'Ultimate' Day Tour of London

We had been to London quite a few times in the past so this trip we hired Robert to take us on a tour to see “the "hidden gems" of London. The side of London most people don’t see”. And wow, Robert and driver Brian really delivered. Robert sat in the back of the spacious cab facing us while Brian skillfully maneuvered the streets of London. In a word, it was everything we wanted and so much more. Driving in the center of London is not for the feint of heart, and can’t even be done by a tourist renting a car. But Brian was able to get us everywhere while Robert pointed out all the sights, frequently stopping so we could get out of the cab and see the important sights up close. It was so much more relaxing than if we had had tried this on our own and so much more informative. Being a career cab driver himself, Robert has a head full of London facts, lore, and stories about the architecture and history we would not have known on our own, but that’s why we love ToursByLocals. For me, the highlight was stopping in at the Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese pub (dates back to 1538!) On Fleet Street for a pint. For Mary, Robert modified the itinerary to take us to some of her ancestral locations. We really felt like locals with Robert. I could go on, but if you are looking for a relaxing way to see the “real” London, I highly recommend signing up for Robert W’s tour.

The team of Robert and Brian were so good to us. We saw so much of London, and having Robert in the back of cab with us gave us a much better opportunity to ask questions. Brian sure knows his way around London. Great tour package, recommend it to alone who wants to see at a high level so much of London and Robert asked us so many questions in the first 20 minutes of the tour, he was able to customize so much of tour during our time with him.

Rob was passionate about history and was a fabulous storyteller. We had the best time with him.

Robert is a great guide and very knowledgeable!! Brian is also a great driver!!

Rob was the perfect tour guide for this ultimate tour of London. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a great wit.

Our all-day tour with Robert and Brian was absolutely fantastic and one of the highlights of our trip to London. From the very beginning, it felt less like a formal tour and more like spending the day with old friends. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable about London and Westminster, and they shared that knowledge in a way that was engaging, conversational, and easy to understand. They were also extremely accommodating to our requests and made a genuine effort to get to know us throughout the day. That personal touch made the experience feel unique and memorable. We were especially grateful for how they included our young daughters—encouraging them to ask questions, make observations, and really be part of the experience. That meant a lot to us as a family. If you’re visiting London, we highly recommend this tour. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Robert and Brian again and look forward to seeing them on a future trip!
