Our ask was to give us a two-hour highlight tour of the Egyptian collection at the British Museum ahead of an upcoming tour of the Nile and Gavin exceeded our expectations. He had detailed knowledge of every artifact we stopped in front of and provided us with a concise history of what we will be seeing live in the next few weeks. Gavin also provided us with insights of the museum and showed us some items that were currently in the news that were fascinating.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. It was a pleasure showing you the Egyptian rooms at the British Museum and I hope you have a lovely holiday along the Nile in Egypt!
Friendly and knowledgeable guide in London. Gavin uplifts your visit to a level that I did not expect. We enjoyed every minute of the tour discovering a lot of interesting things that, without him, we would have missed. I absolutely recommend it. Gavin with a G!!
I am so glad you enjoyed the tour. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
I spent an informative, uplifting afternoon with Gavin on his Secret London tour.
He was personable and professional, sharing his extensive knowledge of the City of Westminster in a friendly and relaxed manner - the perfect touring companion.
As we walked from Embankment Gardens, Gavin shared interesting stories and showed us quirky sites on Savoy Hill, The Strand and St Martin’s, as we headed to our finishing point at Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth. Amongst our photo opportunities was the cobbled street that inspired a Harry Potter alley and a street lamp powered by waste at The Savoy Hotel.
I highly recommend Gavin, an engaging and knowledgeable guide, for Londoners and visitors alike.
Thank you very much for such a lovely review! I always think it's nice to get off the main drag and explore the side streets and alleys. Sometimes this is where you can see some of the most interesting and historical parts of London.
I look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the near future.
What an amazing way to spend an afternoon in London. As a Londoner, I decided to try a secret London tour with Gavin. It is incredible what you don't notice has been under your nose in your own city. The wealth of knowledge, funny anecdotes, and different perspectives we got often just by stopping and facing a different direction to see little gems you would just walk past if someone knowledgable didn't point them out. Our tour took in the old theatre world, the Savoy and Trafalgar Square. I loved the inside secrets about the private gentlemen clubs which still exist today. There was plenty of time for photographs to ask questions and to take in the views.
Definitely worth it rain or shine!
Thank you for taking the time to share your enjoyment of the tour. It is great to hear that, as a Londoner, you were discovering new things that you pass everyday. That is what I try to bring to all of my tours. I love getting people to look a little more closely at a city that has layer upon layer of history and stories to tell.
I look forward to welcoming you to another tour in the future!
I am not one to write many reviews but this tour with Gavin was so wonderful, I wanted to share with everyone!
The changing of the guards tour was absolutely the highlight of our trip! Gavin was such an amazing host and we were SO glad to have him as our guide. Being a 5th generation London resident, Gavin was very knowledgeable, friendly, energetic, informative and helpful. Everything you would want for a tour guide. He was simply the BEST!! I loved all his stories about England and the royal family, I could listen to him all day long. It was such a pleasure to spend the morning with him. He was also great with the kids making sure each child was in the front so they could see, they loved it. Bring the kids!
This tour absolutely surpassed all our expectations and we were both extremely satisfied as it was one of the highlights of our trip.
THANK YOU GAVIN, you were FABULOUS!
Thank you for taking the time to review your experience. I am so happy that you enjoyed the Changing of the Guard Tour. It is lovely to be able to share this wonderful traditional military ceremony now that it is back up and running! I look forward to welcoming you and your family on another of my tours in the near future.
Gavin (with a “G”) gave the family, which included my husband and 2 children aged 10 and 14, a fantastic and memorable guided tour of the Tower of London.
He captured the imagination of the whole family, taking us back in time, using his strong storytelling skills and contagious enthusiasm for the Tower's history.
My son loved the prison and torture chamber and I was particularly touched by the story of Anne Boleyn and her final days spent in the Tower before her execution.
We will definitely be booking another tour with Gavin. Thank you Gavin for an amazing time!
Thank you very much for such a lovely review! It was a pleasure taking you and your family around The Tower of London. I look forward to welcoming you all on another tour soon. I think the children would love The Changing of the Guard Tour.
