns. Becky was flexible, attentive to our preferences and willing to improvise to keep things fresh. She took us to places we would have never seen on our own with a warm touch that made us feel we were being shown around by a personal friend rather than a seen-it-all hardened guide. Becky’s other reviews made me think she’d be well informed, which is definitely is, but I was not prepared to laugh as much as we did. Her knowledge ran from history to film locations to how to find a proper pub. Cannot recommend Becky more. Hire Becky if you want to know all about London with a personal touch.

A lively area in the sound of London with a remarkable man - Hi there. When I told Londoners I've visited Brixton, they confirmed this really is a vivid area in the South of London ! My personal guide, Richard, is the right one to have you introduced in this diverse community with lots of history. We met at the mural of David Bowie, near to Brxton tube and Richard started to talk about the area and its inhabitants. He took me to electric street where food stores were opening and I admired the diversity of food and people who are working overthere. Richard talked me about the history of Brixton riots in the Eighties, about black history in London and about gentrification now. We took our time to visit local shops and Richard advised me to buy a little book about unknown London in a second hand bookshop. It seemed to me a lot of local people knew him (and he knew them). Although I preferred to have my guided tour in the morning, we could see a glimpse of Brixton container village where Pop Brixton is taking place. At the end of the tour we ended this remarkable morning with a remarkable guide on a terrace of a little pub near the railway station. Richard paid for the drinks and I could continue my trip in London with a big smile. Thanks Richard ! Tom

A delightful day with Delia! - Our day with Delia in London was fabulous! She met us in the lobby of our hotel and took us to all of the must-see spots, including the Palace of Westminster, the London Eye, Big Ben, Parliament Square, St James Park, Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, The Parish Church of St Stephen Walbrook, St Paul’s Cathedral, London Bridge, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, Tate Modern, the Shard, Shakespeare’s Globe Theater and more! Delia shared great insights about each of the sights and had abundant historical knowledge of these treasures. We stopped along the way for coffee/tea at some quaint cafes and had a plethora of choices at Borough Market for lunch. Thanks to Delia’s impeccable timing, we were able to see the King himself drive past, on his way to Buckingham Palace!! Clearly the highlight of the day! With Delia, we felt as if we were traveling with a trusted friend. She interacted with every member of our family throughout the day and made it so easy to ask questions. We never felt rushed and had plenty of time to take pictures. Despite the rain, it was a delightful day and one we won’t soon forget. Much thanks to Delia for her kindness, her hospitality, and her vast knowledge of her beautiful city!

great for the london first timer! - Ana Maria's tour of London was unforgettable. She catered every moment of the tour to what our group wanted to see and do and what we were into! Some of the group was into food and she took us to some amazing food options. Some were into soccer and she took us to those sights as well. I'm already recommending her services to family members visiting later this year. Thanks for an amazing day!

Great London Startup - Dalia was a wonderful guide who introduced us to London on a beautiful Friday afternoon walk. We walked thru Covent Garden and Soho districts, stopped by Trafalgar Square and Picadilly Circus, and ended close to Regent Street shopping district. Great way to start our London vacation! She was knowledgeable and insightful! We will certainly recommend this tour to our friends back home.
