“Our tour guide Mark was outstanding, very knowledgeable, a great driver and passionate. I had the most wonderful day on this tour, the sites and scenery were beautiful, I only wish we had a little more time at the Beatrix Potter House, it is such a magical location and it would have been nice to stay maybe 15-30 minutes longer to appreciate it more so, but I know there was a tight schedule. Thank you so much for the lovely day!! A memory I will cherish for a lifetime.”

“On s'est sentit un peu à l'abandon et beaucoup trop de bus pour ce qu'on visite par contre le chauffeur a été excellent”
A private London chauffeur tour with hotel pickup, royal sights, historic landmarks, multilingual guides, and a flexible four or six-hour route.
“J’ai l’habitude de faire appel à des guides privés ou non, mais lorsqu’il s’agit d’une prestation privée, on est vraiment dans l’attente d’une expérience client au niveau de la prestation tarifaire. Mais quelle déception Du début à la fin Aucun contenu réel Aucune initiative et pas non plus force de proposition La formation du guide a du être succincte et lui n’y peut pas grand chose. Il a biensur le souci de bien faire mais le résultat en est, l’expérience client était p’us que catastrophique. Quand au chauffeur, c’était la cerise sur le gâteau, désagréable, prend un sens interdit, fait demi tour sur la route et enfin de nous laissez…”
Explore Beatrix Potter’s Lake District with Hill Top, Wray Castle, Hawkshead, Tarn Hows, and scenic stops in a six-person group.
“With such an informative guide, we felt like we really got to understand Beatrice Potter’s life purpose beyond that of simply being the wonderful author snd illustrator that she was! What an amazing legacy she left the world and without our guide’s carefully crafted tour we may have left this magical space without this deeper understanding. Other details of life in the Lakes District really added to the narration on the day. Many thanks - a most worthwhile tour indeed. We may never come this way again as Australians, so we are delighted we choose this tour.”
Pick a city, a castle or a loch.
