I'm really glad I booked with Richard's Tours and certainly wasn't dissapointed! I had other things on in the morning so with short notice, Richard responded to agree a meet in the afternoon and he was bang on time. He was presentable, amiable and down to earth. It was immediately obvious that he was very keen to share his well researched knowledge, which was reassuring given that having paid for a private tour, I was getting a lot more than an off the shelf group tour (from what others have described to me). Born a Londoner and more than familiar with the area, he regularly checked that the tour pace was comfortable to ensure I was happy with the 3 hour route. He was very helpful with fotos and encouraged questions and discussions on this still mysterious subject, which is pretty clear that he's personally interested in, so much so that in the short time, not only did I acquire a lot of knowledge, but he's actually perked my own interest in Jack The Ripper! Although some parts of the area are still dodgy, I felt completely at ease being with Richard, who increasingly came across as more of a friendly local rather than a tour guide, and despite the atrocious weather, the 3 hours passed well beyond my expectations given his abilities - so excellent value for money. In conclusion, I should add that I'm also from London, but Richard's Tours aren't just for tourists, so if you're short on time and want a knowledgeable host, then Richard Chambers is your man. I, for one, will be checking out his other tours!

Amazing experience! Our pilot Bob took us around Central London in such a professional and friendly manner. He was very polite all through out and made the experience so much better as we were able to sightsee all the popular landmarks. My partner was extremely happy with her surprise! The company as a whole were really helpful with bookings and directions to the venue.

Awesome, outstanding, amazing, top-notch! We honestly cannot think of enough good things to say about John & his tours. We had a wonderful day, in fact John is the best tour guide we have ever had! Not to mention how gorgeous Leeds castle in Kent is, it’s magic. We could have spent the whole day in the medieval town of Canterbury it’s got everything from good food to shopping plus history. John is really easy to be around & he makes the day run so smoothly cause he has thought every detail through for you, so you can just enjoy your day. Would book with John again in a heartbeat!

Enjoy a visit to the home of legendary Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill. Ye Olde England Tours were the first to offer a tour to Chartwell with a private guide/driver in a comfortable car and you will be whisked away from busy London with a short drive through the beautiful English countryside to Chartwell House in the county of Kent.  See how Churchill left them and marvel at the gorgeous views that made him pick Chartwell as his family home and also some of the incredible paintings created by the great man himself. Rarely can any man have been so talented, he being also a distinguished writer and notable historian as well as former soldier.  No visitor to Great Britain should miss the home of perhaps one of the most famous leaders in world history as well as his glorious landscaped gardens.
