EXCELLENT Based on 220 reviews Posted on Google laura c17. June, 2026 We had an absolutely incredible experience booking a 4 hour private tour through Private London Tours! From the very beginning, the service was top-notch. While booking, Gio went above and beyond by offering fantastic, personalized suggestions to enhance our itinerary. On the day of the tour, we were picked up in a pristine, incredibly comfortable luxury van that made navigating London an absolute breeze. Our tour guide, Monica, was simply wonderful. Her deep knowledge and captivating storytelling brought the history of London and our entry into Westminster Abbey completely to life. After the fact, I wish we had booked a longer tour with them!Posted on Google Carol16. June, 2026 We had an absolutely flawless experience with Private London Tours! Gio customized our 4 days of tours enabling us to maximize our time. Paul A. was our guide for the first 3 days, his knowledge and expertise was amazing, he was personable and fun! Grace was our guide on the last day, and she was equally impressive and made the excursion very entertaining! A huge thank you to Gio, Paul and Grace for making our trip so special and memorable! Carol and Paul June 2026Posted on Google Cyndi Geary16. June, 2026 We'd highly recommend working with Gio at Private London Tours! He was easy to work over email and extremely communicative. We had no issues at all. He paired us very well with our tour guide Aaron for two days of tours: Westminster Abbey/VIP Churchill War Rooms, which we HIGHLY recommend, and Tower of London. Our family of 6 adults thoroughly enjoyed Aaron's wit, knowledge and friendliness. At the end of each tour, Aaron walked us to our reservation, which was so helpful. He truly went above and beyond! Thank you Gio and Aaron for a great London visit!Posted on Google Nancy Randazzo16. June, 2026 The expertise our tour guide Ruth had was unbelievable! She was so welcoming, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. Ruth catered to the asks we had within our tours. She was able to then hone in moving forward on what we wanted, but still give us a well rounded knowledge base throughout the history of the Royals. Private tour guides is money well spent and we will continue to go this route in every trip we take.Posted on Google Martha Eaves14. June, 2026 Seamless experience. Mark G. Was a knowledgeable and engaging tour guide.Posted on Google Steven Dennis13. June, 2026 On May 28th 2026 our family of 6 enjoyed a fantastic day tour of London sights led by Mark G. from Private London Tours. Our driver also did a great job moving us safely through traffic. Apologies for not recalling his name. We visited the Tower, Westminster Abbey, St James Park, and walked by Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, and several other areas. Mark had great knowledge and insight of all the places we visited and was very engaging and professional with our family. He also recommended a pub for lunch that we all enjoyed. I would highly recommend Mark and Private London Tours in any future travels in the UK.Posted on Google christina mackinney13. June, 2026 10/10 - Communication from Gio was very quick even with the time difference from the US. Super easy to book and adjust our tour needs. We were a family of 5 with kids ages 8, 8, 10. Our guide was Catherine and she did such an amazing job entertaining the kids while still keeping everything educational. We even did a little impromptu skit where we all acted out different members of parliament helping the kids learn in such a fun way. Would absolutely recommend Private London Tours with Gio and Catherine again.Posted on Google Karen Ellis13. June, 2026 This is the second time in 4 years we have used Private London Tours and they are fantastic.The first time we booked in 2022 we did a full day tour of London and it was really great. Gio, who arranges your tours and you initially speak with is very responsive and helps you set up your experience so you get the most out of the day. This trip, my husband and I customized a full day tour with Gio that visited Windsor Castle and the Cotswolds with a pub lunch. Our guide Monica picked us up at our hotel and we were off! Monica was wonderful and paced the tour incredibly well. We visited 3 Cotswold villages with a visit to a market in one of them. We were not rushed at all and were able to stroll through all of the sights. Then we were off to a lovely pub lunch that Monica picked out and pre booked . Brilliantly, Monica had us visit Windsor Castle after lunch. We had the entire castle to ourselves it was wonderful. This tour group is fantastic we will absolutely use them again every time we are in London. I can’t say enough great things about Gio and the guides they use. Absolutely use them!!Posted on Google Steve Virden13. June, 2026 The most knowledgeable guide EVER. We saw and learned so much about London and GN. Joanna was absolutely brilliant.Posted on Google Miami Choice Customs3. June, 2026 We had an amazing experience with Private London Tours and cannot recommend them enough! Our tour guide, Rowan, was absolutely fantastic. He took us through Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London, making both locations come alive with entertaining stories, fun facts, and historical insights we definitely would have missed exploring on our own. He also brought us to a traditional English pub for lunch, which added such an authentic touch to the experience. Rowan took the time to make the day enjoyable, engaging, and personalized from start to finish. We also had a private driver, which made everything seamless and stress-free throughout the day. Overall, this was one of the highlights of our trip to London, and we would absolutely use this company again the next time we visit!
