I Think I Have Met the World's Best Tour Guide! - Thank you, thank you Jackie R., the half and full day walking tours we took with you throughout London were fantastic, informative and so enjoyable. I so enjoyed following you around as you expertly navigated us to our venues and best viewing spots and listening to all your knowledge plus the fact that you are an excellent human. I am so glad I met you and was able to spend the time with you.
I highly recommend any tour given by this guide.

A great April morning in London - Davey Peacock was out tour guide and we had a wonderful experience. We saw Changing of the Guard and he maneuvered us through crowds and got us where we needed to be quickly and efficiently. Very knowledgeable and fun to be with. At the end, he ensured we got tot he transportation we desired to the location we were heading to continue our day and gave us his cell number if we had any other questions or needed recommendations while we were in London.

Rich history of London - We had the most incredible day with Rocío as our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, and great at explaining the rich history of England. Our teen soaked it all in and said the tour was fun. For a teen to say seven hours of walking and listening to history is fun is a testament to Rocio’s awesomeness. Her use of her iPad enhanced the tour experience as well.

Best way to see London! - Rocio was a PERFECT guide for our first time in London. She was so knowledgeable of the history, great at explaining things, and you can tell she really has a love for what she does! We were nervous doing a walking tour in February, but there was a perfect balance of inside and outside for us. We love to explore cities on foot, but also wanted someone who knew the ins and outs…and this tour was exactly that. A perfect go to for first time Londoners or even those who are experienced in the city. I can absolutely guarantee you will be shown a new side to the beautiful city! Our itinerary was perfectly customized to what we wanted and the memories this day created will last a lifetime!

Davey was great - entertaining even in the rain! - Davey was an incredible guide! The weather wasn’t ideal (raining & super windy at times) but he held our family’s attention easily with interesting & educated historical & current facts & lots of “so I’ve been told” anecdotes. My daughters especially enjoyed the gory details of executions past - they enjoyed reciting them over our lunch much to my dismay. Lots of great recommendations as well. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Great time walking and seeing London - Our tour guide showed up early and was very knowledgeable. He walked us to the top sites and we took a taxi to one part of the tour (which I offered to pay for versus using public transportation). I feel as a local, he provided valuable insight and details that we wouldn’t have if we had done the tour on our own. Some of the information was graphic which is why I couldn’t give it 5 stars. Although myself & my teen didn’t mind the level of details provided, my mother and young son felt it was too violent and unnecessary. Overall I really enjoyed the tour and guide.

This is a scam! Avoid! - The company did not show up for the tour.
I was unable to contact them in any way. Viator was unable to contact them.
I expect this is a scam of some sort.
