Great way to see London! - Dave was an excellent host, he was incredibly knowledgeable and took us to places we never would have found on our own. He was regularly taking great pictures and ensuring we were enjoying ourselves. He even mixed in some Harry Potter filming locations for our daughter. It was a lovely morning getting to see more of London and learn from a local!

Why the gurgle comes from a Gargoyle! - Patrick was our driver and if someone knew about the extensive history of London this guy was it. He took us to his favourite haunts, as in, where the best scotch to be found is, where the King gets his shoes made, as well as the historical pages showing where 24,000 bottles of wine can be found (albeit still in the Titanic) He even set us up to see the King of England drive by! And to boot, he was just a lovely cockney bloke who’s proud of his country and its capital. Absolutely a 5 star rating!

See London like you have never seen it before! - We had an amazing day in London with Patrick! I have been to London before but have never been able to do so much and learn so much in a few short hours. He made getting around the complicated streets of London seem like a breeze and we felt like “locals” by the end :). Patrick answered any question we had and was a true professional (with a heart of gold).
I highly recommend this tour and thank you Patrick for the incredible day.

A Great Tour in London - We had a great tour today with Dave! He showed up right on time. He completely personalized the tour so that we saw sights we had not seen before! He was full of information and stories! We learned alot and were very entertained.
We even were lucky enough to see a royal motorcade, and actually got a wave from the king!
I would highly recommend this tour! We were certainly very happy and entertained! It was definitely time well spent!!
