Amazing time in London

We spent three days touring London with Mark and Lori we had a wonderful time. They are extremely knowledgeable and best of all they have a great personality and are fun to spend time with. We also spent an afternoon at Windsor with Amanda she was a delight and very knowledgeable. The entire process from the planning of the trip to the execution was flawless. Highly recommend using Private Tours England! Will use them again!

Kevin was an amazing driver.

Absolutely amazing driver Kevin . He went above and beyond — not only was he professional, punctual, and made me feel completely safe, but he was also incredibly kind and thoughtful. He helped me film TikToks, gave such wise advice, and our conversations genuinely made the experience so special. He has such a calm, positive energy and truly loves what he does. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver — he made the trip memorable in the best way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Experience!

Our Private Tours England journey was amazing! Simon, our driver, showed up at exactly the right time, told us fantastic stories/info/tales as we drove, and was extremely helpful and clear about timings, tickets and details. We were picked up at our rental, dropped off at perfect spots at both Stonehenge & the Roman Baths, and were back at the front door of our place happy and relaxed. Highly recommended!

Mark is likely the best!

Mark’s encyclopedic knowledge of history was exceptional. He expressed himself very well, and navigated the route safely and efficiently. He was pleasant, funny and thoughtful, including a surprise stop at the end of our day for which we were so appreciative. We couldn’t imagine a better guide for our day in the Cotswolds! We’re already discussing where we want Mark to take us the next time!

Excellent personalized service

We contacted Private Tours only about a week ahead of when we wanted the tour and they were able to accommodate us. Our driver, Antony, was excellent, safe, flexible to schedule changes, and courteous! The Mercedes all-electric van was very comfortable for four and all our luggage. The two Blue Badge guides, Sandrine and Mike, were also excellent and we had wonderful tours of Bath, Stonehenge and Salisbury.

The whole tour was excellent

The whole tour was excellent. The arrangements from hotels to tours was flawless. I would highly recommend Peter as your driver. Being a historian by training he was extremely knowledgeable and added much to the experience. He was also friendly, flexible, and a excellent driver.

Shane was very professional and a very expert and conscientious driver. He showed up right on time and had the right balance of conversation with us while also allow us to rest and enjoy the sights. Highly recommend Shane!

An Unforgettable tour experience with Private Tours England

We recently had the pleasure of using Private Tours England's services during our September 2025 trip to Britain with our family of five. We're thrilled with our decision, particularly with the private transfers and tour guides. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, providing informative and entertaining tours of the cities and towns we visited.

We're also extremely satisfied with our driver, Mr. Peter, who drove us from London to Bath, Liverpool, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Manchester. His humor and expertise made our journeys smooth, safe, and enjoyable. He even shared valuable insights into the UK's history and culture during our drives.

From our initial inquiries, Private Tours England's administrative staff provided professional service, keeping us updated with prompt emails and swift responses. We'd like to extend our greatest gratitude to Private Tours England for an unforgettable experience

Custom 5 day tour of London

We booked a custom 5 day tour with a private driver guide. We found the Private Tours(PT) very good at listening to what the customer wants and trying to make it happen. I exchanged over 60 emails with Emma, Sandie and Kyle. They responded every time and answered all my questions. I was able to plan a wonderful tour that hit all the places that we were interested in and the prepurchased tickets were sent to my phone each day. The tour with PT was seamless and I did not have to worry about logistics. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Now to our Driver, Dean. Dean is one of a kind and we are so glad he was a part of our tour. He was a wealth of knowledge. Whether it was interesting points of interest we were passing, to history of all of areas of London. He was master of navigating London and its surrounds. He was integral to our success at getting to where we needed to be and he often suggested other places to go that were phenomenal. He made recommendations for places to eat that were amazing.
Our tour was a complete success because of PT personnel behind the screen and Dean who was with us for 5 full days of touring. Thank you to you all.

Shane took the time to customize our tour to what our desires were in our trip to the Cotswolds. Only thing that could have been better was the weather but no one has control over that. Many thanks to Shane!

This was the best planned vacation ever…

This was the best planned vacation ever - and I didn’t have to make the plans! While we had a say so in the places we went - we let them chose the majority & they did a fantastic job!! Our driver - Mark McQueen was the absolute best driver ever! We consider him family now. He’s very knowledgeable and professional! I’d recommend this company in a heartbeat!

Overall an easy and helpful process planning the trip. I had already done a lot of thinking on the itinerary before I reached out to Private Tours England, but the recommendations they did make including for hotels were helpful and improved the trip as a whole. Communication was good throughout. The tour guide, Calvin, was great to work with and certainly helped us see a lot more than we would have been able to on our own. Would definitely plan another trip with this company again.

Memorable private tour countryside -out of London

We booked a private countryside tour through Private Tours England and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From the very beginning, the company was incredibly flexible and responsive, helping us design an itinerary that went perfectly off the beaten path—exactly what we were looking for.

Our guide, Dean, was absolutely outstanding. He’s extremely knowledgeable about English history, culture, and local secrets, and his storytelling made every stop come alive. Dean was also wonderfully personable, engaging, and professional—the kind of guide who feels like a friend by the end of the day.

Every moment was thoughtfully planned yet relaxed, and we saw a side of England that most visitors miss entirely. I can’t recommend Dean and Private Tours England highly enough for anyone seeking a personalized, memorable, and truly exceptional tour experience.

Outstanding Tour Experience with Private Tours England

We so enjoyed our 2nd visit to London! We had the good fortune to have the same tour driver, Dean Bowman, for the 2 days of All-Day Tours. He made a great experience a wonderful experience as he was on-time, he knows the city & surrounding areas extremely well, he made nice recommendations throughout as to places, what to see & grabbing a bite to eat. While each tour was exactly what we hoped for it was Dean that made us feel really welcomed to his City & really seemed to want us to have the very best experiences along the way. He lived up to a term we had always heard being he was "a jolly old chap" and provided a OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE! We cannot thank him enough for A JOB WELL DONE!
