Best Tour I’ve ever taken!!

Published on Sep, 2024

This past August, I had the pleasure of visiting London with a group of nine friends, and went on an exceptional walking tour led by Stephen. His captivating presence and remarkable ability to engage each of us with a wealth of knowledge—from history and architecture to fascinating insights into James Bond and Harry Potter—made the experience unforgettable. It was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip. I look forward to doing it again on my next visit to London—if only we could have Stephen accompany us everywhere! I cannot recommend this experience highly enough—10/10!

Highlight of our London trip

Stephen was easily one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! He was extremely knowledgeable and seemed to know everything about everything in London while also keeping it fun for our group. His tour was the highlight of our trip in London!
