Private Tours England Reviews 

This might be the best experience I’ve ever had with a company in terms of customer service! Leading into our trip, Megan went out of her way to adjust our itinerary to our needs and wishes and even discounted the trip based on one of our party falling out of the trip last minute so that we could afford it.

On the day of, Mark customized our experience by showing up in our hotel lobby as Mr. napkin head :-)…what a wonderful way to kick off our true “the holiday (movie)” tour around Christmas time! I can’t say enough good things about this company. I would only book with them from here on out!

Both my husband and I truly enjoyed the journey with Private Tours England (PTE) to Manchester. We had a great time touring Old Trafford. We had Mark to thank for bringing us to Cotsworld and driving us along the picturesque countryside. It was beautiful and breathtaking. If there is one place we want to return, it would be Cotsworld - to explore more and spend some time breathing the fresh cold air and mix with the friendly locals. We hope to do this with PTE again in our next trip to the UK. Mark, our tour guide, was wonderful!

Thank you to the PTE team, i.e. Laura, Kyle and Sandie for speedily responding to my emails, and for gaining my trust. I am the type of person who do not trust someone or a company easily, therefore in my email comm with PTE, I had asked lengthy questions intentionally to do a due diligence, albeit virtually. With many scamming incidents lately, I was very careful before committing to this tour.

Dean, our driver and guide was excellent, informative and funny. He took care of my family and me. It was well worth to have private service to Windsor.

We thoroughly enjoyed our family tour around London. Dean was so knowledgeable and beyond helpful, the day was absolutely fantastic!

Excellent organization and planning! Almost every detail including meals, ticketing, guides were planned for!
We absolutely loved the stress-free program and had only to turn up on time before being whisked away in the Mercedes van for the days' itinerary. Dean, our driver and guide, was most reliable and professional. He also made personal recommendations and gave running commentaries along the way based on his experience, local knowledge and history. We really appreciated it!

Dean was a great driver and tour guide ! Loved his sense of humor and knowledge of the history of England.

Shane was our driver to the Old Vic and around London town to 4 Banksy locations including the the graffitti tunnel under the Leak St arches that i had not heard of. He's an excellent driver and went out his way to show us how to get to the Bridge theatre. This was a spontaneous request in traffic and he didnt blink an eye. Had a wonderful experince and recommend Private Tours of England.

Dean connected with all of us. He was funny and very informative about the city. He tried hard to make our experience memorable and personal. We were a multigenerational group and Dean did awesome making it fun. We would all recommend Dean!

The first circuit of our tour was of England and Wales with driver guide Kyri. The experience was fabulous. Kyri was very personable, humorous, knowledgeable and expert at adjusting our itinerary on the go. Next we met driver guide Callum for a journey through Scotland. From Edinburgh through the Highlands and Isle of Skye, Callum showed his local knowledge, passion for all things Scottish and a commitment to service. Overall, our experience was excellent & highly recommended.

We had a great experience with Dean. Lovely tour and super organized. We would highly recommend.

Our large group came to London from the US for my wife’s 50th birthday. Our day spent with Dean & Shane was nothing short of spectacular! Our 10 hour adventure began in London and took us to Woodhenge and Stonehenge, then to Windsor Castle, and then back to London. Every single step of the way was absolutely perfect. From the start, they made us all feel totally safe & comfortable in an unfamiliar country. They were kind, knowledgeable, flexible and so personable! They felt like part of our group! If we could give them more than 5 stars, we would without hesitation. We cannot thank them enough for a day of absolutely UNFORGETTABLE memories!! Thank you Dean & Shane!!!!

Everything about this trip was as promised. We were picked up at Heathrow by Calvin who made us feel welcome from the first sentence. Our hotel stays were lovely and without any issues. The food at all of them was delicious.

Our driver Mark quickly rose to the challenge after asking what we wanted from our tour. Our intention was to visit the towns and churches that some of Reese's ancestors were a part of and to access any information available regarding these people who lived in the late 1500's to 1640. Mark made it his business to locate the churches and offices which might provide us with such information.

We appreciated the ability to change some of the itinerary with Mark as needed and discovered additional places in Ipswich related to Reese's history and where he could access information from back in the States via the internet.

Mark also chose some delightful routes to travel and experience. We saw the real England away from London thanks to his choices. Flatford Mill was a pure delight to see and one of the highlights of the trip.

All of the tours were of interest to us and we learned much from having experienced them. In retrospect, we probably tried to do too much but I would not change a thing about the trip except to schedule mid-day meals a little better.

Our communication with Laura at Private Tours was plentiful and friendly. It was a big plus for us to not have to navigate directions, decide on hotels, or buy tickets. We were met every morning promptly and taken to our hotel when it was deemed by us that the day touring was complete. The only thing we had to decide was our evening plans. Wifi in the car was a very nice perk. The team of Laura, Sandie, Calvin and Mark made all the difference.

We would definitely use this tour company again and are recommending it to friends and family.

Dean was a great driver. Very timely in getting us around. He was very informative and friendly.

Dean was amazing! Customized the tour to what we wanted and showed us amazing villages. Would absolutely recommend and he made the day unforgettable.

We had a great tour with Peter all over Wales for 8 days. He took us anywhere we wanted to go and was an excellent historian. He was always timely and driving was great. His passion for history made the tour both educational and enjoyable.

We were so fortunate to have had a fascinating tour led by a great and deeply knowledgeable guide/driver. The level or organization and itinerary were ideal. We had great weather, food and valuable time with our compassionate guide.

I highly recommend Private Tours England! Emma helped me to create the itinerary which included various stops throughout the Cotswolds. Dean was a wonderful driver and tour guide! His offered creative suggestions to help make the afternoon with my daughter fun and enjoyable. He knew exactly where to take us for the perfect Instagram pictures, told hilarious stories while giving us a history lesson of England and kept us entertained throughout the trip. Thank you for a seamless afternoon! I will most definitely tell all my friends to book with PTE.

Fantastic time exploring the world outside of London. Our guide Dean was terrific. Knowledgeable, personable and quickly understood our interests. He recommended sites to see that added to our understanding of history and the areas we travelled to. The planning group at Private Tours England was very responsive and included everything we wanted to see. The one observation was that we did a bit a backtracking when travelling between towns which took up time and didn’t add to the experience. On the whole it was a wonderful trip and we are most appreciative.

Private Tours England did a great job putting together a memorable itinerary and coordinated details including all ticket purchases and transport. Special note of commendation for our driver-guide who added tremendously to the enjoyment of our trip. He was professional, personable, proficient and knowledgeable. Should you choose to use the services of Private Tours of England (highly recommended) including transport, be sure to ask for Calvin.

Fantastic Stonehenge and Cotswold day with Shane. He was a great driver and showed us fun things along the way. We extended the tour 2 hours. We loved it and highly recommend!
