Worth every penny for the private tour!
Susan_M, Apr 2024
We kicked off our stay in London with Bryan. He was lovely and so knowledgeable. We met at our hotel and really got a feel for all of London and Westminster (didn’t know it wasn’t all London).
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Susan. Thank-you for taking the time to write your review. It was a pleasure to meet you, Jenn and Hope and I am so glad you had a good time in London Town. Regards Bryan and all the team at London Sightseeing Tours.

Great way to discover London and History lesson
James_W, Sep 2023
Morris did excellent job catering to our preferences and interest of The Beatles. He brought us to hidden gems and gave us a great overview of Old London and the history along with the main attractions. Very pleasant and informative and highly recommend. Perfect way to get an overview and some history of England.
Response from Host, Sep 2023

I can’t say enough about Tony. He is wonderful! His customer service, knowledge, experience, hospitality and professionalism was absolutely superb. He makes you feel like you have a friend here in London! His cab is comfortable, clean and Tony is a safe driver. The history you’ll learn about London is top notch! He truly knows his stuff! This is the ONLY way to see and learn about this beautiful city!

No crowds, no waiting on others, just you and your tour guide what more could you ask for.
Jeffrey_H, Aug 2023
Morris was an amazing driver that took the time to find out what we wanted to see and what else we had planned during our time in London so he didn't duplicate sites and we could get the most out of our time with him. He was an amazing driver and took us to some lesser known beautiful spots to photograph that were breath taking. If your going to do a tour and don't want to spend the time waiting on others to load up on the large busses I would highly recommend this tour. Morris was such an amazing driver that my wife wanted a true Cornish pastie and he took us to 3 places but they were all closed on the holiday. An hour after we got done with our tour we got a call from the front desk, he found some after dropping us off and bought us 2 and took them to our hotel for us and left before we could personally thank him or pay him back for them. Morris you truly made our trip very special!
Response from Host, Sep 2023
Hi and Thank-you for your review. Morris is a major part of our success and is a very special guide putting huge effort into every tour. I love the cornish pastie story. This is typical Morris going that extra mile for our guests. I will make sure Morris gets a copy of your review. Thank-you for choosing London Sightseeing Tours. Hope to see you and your friends one day soon. Regards Bryan, Morris and all the team.
Awesome tour...more flexible than you think
Buki_O, Aug 2023
Morris was a fantastic guide! very patient with the kids and very friendly and approachable when asked questions and when teaching about the historical aspects of sites. We touched on all the famous landmarks we needed to and he offered even more sightseeing information and times we could go and get admitted into for free. I'd recommend this tour for anyone with limited time who needs a quick yet comprehensive tour of London.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hi Buki. Thank-you for leaving a great review of your time with Morris. We really appreciate you taking the time to do this. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour. Morris is just superb guide and has a real talent in entertaining the kids on tour. I will send him a copy of your review. Thank-you for choosing London Sightseeing Tours. Regards Bryan, Morris and all the team.

A truly magical day
Laurie_C, Jul 2023
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 year young husband had arthritis in his back and could not walk for long periods of time. We would walk an area and he would walk back and get the cab and pick us up. The girls loved Dave and all the interesting facts he was sharing. If you love flexibility with a no rush attitude, then this tour and guide is for you. Thank you Dave for a truly magical day.

We had a wonderful time! Morris did a fantastic job showing us the sights of London both the common and off the beaten path. From the on time pick up to our custom ending, our day was smooth. Thank you so much! We would recommend this excursion.

Best tour ever!
Kim_B, Jun 2023
We have taken tours of many cities and this was by far the BEST! Dave, our guide, was excellent. He entertained us with fascinating stories, facts, and information about London. He took us to places we never would have seen without him and he explained the significance of each location. He customized our tour to what we wanted to see. We highly recommend Dave and this your!
London in 4 hours
Carol_K, Jun 2023
Good overview of London’s history. Visited all the top attractions. Good way to cover places you want to see if you’re here for only a few days.
Driver didn’t show up
Kathe_w, Jun 2023
A mix up w driver - or organizer - who never showed up. Rescheduled for today, but not impressive and we had to reorganize our plans. Hope it’s great today!
Fantastic personalized tour of London
Juan_Z, Jun 2023
We had a wonderful tour of London highlights along with some specific places we wanted to visit , like Charles Dicken's house. Morris was the best! Aside from descriptions and information of each of the places we visited, he also told us so many interesting stories! We chatted about food, restaurants, local customs and quirks, etc. I travel with a mobility scooter and he made getting in and out of his black cab so easy. I was able to scoot in the cab easily with the ramp, making our tour so much more enjoyable and stress free. I would definitely recommend this personal tour and Morris.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Hi Juan. Thank-you for taking the time to write your review. We are so glad you enjoyed the tour with Morris. Morris is a quality guide with a wealth of experience. Our vehicles are fully wheelchair compatible and also fully air-conditioned with amazing views from the large windows. The glass roof gives great panoramic views. Gill said she enjoyed meeting you on transportation days to and from Heathrow Airport. Hope to see you and your friends one day soon. Regards Bryan, Morris, Gill and all the team.
Bryan's "Personal Tours of London"
David_O, Jun 2023
Bryan, our tour operator and driver, did a superb job from pre-tour preparation discussions, to passing on tremendous knowledge of UK history, and to for his helpful advice for our next day's tour, even though it wasn't with him. His skill as a trained Black Cab Taxi Driver enabled him to make the tour special for us by changing the things we wanted to see during the tour. Highly recommend his "Personal Tours of London" whenever you want to see the heart of London in a day! I would choose him for this tour and others that he and his team conduct.
Wonderful experience
