From the time we landed at 7:30am following an overnight flight from Detroit, Ali Bennett was leading, directing and educating us about the wonderful city of London. During the next 9 hours we saw and/ or visited Westminster Abby, the parade of the guards from their barracks to Buckingham Palace, lunch in the basement of an English pub, a peek... More

In September of 2011 my wife and I made a two-week UK trip to settle our daughter into a Masters Degree program at Kings College. We explained to Ali our need of her assistance with our daughter’s move (banking, UK Cell Phones, apartment furnishings, etc.), and then using the balance of the time touring. From the Airport welcome to our... More

We have been to the Tower of London, to Westminster Abby and other sites in London but we have never experienced it as we did when touring with Ali on our trip to London last month. She pointed out things we never would have seen without her. She picked us up at our apartment and saved valuable time by taking... More

Ali was outstanding . We were apprehensive as it was our first time to visit London. Ali could not have done better. She knew a great deal and made visits to the Tower of London funny and exciting. More

Ali is a competent and accommodating guide. For whatever reason, we didn't click all that well. The day seemed more focused on getting through the attractions than guiding. Perhaps we tried to cover too much ground. Part of it was our doing: I asked for guidance on sights and was advised she could guide in Hampton Court and not in... More

I volunteered to plan a 2 week vacation in June 2011 to England and France for my family, including my parents-in-law. It was an intimidating task, with many details of hotels, transportation, and tours that I wanted to get just right. My first good decision, and a stroke of good luck, was finding (and being able to book) Ali Bennett... More

My family and I toured with Ali for two days. She was so sweet and had such a passion for showing people the history of England. Her enthusiasm for history and touring was infectious. The tours she gave us were so interesting and made us ask a lot of questions, because of how much our interest grew while on the... More

We found Ali while looking at Trip Advisor for London guides and hired her for 3 days in June 2011. Ali was professional, timely, very well informed about London and surroundings, and quite pleasant. That is what one would expect., of course. What we ended up with was much like a good friend showing us their hometown. We asked her... More

Ali Bennett was a delight! She was knowledgable and well prepared and happy to customize our tour to suit our needs. We toured the sites in London for the first day, with very nice stops at Westminster Abbey and The Tower Of London and she really knew her stuff. The second day she drove us to Stonehenge. Though she had... More

My brother and our wives had a fantastic tour of the Cotswolds with Ali Bennett on May 30, 2011. Although a rainy and cold day, our time with Ali could not have been more delightful. She is the perfect host and knows all there is to know about the region. We saw the best of the best and the weather... More
