EXCELLENT Based on 206 reviews Posted on Danielle D.15. April, 2026 We can’t recommend Gio and his team highly enough — they delivered an unforgettable private tour experience. Our guide, Joanna, was fantastic: incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to our interests, and an absolute joy to spend the day with. Our driver, Shorof, was wonderful as well — friendly, professional, and always right on time. The entire experience was seamless. All we had to do was show up and enjoy the day they planned for us. Gio and his team are exceptionally organized; we simply shared what we wanted to see, and they made it all happen effortlessly. Truly a 10/10 experience. We’d recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, well‑planned, and memorable tour. We will absolutely use them again for any future trips!!Posted on Catherine Whitworth14. April, 2026 My family and I had a wonderful time on a private tour of London with Janice. Janice and our driver were professional, friendly and on time. Janice was very knowledgeable and informative. We were extremely satisfied and highly recommend this Private London Tour.Posted on Carlos Izquierdo13. April, 2026 Spent one week in London with Family and do recommend extensively Private London Tours. Guides are great and very knowledgeable. Worked with Gio to customized tours to meet our needs and schedule. We specially enjoyed our day trip to Oxford with Joanna. And shout out to Catherine who was great with kids.Posted on Lori Benmlouka10. April, 2026 Gio, the owner, made planning and booking so easy. Monica, our tour guide, was wonderful—she guided us to all the highlights, shared great insights, and helped capture photos of our family. Shorof was an excellent driver and kept everything seamless. We would definitely book again. It was a fantastic experience.Posted on Judy M9. April, 2026 We had such a great time! I am a 75-year old Grandma with mobility issues so a bit concerned about getting about safely and keeping up with the kids. But, it was not a problem! Our guide, Grace B, took us to many of the sites on our list and also included other sites. She also did a rest stop at a coffee shop. Grace B was absolutely delightful! Our driver Shorof, was great, too! He let us off then would pick us up at a designated area and all the while Grace accompanied us. Even with many other tourists around, my walker would be waiting as I exited the car at many sites. Curbside service was so convenient! We visited many wonderful sites, but a highlight for me was getting to walkabout and shop at Notting Hill! I am so glad my daughter suggested a private tour. We saved so much traveling time, traveled safely and securely, had a great guide and chauffeur. I felt like a queen! We all had such a lovely time! I would not hesitate to book again with Private London Tours. Everyone was great, including GIO, who was very helpful and a pleasure to work with while coordinating this tour! Thank you everyone!Posted on Raquel Gigliotti9. April, 2026 Our family had an absolutely wonderful experience with this tour company, and we can’t recommend them highly enough! Every detail of our trip was thoughtfully planned and flawlessly executed. We enjoyed three incredible custom tours. The first took us to Oxford University, where we were able to explore the historic campus at our own pace with expert guidance. The second was a walking tour of London’s highlights, which perfectly balanced the must-see landmarks with hidden gems we never would have discovered on our own. The third tour to Stonehenge and Salisbury Cathedral was unforgettable—beautifully organized and timed to avoid crowds, allowing us to truly take in these iconic sites. A huge part of what made these tours so special were our guides—Vicky, Leo, and Jackie. Each of them brought their own unique energy, knowledge, and warmth, making every experience engaging and memorable. They were not only incredibly informative but also genuinely fun to spend time with. We especially appreciated the custom touches, like the thoughtfully planned stops at specific restaurants that held special meaning for our family. Those moments made the trip feel deeply personal and truly one-of-a-kind. A special thank you to GioPosted on Candice Kislack9. April, 2026 I am beyond grateful Gio and the company went above and beyond to work on getting us a best date and time for our availability. Leo was a fabulous tour guide through London, and beyond knowledgeable. I loved when the locals were greeting her — she definitely knows what she’s doing!Posted on Renee Schneider9. April, 2026 Had an amazing experience with Gio! He was always very responsive, thorough and would accommodate our changing needs! The tours worked out perfectly, and he had great suggestions! We will definitely be using him in the future!Posted on Lauren Fernandez8. April, 2026 My family had the BEST time on our tour with Harry. He was smart, funny & and answered all of our questions. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great way to experience London!Posted on Patrick Stevens30. March, 2026 Fantastic experience! Couldn't stop saying good things about working with this company. We had a fantastic visit to the British Museum with Aaron before hours and loved every second.
