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.

Great Tour - We had an excellent tour of the major sites of London. Stuart was an engaging and knowledgable host who really knew the city of London. He entertained us with stories of his encounters with the famous, and took us to many out of the way spots that we would never have found on our own and in general was an amazing guide to the city! I would highly recommend him as the perfect guide to really introduce travelers to the city of London and its history.

Amazing!! - Sean-Taylor, the local I was matched with, was absolutely phenomenal! Very kind, knowledgeable and willing to go and see/do anything I could think of in London. I would have never been able to see even a fraction of what we got through had I gone alone. Amazing experience which I would highly recommend to anyone!

Great Local Guide! - One of my favorite things to do when I visit a city is to get away from the crowded touristy areas and see where the locals live, work and play. This tour was perfect for that and Tem was an excellent guide! He provided a mix of history as well as information on local attractions, restaurants, nightlife and the culture of Brixton in general. Tem was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to talk to and never seemed to tire of my unending questions. I will recommend him to any of my friends interested in learning more about Brixton.

City of London - Becky was our guide on City of London tour last week. We had great time having her as our guide. We saw many unknown plazas, centers that we could not have visited on our own, for example, the bar Charles Dickens visited, and the plaza that reminded us of Venice near St. Martins, Picadilly square and many more. All in all it was time spent well on the tour.

Personalized Tour - I took the "Private Custom London Tour with a Local". My tour guide was Beata (Bea) and she was awesome. It supposed to be me and 2 others but they canceled at the last moment so I went solo with Bea. We had a great tour and hit all the sites. I had purchased an all day pass at the airport that morning to get to London and used it on the tour to jump on busses and the subway and then to get back to my airport hotel, that worked out great for 24 pounds. We hit all the sites I wanted to see including Big Ben, Cathedrals, Buckingham Palace, Harry Potter locations and many others. We stopped for hot chocolate along the way to take a brief rest. It was an awesome day and she was an awesome guide

Knowledgeable local & guide - We enjoyed our tour around London with Naomi, she had colorful background on the kings and queens, their scandals and how many buildings came to be in our tour area. She was flexible with us on time as our plane arrived that morning and we needed to end the tour near our hotel (and early) so this was appreciated. Thank you!
