We did the black taxi tour. Hands down the best part of our trip to London! Ollie is not only super friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable—like, knew all the cool facts and hidden gems you’d never find on your own. Not to mention he is a pretty great photographer and you’ll get some awesome pictures along the trip. We got to see so many iconic sights up close and personal, and the whole experience felt really special. If you’re in London, this is a must-do! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the city in a fun and unique way!

Matt took my husband and I on a Ted Lasso tour. He picked us up at the airport and showed us all around, taking us to all the Ted Lasso locations, but also showing us the neighborhoods of London. He even brought us biscuits with the boss. He was very friendly, highly professional and full of great knowledge! He even got us in to see Ted Lasso’s practice field, Hayes and Yeading! Great job keeping the secret, Matt! We had the best time. Cheers! We HIGHLY recommend this company and specifically Matt!

We took a Discover Real London Touchdown Tour on the day we arrived at London Heathrow after our overnight flight from the US. This was the BEST decision! Our guide Matt picked us up, took control of our luggage and proceeded to show us his city! The Black Cab can stop in many places, so we were able to drive right up to sights, get out of the cab and take some pictures and hear about it, then get back into the cab and go on to the next sight. We stopped at the Royal Albert Hall, St James Palace, Westminster Abbey/Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, and some very cool and unique shops that I never would have found on my own - we went to Lock & Co Hatters, the American Bar at the Stafford (where the US Air Force hung out during WWII), and so much more. Our guide Matt was fabulous. He was so friendly and helpful and knew SO MUCH about everything! He also has relationships with so many shop owners and hotels and such that he brought us right in. In particular Lock & Co has an entire section at the back of the store of all the people they have made hats for - you will recognize many names and pictures! He started the day asking if there was anything we wanted to see in particular and adjusted the schedule around that. He helped us get our luggage into our Airbnb and went above and beyond in every way. And he is just a really nice person. It was a true pleasure to spend the day with him. This was worth every penny, and eliminated the expense of transportation from the airport and luggage storage. Great tour! Ask for Matt!
