“Stewart was a great driver and tour guide. Traveling with my husband and daughter, although they had been here before, it was my first visit to London. The two hour tour was perfect to hit the high points on a slightly rainy day. Looking forward to coming back. And I would definitely recommend Stewart. BTW.. needed transportation the next day for a group of 20, although Stewart couldn’t accommodate us, he gave us a great referral that worked perfectly for our group.”

Loved the all the famous sites and the history on The Beatles, The Stones, Freddie Mercury, and so many other bands! He takes the time to get you out of the car, explain the history of the sites and then takes great photos of you standing where these musicians recorded, lived, hung out etc. If you want an amazing photo of yourself crossing the famous Beatles Abbey Road crossing, Steve has an amazing technique to help you get the best photo possible!

“We are traveling with our two granddaughters (11 and 16). Dave, our wonderful tour guide picked us up promptly and began our adventure by asking us what we were interested in seeing that day. We loved that it was 100 percent customizable to our group’s interest. Our answer was that we wanted to see everything. He stopped at so many out of the way and interesting places that we would have never found on our own. If you love history, coupled with interesting facts, that as Americans we were never taught, then ask for Dave for your guide for the day. He was sensitive to the fact that my 75…”

“Alan saved our entire vacation! My significant other and I spent several days in another Country (that ended up being a very unfavorable experience) and only had one night in London before our last flight back home at noon the next day.
