What our travellers are saying...

Best tour ever! We took a tour with Eddie on the summer bank holiday Sunday. We could see how much time he had taken to personalise this tour to everything we loved. And even helped us with a restaurant recommendation for the evening that was fantastic! He made it really special for us and we can’t wait to do another tour with him! Would 100% recommend booking a tour with Eddie if visiting London!

Just when you think you know London... you discover something new! I came across this amazing day out courtesy of Google since we were looking to do a walking tour with a difference. And thanks to Eddie and his incredible knowledge, research and enthusiasm we had the most interesting and delicious time exploring the Notting Hill area. We will definitely be back to discover more soon!
