    Magical Christmas Lights Tour with Tom – Recommended!
    We had an absolutely wonderful time on the London Christmas Lights tour with Tom! The evening was not only fun but also a great blend of festive magic and a touch of history. The lights were breathtaking, and Tom’s knowledge of London’s landmarks added an enriching layer to the experience. What made the tour extra special was Tom’s ability to speak Italian so well – such a delightful and unexpected bonus! It made everything feel more personal and inclusive for us. His enthusiasm and passion for the city were evident throughout, and he ensured that everyone had a fantastic time. Thank you, Tom, for a truly magical evening!

    Great experience!
    Our tour guide Tom was excellent. We would highly recommend this tour! He took us to all of the best Christmas light locations and guided us through a crazy Fortnum and Mason store.

    Wonderful Christmas lights tour
    We were treated to a wonderful evening tour combining a bit of history with all of the beautiful Christmas lights in London. Our tour guide Tom, couldn’t have been better. He was extremely knowledgeable, very much fun to be with, and showed us multiple beautiful streets festooned with lights. We also visited some stores with beautiful interior Christmas decorations. He even recommended great restaurants in our hotel area and walked us to the tube station for us to return to our hotel. I can’t recommend this tour more. It was a wonderful experience. Tom was simply the best tour guide who became a friend over the course of 3 hours. A great tour!

    Personalized tour perfection
    Bryan gave us an excellent tour of wrexham filled with many personal notes and stories which made for a great day. From wrexham lagers brewing site to the beautiful aqueduct and then a lovely lunch at the turf from the food truck it was a perfect day of insight into the wonderful town that is wrexham.

    Cotswolds in November = A+
    November was an amazing time to explore the Cotswolds. No crowds, no tour busses, Christmas lights and decorations everywhere. John picked us up at our hotel in an iconic British taxi which was very comfortable with loads of space and big windows to see out. It's a good 2hrs to get out of London (and back) but we were a bit jet-lagged so we used it as an opportunity for a nap. John, our tour guide, was incredibly kind, knowledgable and accommodating. Our favorite part might have been his lesson for us on Cockney rhyming slang - highly recommend you ask him about that ;-)

    Brilliant Black Cab tour with a really amazing guide.
    We had an amazing time with John on our tour. He was knowledgeable, fun, and showed us parts of London that we would never have seen before. His cab was clean and well kept and we'd have loved to spend some more time with him! It was great to meet a real 'Londoner' and hear his tales of being a black cab driver whilst we travelled between the historic sites. We'll definitely book another tour next time we are in London.

    Super fun!
    What a great tour! Dewi, our tour guide, was super fun and knowledgeable! One of the best guides I’ve ever experienced. I really had a great time and will be back to London to do other tours with this company for sure.

    Great tour.
    The guide, Dewi, was great. He is such a fun guy. I’ve done a lot of tours in my life and he was one of the best I’ve been with. He took me to a lot of pubs and knew a lot of history behind them. Also a quick stop at a book store and a liquor store. It was a great three hours and I highly recommend it.

    Great Tour with Michael.
    We chose this tour because it seemed to focus on the real Ghosts of London, rather than gimmicks or cheap scare tactics. It didn't disappoint. While I'm not particularly into the supernatural, my wife, (who is passionate about ghosts, crystals and all things spooky, and has dragged me on Ghost Tours in Edinburgh, York, and Paris) absolutely loved every minute of it. It was a great Halloween treat for the two of us. Michael was an excellent guide, not only sharing fascinating ghost stories but also introducing us to parts of London we’d never seen before.

    Book this tour!
    Bryan was fantastic! He picked us up at our hotel and we began the day. His knowledge of the area, combined with his friendly and engaging personality, made the trip truly memorable. He had loads of stories and knew everyone in town! From the moment we set off, he shared fascinating insights about Wrexham's history, culture, and its recent rise to fame, with its connection to Hollywood. He was attentive to our preferences, tailoring the itinerary to ensure we saw both the iconic sites, like the Wrexham AFC stadium and the beautiful local landmarks, as well as some hidden gems off the beaten path. Bryan’s passion for the region was evident in every story he told, making the tour not just informative but also fun. His recommendations for local eateries and shops were spot-on, and we even had the chance to meet some locals, which added a personal touch to the experience.
