We had so much fun on our first tour that we booked a second one later in the week! The first day we did Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Lacock (instead of Bath). David was very patient and easy to chat with. He even showed us the Eton area and Woodhenge. He gave us pastries when we finished Windsor Castle. We all had a lovely day. Later in the week, we did Leeds Castle, Bodiam Castle, Canterbury and White Cliffs of Dover, which was also excellent. We saw so much in those two days and David was so kind. He was like a dad, making sure we had umbrellas and that we weren't hungry. We'd definitely book another tour with him in the future.

I was charged for the tour, showed up 15 minutes early stayed 15 minutes past the tour time at the correct location. No text, no e-mail, called the tour operator Pigeon Tours, the voicemail was full. The next morning, I called Viator, the tour was cancelled because the minimum number of guests was not met but the e-mail was sent the day after the event. I wasted two hours of my time and money traveling to and from the tour location. Disrespectful, horrible, awful, bad experience. Viator needs to remove them from their website!

Awesome, outstanding, amazing, top-notch! We honestly cannot think of enough good things to say about John & his tours. We had a wonderful day, in fact John is the best tour guide we have ever had! Not to mention how gorgeous Leeds castle in Kent is, it’s magic. We could have spent the whole day in the medieval town of Canterbury it’s got everything from good food to shopping plus history. John is really easy to be around & he makes the day run so smoothly cause he has thought every detail through for you, so you can just enjoy your day. Would book with John again in a heartbeat!

I have used other transportation services from Heathrow to my hotels before visiting London, but this has been the best so far! As soon as I arrived in the airport terminal my driver Paulo greeted me, it was so easy to locate him which was a relief. Expedia booked the incorrect travel dates that I was arriving and advised me to cancel and re book again myself online, I explained to the rep I was having difficulty locating a private transfer suitable for my needs especially with Covid still running rampant. Instead I decided to call City transfers myself and there staff changed everything that expedia screwed up. I didn't have to cancel re book anything as Expedia advised me to do. I even received a courtesy phone call the day before my departure to confirm my details again. I also received text message when my drivers had arrived. Extremely great service, definitely new fav for private transportation when visiting in the UK!

Could not go on trip because cancellations of travel restrictions because of COVID. They say you get a refund but refused to give refund. Not an honest company. Never again.
