London tour with kids - Larry was the best tour guide. My 8 and 9 year old were jet lagged and certainly no history buffs and yet the 3 hours flew by. He was engaging and funny and patient. We loved the mix of traditional must sees with secret less known cool sites and tales. The time flew by. Highly recommend Larry!

Lucy was a wonderful tour... - Lucy was a wonderful tour guide! She was very knowledgeable about everything on the tour and random questions my kids asked. She also personalized the experience to make sure we were able to see all the highlights and our requests. Every story and historical event she talked about was riveting enough to even keep my youngest entertained.

Entertaining and informative London tour - Great tour of London historic sites with Dan. It was well-paced, entertaining and kept two kids (ages 10 and 13) and adults engaged. Dan shared lots of interesting factoids about Westminster, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and more. He was humorous and very conversational. Highly recommend!

Great guide and tour! - Probably our favorite tour over two weeks in the UK and Ireland. Alex was a wealth of knowledge and really brought Londons history to life for our family. Our 11 and 12 year old boys even stayed engaged the entire time which is no small feat!
While Alex had a plan for the best things for us to see, she was also more than willing to customize things to accommodate our wishes.
I would highly recommend!

A wonderful three days on London with Lucy - Lucy was fantastic! We were able to have Lucy as our guide for all three days in London. She took us on a walking tour to Westminster, to the Tower of London, and through the British Museum. She was so patient and kind to our three children while providing incredibly knowledgeable information to all three stops! I highly recommend these tours and make sure to ask for Lucy!

Great Walking tour with Dan - We actually had three tours through this company in one week- all with Dan as our tour guide. He was witty and extremely informative, as well as patient with our two young kids. My son kept interrupting him and we were very impressed with how he could both pay attention to him and then steer the conversation back to the tour. We actually asked to modify this walking tour to include a visit inside Westminster Abbey and the tour company got back to me right away to make the adjustments. They were very kind and attentive. Overall, I highly recommend this company and Dan!

Great kid-friendly tour - We brought our three kids (13, 10 and 7) to London and signed up for this and another tour. Denisa from Pinocchio Tours was our guide for both and she was fantastic. She did a great job engaging all kids across a large age spread (big difference between 13 and 7!) while also making the tours interesting for the adults. Highly recommended.

Best Family Tour Ever! - This was by far the best tour we have ever done. With 3 young grandchildren, tours can be hectic. Denisa is the best guide EVER. So knowledgeable and kept young and old entertained. She should teach a class on how to give a tour. BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!
