British Tours

Dani was amazing! She led us around the city for three straight days. We saw everything we wanted to, and more. We can't talk highly enough about British tours and especially Dani. Her energy was invigorating. Her enthusiasm was infectious, and her knowledge was enlightening. She knew exactly where to stand to get the best view or photo. She knew exactly where to be to see the sights up close. We felt like we had a deep dive master's degree of London history at a college level in just three days. So very impressed and highly recommend!

Geoff was my personal tour guide and driver on a WWII tour. Since I wanted to see the village of Bassingbourn, the site of the airbase and its surroundings, and the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, he devised a personalized tour. We toured the Imperial War Museum in Duxford, and spent time at the American Air Force building, and the restoration building. In Bassingbourn, we stopped at the site of a WWII pub, and had lunch and a beer at the Belle Freehouse, its current occupant. We visited the Catholic church and drove around the village and the area of the airbase, closed to the public because it is an active RAF base. The defining moment came when Geoff showed me 323rd squadron memorial plaque, located in a field mearby. My dad’s squadron! Needless to say, when Geoff leads a tour, he does his homework! Thank you, British Tours (especially Geoff), for going above and beyond expectations. I heartily recommend British Tours to all who want a truly memorable WWII experience.

British Tours was perfect for our family trip. They accommodated all our schedule and timing requests, including last minute weather changes. Our guide Jonathan adapted his material to our interests and questions and was particularly good keeping kids engaged and moving on when eyes glazed over. Thank you!

We used British Tours for a day trip during our layover at Heathrow airport. Our guide picked us up at the hotel (where went to freshen up after the overnight flight) - the van was very comfortable for the 4 of us plus the guide and all our luggage. We traveled first to Windsor and then to Oxford. We had a delightful time. Our guide was informative and interesting. He was flexible and kept our interests in mind as we visited these cities.
He knew the ins and outs of finding the best picture spots, lunch and tea spots, and very importantly - where to park! The weather was beautiful and the tour was wonderful. We were able to arrange everything with ease via email. We're so glad we used British Tours! We recommend them highly and will be calling on them again the next time we're in the UK.

We had an amazing experience at the War Rooms. Alexandra was a highly professional and knowledgeable guide. She assessed our interests, had a deep knowledge of history and people, added huge value beyond just this venue and related effectively. She was truly outstanding! Simon our driver was very professional, courteous and adaptable. The whole experience was exemplary Thank you

We booked the private plane Normandy Beaches Tour from London in 2018 because we were time poor but also because the tour started when you were in the air above the beaches. Our first two dates were cancelled because of bad weather, but third time lucky five of us were able to make the trip. On a gorgeous sunny day we took off to France for the day (for a group of Australians this alone was a novelty!). Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and the tour was everything we hoped it would be. We still talk about what a fabulous time we had and how lucky we were to have been able to do it.

We just finished an 12 day stay in London and went on two full day tours with British Tours. Paul was our guide for both tours and he was incredible. Our first tour was to Blenheim Palace and it was incredible. It was the first day they opened it with their Christmas decorations which were incredible. Our second tour was to Windsor Castle and Hampton Court. Again, Paul was incredible in taking us through both locations. His knowledge and insights are second to none. Would highly recommend Paul and British Tours and we’ll be using them again the next time we’re in London.

I hired British Tours to take my mother-in-law to Downton Abby (from London) and the surrounding area for her 75th birthday on a visit from the States. Her driver was Justin, and when she got home she absolutely RAVED about the service and treatment she received from him! He was super kind and accommodating to her and her traveling companion, and made sure their visit was beyond stellar. Great company to work with, great staff - absolute pleasure, highly recommend!

I originally reserved my tour in 2019 and it was supposed to happen in April 2020. The company was amazing about postponing for me and being very accommodating due to the situation.
I finally was able to make this trip happen in May of this year and it was incredible!!
Geoff was very personable, professional and went over and beyond to make sure my experience was everything I wanted it to be.
I am so thankful for all that I was able to see and learn... they are highly recommended and I will definitely use them on my next tour!

Alex was a wonderful guide and so informative for our trip to London. Would definitely use Alex and British tours again for our next visit.

Tom Harrison was our Guide for a day of exploring Warwick Castle then on to Stratford on Avon for a chance to appreciate Shakespeare’s life and times. I wanted lunch in a Pub and the one he took us to was excellent! This is my second tour with Tom and I must say he always finds something extra to add to an already amazing day. I would give him 10 stars!

This was our second time using British Tours. They always do a super job and the guides are extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend using them!

My family and I used British Tours for two day tours during our recent stay . Our tours were Windsor Castle one day and the other was Dover and Leeds Castle. We were very lucky to have our tours enhanced by Sam our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. That alone would have been enough. However, my family and myself really connected with him . We felt comfortable and at ease with him at all times. We are grateful to British Tours for adding Sam into our memorable trip. The whole experience was Brilliant!

As it was our first time in London and were only going to be in town for a few days, we wanted to get as much quality time in as possible. I searched online for the best tours and, of course, there were many options. Most of them were with many others on a bus and very limited in what you could do and how much time to spend in any particular area. After reading what British Tours had to offer I decided to give it a go. We selected the City Tour for seven hours. We were picked up at our hotel in a very nice SUV (air-conditioned, too). Our host, John, was so wonderful! He made us feel like we were special. He made suggestions for the "highlights" and was SO knowledgable about everything we encountered and then some. It was personal. There were only three in my group (wife, young teen, and me). He drove us around the city highlighting different neighborhoods and the history behind them (We loved that) and was able to get us into Westminster Abbey quickly and was our personal history guide. Yes, it is a little more expensive than the bus tours, but WORTH EVERY PENNY! Of course, we also tipped him because he went above and beyond. You will not regret getting a tour with British Tours.

Had the Best day with Richard!! He was very friendly, funny and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. We did both walking and driving. City very crowded as it was New Year’s Eve however Richard managed to navigate the city perfectly so we could see as much as possible in the only day we had in London.
As for booking in advance from overseas, could not have gone smoother. The correspondence was quick and concise!!
I would Highly recommend using British Tours and will use them again myself."

Two tours on different days, both great.

My wife and I took our 8-year-old to London for his first time and wanted to see all of the usual suspects (Tower of London, London Eye, Westminster Abbey, etc.) is a way that was efficient and informative. British Tours was easy to work with, and we had a great guide (he happened to get us twice) called Sam. He knew his stuff, got us into each attraction quickly with either guide credentials or with thoughtful pre-planning / ticket purchases, and my boy got to experience a good part of London with way more information and perspective than you would get with a book or an audio guide. Sam was affable, knowledgeable and very accommodating as both the driver and guide. Would recommend to anyone!

We had an amazing experience as a family of 4 with 2 young daughters on their first trip to London. Our tour guide, Rod, was wonderful and we were able to see quite a lot in a day. He also told some great stories and showed us some things we never would have thought to ask about. He also took us to a great pub for fish and chips that dates back to 1520 that we never would have found on our own. I will definitely use British Tours again in the future and will recommend them to anyoneI know who will be vacationing in London!

We had only one day in London with so much to see. British Tours arranged the perfect guide for our interests and our tour was exceptional in every way. It was worth every penny (schilling). We saw so much yet felt as if we had time to see what we were viewing. We have recommended their services to friends, and would not hesitate to again use their services the next time we are in their touring areas.

We loved our residential tour with Richard. I have limited mobility and the car was lovely, and he took good care of me. He took us to places we never would have thought of. He went out of his way to take us to places with great photo opportunities like the beautiful canal.We got the most gorgeous photos of the river with the boats anchored on either side.

I can’t wait to do more tours with British Tours and Richard. I can’t say enough good about them!

In June 2018, we booked a private day-trip tour through British Tours. Our British Tour guide Marie Claire picked us up from our room in Paris and drove us to visit the D-Day battlefields in Normandy. She took great care of us, entertaining us with history and stories all along the way and providing a wonderful stress-free private tour of this amazing region. At the end of a long day, she returned us to our front door. In a vacation filled with many sights, this was a highlight and well worth it. I highly recommend British Tours, especially for private day trips.
