Perfect Intro to London
We were in London for a short time, and our tour with Chris was the perfect way to get acquainted with both historical and modern London in just a couple hours. Chris was not only friendly and engaging, but truly a wealth of knowledge about history and life in London. He was also flexible to ensure our tour fit in a pretty compact day of dining and other activities. Our tour with Chris was the highlight of our short time in London and we'd highly recommend him to any future visitors. Thank you Chris!

Spectacular Art Historian!
My husband and I hired Maria to guide us through the National At Gallery during the Van Gogh exhibit and also the next day at the British Museum. She brought the history and the stories of the paintings and artists alive with her great depth and breadth of knowledge.
We told her what we were interested in and she curated a tour just for our interests. She was a wonderful story teller with her knowledge of the various cultures, especially in the British Museum.
We so enjoyed Maria and her charming personality, that we will definitely reserve her guidance when we return to London for another great holiday of museums and galleries.
