My wife and I visited the Tower of London with Ali as our tour guide. She really did make the experience, with exceptional knowledge of the history of the Tower and it's surrounding. Also helps that she is very easy to get along with and makes you feel comfortable from the start. A great day out made excellent by Alipaltours. More

Ali Bennett was recommended to me by a local person at home so we had emailed for several months and talked on the phone once. I felt as if I already knew her when we did meet. My time was limited and we did whirlwind tours on 2 days. I had mentioned to Ali some of the places I would... More

Ali will not only show you all the highlights but will fill you in on the history and legend of the locations....She is personalable, energetic and so very knowledgeable...we traveled with a family group of pre-teens and seniors and she kept us all entranced and engaged. More

My husband and I wanted to do an overview tour of London during our March trip. We found Ali by accident through another Blue Badge tour guide, and felt so fortunate. Through an email exchange prior to our visit, we were able to plan two half-day walking tours around London. I believe she normally uses her vehicle for driving tours,... More

From the time we landed at 7:30am following an overnight flight from Detroit, Ali Bennett was leading, directing and educating us about the wonderful city of London. During the next 9 hours we saw and/ or visited Westminster Abby, the parade of the guards from their barracks to Buckingham Palace, lunch in the basement of an English pub, a peek... More

In September of 2011 my wife and I made a two-week UK trip to settle our daughter into a Masters Degree program at Kings College. We explained to Ali our need of her assistance with our daughter’s move (banking, UK Cell Phones, apartment furnishings, etc.), and then using the balance of the time touring. From the Airport welcome to our... More

We have been to the Tower of London, to Westminster Abby and other sites in London but we have never experienced it as we did when touring with Ali on our trip to London last month. She pointed out things we never would have seen without her. She picked us up at our apartment and saved valuable time by taking... More

Ali was outstanding . We were apprehensive as it was our first time to visit London. Ali could not have done better. She knew a great deal and made visits to the Tower of London funny and exciting. More

Ali is a competent and accommodating guide. For whatever reason, we didn't click all that well. The day seemed more focused on getting through the attractions than guiding. Perhaps we tried to cover too much ground. Part of it was our doing: I asked for guidance on sights and was advised she could guide in Hampton Court and not in... More

I volunteered to plan a 2 week vacation in June 2011 to England and France for my family, including my parents-in-law. It was an intimidating task, with many details of hotels, transportation, and tours that I wanted to get just right. My first good decision, and a stroke of good luck, was finding (and being able to book) Ali Bennett... More
