We were first timers in London and booked a tour with Laurence our first full day. What a great introduction for us. He went with us to buy an oyster card for transportation. We rode the bus and tube with him and covered a lot of ground. He covered a variety of topics and sites for all our interest. Our... More

This is my 3rd Walking tour with Laurence and that is because we all come back for more! I could talk about Laurence's breadth of knowledge across the whole range of locations, buildings and people, but more important is his way with his guests (I felt like a guest not a client). Laurence can accommodate any situation and is charming... More

We visited London over spring break with our children, a boy 10 years old, and 7 year boy/girl twins. On the advice of my brother-in-law who arranged tours with Laurence for his family in November, we booked a couple of days with him for our trip in March. We appreciated Laurence's flexibility to agree to two half days of historical... More

My family visiting from the US spent the day with Laurence at the beginning of our trip. What a perfect decision that was! He met us at our flat at the exact appointed time, asked us what we were most interested in, got to know each of us individually. As this was our girls' first time in London, we asked... More

My husband and I spent 6 days in London in April and booked the last day with Laurence as a full day trip to the Cotswolds. Unfortunately the weather conspired against us and with snow pending on the day of our visit we changed at the last minute and went south with the better weather for a day trip to... More

We went on a full day walking tour of London with Laurence and he could not have been more delightful. He chatted with our boys and pointed out the historical sights and answered all of our many questions. He was a highlight of our trip and we are still discussing the things he explained to us. I would recommend him... More

It was our first full day in London for our family of four. I was the only one that had been to London before and I wanted my wife and 11 and 13 year old girls to see the major sites with someone that could answer all their questions. Laurence was extremely knowledgable and entertaining. We were able to see... More

We only had one day in London prior to departing on our cruise and we wanted to ensure that we saw as many sites as possible. We reviewed the Trip Advisor website, contacted a few guides, and decided to hire Laurence for the day. We are glad we did. He is very professional. He provided suggestions for the day and... More

We hired Laurence for a private tour of London, to discover the more non traditional sites, such as the great fire, the plague, and the blitz. He met us at our hotel, navigated us through the tube, and filled us with interesting stories, insights and information. Laurence is very thorough, and answered lots of questions and never seemed to tire.... More

After a business trip to Europe in my way back home I decided to get to know London as I have always wanted to. I had only one day available for that task, so I knew I had to made the most of it. Of course, I did make my homework and found Laurence here in Tripadvisor. Based on past... More
