Enter the Tower of London before the crowds, see the Crown Jewels, and explore Tower Bridge with an expert guide in 3.5 hours.
“Tour was great. Learned a lot of interesting historical information, and some gruesome facts as well. The guide was wonderful / informative and witty too. Highly recommend.”
Review of the VIP Tower of London tour with Crown Jewels entry, White Tower, expert guide, and private Beefeater meeting.
“This was one of our family’s favorite tours the whole time we were in London! Ben was a fantastic guide & highly knowledgeable about the vast history of the Tower of London. We learned so much that we wouldn’t have if we had just bought entry. We would highly recommend taking the earliest morning tour available, as we were able to see most of the site with minimal other visitors, and we walked right into the crown jewel building. Ben also took one of our favorite pictures of our family in front of the tower bridge! Additionally, he timed our tour, so we got to see a Brazilian navy ship…”
Review of London’s VIP Tower of London opening, Crown Jewels, White Tower, and Tower Bridge tour, with practical advice on price and access.
“Fantastic tour. Literally the first couple in to see the Crown Jewels. Our guide was unbelievable (a retired physics teacher). A wealth of knowledge and as kind as one could be. Absolute delight!”
Explore Soho’s international food scene, cocktails, music history, and Chinatown on this intimate three-and-a-half-hour London tour.
“Our guide Bel was wonderful. She was extremely engaging and knowledgeable of the area. The food and drinks were excellent. It was fun sampling food from different cultures. Definitely recommend.”
Review of the Tower of London VIP early access tour, Crown Jewels, opening ceremony, guided walk, and flexible Thames river cruise.
“I feel this is misnamed. We did not get in early to the tower. Our guide was great, but we entered with the masses. She did get us thru the Crown Jewels immediately as she predicted the crowd flow, but there wasn’t any advantage provided that a motivated individual couldn’t achieve on their own”
See the Tower of London open before the crowds, view the Crown Jewels, tour its darkest corners, and add a flexible Thames cruise.
“Katherine, our guide, was so kind and knowledgeable. She shared many fascinating stories that brought the Tower to life.”
Explore Soho after dark with tacos, dumplings, cocktails, pub fare, music history, and a small group capped at 10 people.
“our guide Jay was so interesting and the food and drink samples were so delicious! Was a great introduction to Soho!”
Tour Kensington Palace Gardens, see Diana’s statue, and enjoy English tea at the Orangery with an optional palace entry upgrade.
“The tour was excellent with an exceptional tour guide!”
Review of Edinburgh’s $20.67 pub crawl, with six free shots, VIP club entry, drinking games, photo memories, and practical booking advice.
“We had a lot of fun not really knowing what to expect. Tour went exactly as planned and we had much to drink. The included shots we had at each bar were sweet but easy enough for my wife to handle(she doesn’t drink really). Danielle our tour guide was amazing. We were celebrating our honeymoon on this trip, and our guide kept it a secret as we wished. Bar hopping was a lot of fun. Our group was awesome. We will be recommending it to those that visit. Thanks for a great time again!”
Review of the Bicester Village shopping trip from London, with coach transport, designer discounts, VIP savings, timing tips, and practical advice.
“The transport and organization were great, and the guide / driver were very nice. Very convenient solution for a one-day shopping trip to Bicester Village. But don’t be fool by the VIP discount which worked only once (at Calvin Klein, on a £20-pair of socks…)! Didn’t refrain us from doing our shopping though! Just don’t waste your time showing the QR code!”
Review of a private Downton Abbey black taxi tour from London, with village filming sites, lunch, Highclere Castle, and practical booking tips.
“Our guide had sufficient knowledge of Downton Abbey and took photos for us when needed. However, he was exceptionally funny and had a great deal of interesting knowledge about several other topics as well. Really a great guy who kept us laughing most of the day.”
Sample fine Mayfair truffles and ganaches with a former cocoa trader on this intimate two-hour London chocolate walk.
“Guide was exceptional! Extremely knowledgeable and took us to the best chocolatiers.”
