On short notice I reached out to Private Tours England (PTE) to surprise my son with a whirlwind tour of London before a summer trip. From the first outreach to drop off at the end of the day we had the most wonderful tour of London with Mark, an experienced, knowledgeable and highly skilled chauffer.

PTE and I coordinated pick up, itinerary and added wish list - traffic and weather dependent. The staff responded quickly and gave good and fair guidance on what could be accomplished in a 3/4 day.

Our guide and driver, Mark was prompt, friendly, informative and flexible. His knowledge of the streets and traffic allowed us to see the majority of sites on my list which was a real thrill as we got so much done. We had the opportunity to stop and enjoy the palace, St. Paul's cathedral, the tower, walk the tower bridge, enjoy a great lunch on the Thames and walk parliament square to be up close to Big Ben. We then had a relaxed drive to Oxford and the drop off was right at the door of our summer accommodation. We achieved a lot of what we wanted to because of Mark and look forward to visiting again.

I have traveled the world with tour guides and drivers and Mark is in the top 10! PTE really made the trip special and seamless from plane to destination.

Private Tours England supported a recent client of mine for a private trip to London and Paris. It was a short trip and was made memorable by Private Tours England. The online itinerary was so helpful and best of all - updates were made as they traveled. Every detail was accounted for - and Laura even customized the itinerary in a format requested. I highly recommend Private Tours England for your exclusive and memorable trips!

My wife and I just completed an extended holiday in London. We used Private Tours London for an extended trip to Kent/Royal Tunbridge Wells to visit places like Chartwell, Leeds Castle, Hever Castle etc. The Private Tours London team could not have been easier to work with. Everything was seamless and Peter, our driver/guide, was terrific. I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend our driver & guide Dean, for he is knowledgeable, professional and resourceful. This was a study trip for my husband & I where we especially wanted to visit Oxford where C.S. Lewis wrote, worshipped and taught. Visiting the C.S. Lewis home, the “Kilns”, was a first for all of us. Walking in Oxford along Addison’s Road on the River Thames was a dream come true. The small church near Lewis’ home was hard to find, but we did. Going inside and seeing the window by his pew from the Chronicles of Narnia was a highlight. I appreciated experiencing where Charles Dickens lived as a young boy by the London docks that inspired him to write classics such as Oliver Twist. Dean made it possible on our trip to Dover to see the White Cliffs from England’s side. With much appreciation, Becky Szeyller

Here’s the review:

We had an absolutely fantastic trip with PTE. From start to finish, the service was exceptional, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore the UK. We were especially delighted to see Shane as our driver on the last day—it was the perfect way to end our journey.

Despite a few issues in Scotland, PTE went above and beyond in their response, offering generous compensation when we only expected reimbursement for a couple of small items. We truly appreciate their thoughtfulness. The group had a wonderful day with access to electric carts, great weather, and lots of memories. Meanwhile, Mary and I had an incredible time visiting Stirling Castle, seeing the Kelpies, and soaking in the beauty of the Highlands.

The accommodations in York and Stratford were luxurious, and the train ride back to London was a highlight in itself. Overall, we are so glad we chose PTE. Laura and the entire team provided us with the best tour possible, perfectly tailored to our schedule. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to have a seamless and memorable experience in the UK. Thank you, PTE!

We recently embarked on a two-week adventure through Great Britain, and our experience with Private Tours England far surpassed our expectations. The guides, John and Dean, were exceptionally knowledgeable about the rich history and landmarks of Scotland and England. Their deep expertise, combined with their warm and engaging personalities, made the trip not only informative but genuinely unforgettable. Every detail was handled with impeccable professionalism, ensuring all of our needs were met seamlessly.
John and Dean’s passion, respect, and love for the centuries-old traditions and heritage of both Scotland and England were evident in every moment, bringing the history and culture vividly to life.
What truly sets Private Tours England apart is their ability to tailor the experience so it feels uniquely crafted for you. Their meticulous attention to detail and personal touch made us feel like we were their sole focus, turning our journey through this beautiful island nation into an intimate and meaningful experience. The memories we created with their guidance made this one of the most memorable trips we've ever had.
We wholeheartedly recommend Private Tours England to anyone seeking an authentic, personalized tour experience. We will book with them again when we return and have already recommended them to friends and family.

Private Tours England was absolutely wonderful to work with. They worked diligently with me so that my husband and I could squeeze in tours of both Canterbury and Stratford-upon-Avon although the two were geographically challenging to accomplish in a day and a half! We were just looking to hit the high points of each city and be able to see where we might like to spend more time when we come back for another visit, and the staff was more than willing to accommodate us in this endeavor.

As for our tour guide Mark R., I just really cannot say enough good things. He was extremely accommodating, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Most of all, he was flexible and fun to be around, especially since we spent several hours both days in the car! Mark was always early to pick us up or drop us off at each location, making the last two days of our vacation relaxing and stress-free. We will definitely call on Private Tours England again in the future! --Deanna C.

If you have limited time in London and wish to get the most out of your experience, employ Private Tours of London! Although they cannot guarantee sunshine, we got that too!

Request Grahm Winter in that of all of our travel around the world, you cannot draw a better guide! His knowledge of both history as well as knowing the city like the back of his hand, is only surpassed by his charm and wit!

He is welcome to our home in the States at any time that we are actually there!
