Top tour and top places to go with top person to show you. - I had a wonderful day with David. he picked me up where I was staying as an option for this tour. he was on time and updated me on his stays and things to do. When we got to IWM Duxford he walked me through the most interesting and important planes first and then he left me alone to explore. He is an airplane enthusiast himself which helps appreciate the place more. I cannot recommend him enough. The IWM Duxford and this tour cannot be missed if you are in London. it is a whole day affair since you do have to leave early to avoid traffic and get to how things outside of London looks like on the road.

Brilliant Duxford Air Museum and London Tour - David provided an informative, personalized and fun tour. David was punctual and accounted for our needs. It was unseasonably cold, and David provided gloves and scarves that saved us! David has a well rounded background that provided lively and light conversations. Our main tour was to the Duxford Air Museum, but also included a stop at east side London pub with great atmosphere and an evening tour by car ( it was cold so this was great!) of London to see the sights in the their night lighting.

'Tally Ho' to Duxford IWM ~ Wizard Show !! - David is a most friendly, knowledgeable and engaging host - provided loads of interesting information which prepped me for the tour. We had a spectacular weather which made the day even better - especially for the flying displays. David's passion for the museum and its aircraft made it a wonderful experience. The scoring system will only let me rate him max 5 stars - not enough.. 😁

Greg. Australia. - Wow what a day.From the moment David picked us up in the morning until our return, we were taken care of fantastically.David is so knowledgeable about Duxford, he guided us around the facility, providing valuable information also giving us plenty of time to do our own thing. To see the magical Spitfire do its thing, to hear the R/R Merlin engine roar. Just super. The day finished with David’s secret stop. So good. Great day was had.Local knowledge. Highly recommend.
