Excellent tour of royal London - Jack is an Oxford educated archaeologist and historian. He brought to life the history of England. We strongly recommend this tour and his company BespokeBritain.com.

Above and beyond just a private tour! Highly recommend Jack and his team for the best experiences. - We met Jack through our agent at Travel Theory. Together they planned a 9 day itinerary for our family.
Jack took us on several private tours: Tourist sights throughout London, Borough Market, Oxford, and Windsor Castle. Jack took the time to get to know our family and our interests. From there he customized our tour, being completely flexible as needed. Jack was born and raised in London, graduated from Oxford University and well educated about the history and culture of the UK.
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience as he also coordinated with our driver and was available to us for any tips for the rest of our vacation. He even helped us find another flat when our initial one was we checked into was a disaster.
Jack shared so much knowledge and kept us entertained throughout our week with him. He kept the tour moving throughout and pointed out things we would have otherwise missed. He was the perfect guide to have taken us to Oxford as a graduate of such a prestigious university.
We would highly recommend Bespoke Britain for all of your travel tours. Our time with Jack was the highlight of our vacation.

Fantastic experience for the whole family. - Exceptionally well-crafted walking tour of Buckingham Palace and Westminster areas. Jack, our guide, was as professional as he was friendly. He effortlessly navigated between erudite historical facts and fun anecdotes. He was also able to answer all the kids’ quirky questions and went out of his way to make sure they had the best spots to view the changing of the Guard. Excellent tour catered to our expectations. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience for both long-time Londoners and visitors! - I booked Bespoke Britain's Royal London tour for my boyfriend (a history lover) for our anniversary. It was the perfect gift! We both live in London and spend a lot of time in the areas covered by the tour, but even still we learned loads of new things from Jack! He's a knowledgeable and dynamic tour guide who is great at managing timing and coming up with customised tour components (we are both Americans, so Jack was sure to include several US-specific stops). I would recommend Bespoke Britain to anyone - both long-time Londoners looking for a fun day out or those visiting the city and wanting to learn more about its history!

Great way to see the city - We were so happy with the Chelsea tour that we booked a full day private guided tour with Jack and the wonderful cabbie Neil. This was the highlight of my family's stay in London. Jack is a wonderfully entertaining and knowledgeable tour guide whose enthusiasm for his city is infectious. We visited the Tower of London, Soho, Churchill War rooms and had high Tea at Woolsley's. The private cab was a great choice as Neil is equally knowledgeable (and funny!) about London and had a different perspective on the sites in the city. Book a tour with this company - you won't regret it.

On the fence? Absolutely go for it!! - This is THE way to see London! Jack was an incredible tour guide who took us through a clearly well planned and thoughtful tour of the royal highlights. Having grown up and attended school nearby, Jack had fantastic insights into the complicated history of the area and dove deep beneath the surface level details to provide us with an experience we couldn’t get elsewhere. Jack also has a great sense of humor and can really tailor the tour to your specific interests! We loved it so much we signed up for his private tour of Chelsea as well - really impressive and fun! Absolutely well worth it, thank you Jack!!

I'll be back Jack! - We had a blast with Jack on the Private Guided Tour of Royal London! The tour brings you through a plethora of information. Jack peppers in interesting tidbits and his sense of humor, providing what felt like an insiders look at London. We had so much fun that we signed up for the Private Guided Tour of Historic Chelsea as well. Having grown up in Chelsea, Jack brings his full personality to this tour. All in all, it was a great experience and I can't wait to take more Bespoke Tours on future London trips!

Incredibly fun and fascinating! - There was absolutely no better way to spend a sunny Easter Sunday than by exploring the city and learning about the royal history of London with Bespoke Britain! Jack was a fantastic guide who had an unending supply of fun facts and a clear passion for and knowledge of the city and its history. He was able to answer every question we threw at him, and there were a lot! I saw a whole new side to the city and loved learning about the history behind some of the most well known buildings in London. I had an amazing time and would highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a fun and interesting afternoon around London, whether you're a tourist or a local. Can't recommend this company and tour enough!
