Great Day with Chris

Published on Jan, 2025

My wife and I spent 3 great hours with Chris on the local history tour that began at St Paul's Cathedral. This man is a wealth of information about all things historical in London. We learned things that are not written in the history books and can only be explained in detail in person. This tour was worth the time amd money !!

Tom was the tour guide from heaven. He knew all the right things to say to make sure we had a great day and tour and we got to see everything we asked for. It was a great time and he is great company! He even took pictures of our family and sent them all to us so we could just enjoy the moments. Thank you!

David was an excellent guide for us on this sunny, but cold November day. Although some of us had been to London numerous times,everything we saw and learned about was new to us. David has an impressive knowledge of architecture and history, and also with regards to the history related to popular culture over the decades. Not at least, he did it with humor and wit, and conveyed some hilarious anecdotes along the way! We were truly impressed, and felt extremely lucky we got such a great guide. We highly recommend David!
