United kingdom private tours

This was such a special experience! Only our group of 4 with Calum, no “tour bus” hassles with too short or too long stops, missing photos or strangers. Calum was born on Orkney and shared anecdotes from growing up here that made us love the island even more. He gave us options that were not in brochures and were the high points of the day in every case! He made it a point to ask about our interests and made the day flexible based on what he learned. Despite cold wind and rain it was a wonderful experience. I actually took notes to read more about the sites and even “recent” history. Calum knows it all! I will be looking at Tours by Locals sites for all future travels. If you plan a trip to Orkney - And you definitely should!!! Then make sure to try and book Calum.

Highlight of our trip! My family and I were in London for 4 days and we wisely chose Marcus because of his knowledge of history, his reviews and his experience with children. From the start we were not disappointed. He was on time and immediately established a rapport with my entire family (ages - 43,41,75,12,9). Marcus is a rare blend of knowledgeable and personality. We chose to do a half day first timer London tour and Marcus has a timed plan which he executed to perfection. In short he was awesome!

We have taken many tours over the years and this was the most amazing experience we have ever had. Nick customized the tour to meet our needs. He got tickets and arranged for us to go to the Inner Circle at Stonehenge for a 7:00 sunrise, then Windsor Castle, a great pub for lunch every sight possible in London. It was a most wonderful day and we are grateful to Nick for this experience of a lifetime.
