Our group of 6 (3 seniors, 2 adults, and 1 child) did the combination Cambridge Walking Tour and…read morePunting Tour, along with King's College Chapel admission, this afternoon and enjoyed it. Anita was our walking tour guide, and she was friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed learning about the history of Cambridge and various colleges within it. The inside of King's College Chapel is gorgeous and we were glad we purchased this "upgrade" option with our tour. The punting experience was pleasant and we got great views of various colleges from the river that we couldn't get from land. That said, it's important to note that the tour guides share much of the same content during the walking and punting tours (our punting guide Moses was also pretty good!). It was nice hearing the Cambridge student perspective from Anita. Overall, we had a positive experience and would definitely recommend this tour!

The punter was a student. This was during their exam week so we saw students in graduation gowns…read moreand students celebrating the end of exams. The punter told us interesting anecdotes of the school and its history. They also have the option to allow you to steer the punt, but we saw that it wasn't easy to steer because some of those people got stuck in the wrong direction. Highly recommend for a relaxed boat ride on the river to enjoy the scenery of the school grounds.

He was outgoing, answered all of our questions, and gave great recommendations. His punting was skilled and safe. If I could give him 6 stars I absolutely would.

We booked a private tour for our family of 5 to see Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, and Averbury…read moreStone Circle and it worked very well. Definitely recommend booking a private tour especially if you're a large group - costs can compare favorably vs. a bus tour. Plus, the big bonus is the convenience and time savings. We were picked up right at our hotel (instead of having to trek to a meeting point), we could plan our own itinerary as we wished - and modify it along the way (which we did) and enjoyed the flexibility of staying as long as we wanted and choosing when and where to have lunch. Our driver was pleasant and not only was he on time for our pick-up, but he was early so we got a quicker start on our tour. We also appreciated that he was a safe driver too as well as very amenable and flexible to our ad-hoc changes but also offered suggestions to our itinerary that worked out well. The only thing I might suggest for added convenience of private tours is if International Friends wcould offer to book entry tickets for sites like Stonehenge for you instead of having to book such things separately yourself. However, we were very pleased with their service and how well it worked out.

Participated in the Downtown Abbey tour early August. Our guide was Tony and he darn near ruined…read morethe experience. I found his opinions offensive and his driving scary. While still in London we witnessed the aftermath of a bike accident and he exclaimed: "There are too many bikes on the road! Look another (accident)! I love it!" He then proceeded to get involved in fender bender he caused by being overly aggressive behind the wheel. It did not help when he pointed out the other driver 'drove like a woman'. En-route to Highclere we all learned his opinion of the US presidential candidates. Needless to say they were not positive. I don't know about you but when I am traveling away from the US, I do not need a lesson in good/bad politics. Just show me the sights. As soon as I could, I walked away from Tony becuase even his opinions of the characters of Downton were annoying. ("Mary was a slut. Mathew was a wimp".) But if all of this was not enough, post-tour a travel companion wrote a letter to the owner of this travel tour company describing her discontentment. Instead of getting a response saying thank you and we will look into this matter...hope it will not discourage you from traveling with us again...she got a less than satisfactory note defending Tony; attempting to discredit her views because according to Tony none of these things happened. He concluded: "You did not like your driver/guide but I guess, not everyone gets along with everyone." I am not fond of writing this type of review and would have been willing to pass it off to just an annoying guide during an otherwise great day. But after seeing the owner's poor response, I have concluded I cannot support a company that has miserable customer service policies.

I wish I had completed the tour earlier in my trip because that would have given me time to revisit some of the spots. In addition, other areas of interest were pointed out during the tour. I like the tour is free because I can just show up during a time that works for me rather than make a reservation and need to change / cancel it later. If you're in the city as a tourist, plans may change without notice, so having flexibiluty is really nice. Well done !

My wife and I did the Royal London Walk with Andrew. He was incredibly knowledgable about the…read morehistory of London and it's royalty. He covered over 1000 years of history over the two hour walk. We started at Trafalgar Square, through Royal London (seeing the beginning and up close changing of the guard) then to St. James Park, on to Downing Street, Big Ben and so many other great historical locations. There is no cost for the tour, and the guides work solely on tips, but there was no pressure at all to do so. We tipped 20 pounds and it was worth every penny. You can tell Andrew loves what he does, and likes meeting new people. It was so good we went back for the 6:30 pm London's Ghostly Haunts Walk, but were 7 minutes late and missed it. TIP: Get there on time!

It was great to listen to his commentary and also to march along beside them as they made their way to Buckingham Palace. We were able to see them from a few different spots and then we hung out at Buckingham Palace to take photos for a while before heading down to where the guards return after they're done. We would not have known about their return trip if it weren't for the information we got from Alex. It really was a great experience!

Then we walked with the soldiers to Buckingham Palace for the rest of the ceremony. We were intrigued with facts that were both praising of the Royal family as well as those facts that weren't so flattering. Do you remember the days when you could get truth from the news? Both sides of the facts? Well, they have their guides trained on facts. Good and bad. So you can decide for yourself.

The London All in One tour with Sinead was amazing! I saw and learnt so much. Sinead is very…read moreknowledgeable about all the sites and gave great recommendations on things to do and places to eat. She also had a personal microphone so it was easy to hear her in a big group. When people got separated from the group, she sent them her location and we were able to regroup. She was very personable and we saw so much during our time together. I did the tour on a Saturday at 10:00 am. Tour began outside Green Park Station. It was easy to find the tour guide. This tour is 6 hours and I saw sites in Westminster, City of London, and additional sights. There is a lunch break halfway through the tour. The tour ends outside the Tower of London. To name a few, we saw Buckingham Palace, The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, 10 Downing St., Churchill War Rooms, Trafalgar Square. We didn't go inside the places, just the outside of it. Though there was no changing of the palace guards on Saturday due to preparations for the coronation and Easter, we were able to see changing of the horse guard. Sinead knew exactly where to stand to have the best view. Sinead also has YouTube videos so definitely check out her channel if you are traveling to London. Free tours by foot are pay what you like tours. I highly recommend this tour if you want to get an overview of London's history and see iconic sites.

I love the Sandeman's tours! We have done them in Brussels, Amsterdam, and London and they have…read morealways been great! In London, we did 2 separate tours, the free 2.5 hour walking tour (just FYI make sure to tip at the end) and the Old City Tour which lasted about 3-3.5 hours. The free walking tour was a great introduction to the city and meets in Covent Garden, which is centrally located on several underground lines. We went through Westminster, Trafalgar Square, and past the National Gallery. We also walked past St. Jame's Palace and Buckingham Palace and through St. James Park. We saw the Horse Guards Parade and witnessed the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. We saw Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and the Churchill War Rooms. Our guide was originally from Portugal but really knew his London history and culture after living there for 12 years. He definitely made the tour entertaining and informative. The Old City Tour focused on the City of London (which is actually incredibly small) and its history. We began in Covent Garden and ended at the Tower of London. In between we saw the tower bridge, London Bridge (it's not impressive actually), Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, The Church of the Knights Templar, Mansion House, the Bank of England, the Royal Exchange, the WWII Blitz area, where the fire of London began, and the barristers courts. We also saw the old jail and the current courthouse. Our tour guide was actually originally from Canada and is a history teacher in London. He was very entertaining, perhaps less theatrical than our first guide, but more historically informed. I believe the tickets were 12 or 15 pounds each. Sandeman's is a great company and I highly recommend all of their tours in the cities they have them in!

We were taken to many photo spots and I love all the context we get. Dave the tour guide was so knowledgeable and super kind. On these tour he tells your tips on how to navigate around the city and etiquette. He was willing to give recommendations and directions when the tour ends too. Remember that these tours had a lot of research done and that you should tip as much you think it is worth. These tours are such worth it as they can build some structure on the trip. I look forward booking with Sandman's tour company again. :)
