London Heathrow layover

Published on Feb, 2020

The best way to spend my layover in London! Becky was great and had a plan for us to see everything. Word to the wise though...bring your walking shoes as we walked 5 miles. It was totally worth it! Thanks Becky!

Glad I left the airport!

Published on Jan, 2020

What an awesome experience I had! Naomi’s recommendations and suggested places to visit suited all of my interests. She listened to everything I asked for and gave me a little bit of the touristy/not so touristy, foodie, and Harry Potter experience I wanted. This tour really exceeded my expectations and is definitely what I needed for my 10 hour layover. I had such a great time and enjoyed every moment! Big thank you to Naomi for a great tour!

Chris was a phenomenal host for our few hours in London. Gave us the historical tour we were looking for. It was the perfect introduction to London with a great guide.
