Private 3-hour Beatles taxi tour of Liverpool with hotel pickup, photo stops at Strawberry Field, Penny Lane, Mendips and Woolton.

Join a guided Westminster walk with Churchill War Rooms. See royal sights on foot, then go underground with an audio visit.

“Dan is a very knowledgeable guide and made our tour an excellent one. My children thoroughly enjoyed the tour and asked me to rate him 10 out of 10”
Cycle royal London from the South Bank to Westminster, hear palace and parliament stories, and enjoy a relaxed 3.5-hour ride for $56.
“This is a great way to get to know London. You are taken to all major landmarks on a comfortable ride in four hours. The guide was entertaining and knowledgable and had little interesting stories about landmarks that wouldn't learn on your own. I highly recommend it to first time visitors to London who want to see everything and who have limited time (in four hours you see the layout of the city and discover all the major hotspots). Don't be intimidated by the fact you will be biking for four hours. There are plenty of stops and London is flat.”
Ride a classic Liverpool taxi for a 3-hour Beatles tour to Penny Lane, Woolton church, Ringo’s street, and Strawberry Field.
“Our tour guide was wonderful and showed us where songs originated and where the Beatles played and their homes they grew up in. The only issue for us was the actual time in the taxi cab … very bumpy and was very uncomfortable.”
Eat your way through East London on a 3-hour secret Indian food tour with curries, naan, beer, sweets, and local history.
“Had a great time with our guide Sherif on the Indian food tour. He was knowledgeable and fun and so enthusiastic, making sure we were all having fun and enjoying the food. It was a LOT of food, and a great variety. Liked it so much I booked another secret food tour for a few days later!”
A 3-hour sunset bike ride through central London, crossing Tower Bridge and Millennium Bridge, with stops at St Paul’s, Tate Modern, and Westminster.
“Very nice. The guide had interesting stories. And it was a funny ride.”

“Our private guided tour of the Victoria & Albert Museum was top notch. Our guide, Robert, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He is also a very nice man and brings the museum to life with his enthusiasm. The museum itself is gorgeous and full of interesting art and artifacts. We hope to return again to this incredible site and to tour other places in London under Robert’s expert tutelage.”
