This was truly tailored to our desires and the rest of the family also enjoyed it as the locations and info shared were interesting for everyone! Our guide, Joe, was friendly and kind and incredibly knowledgeable. He took several photos of us, including orchestrating the iconic Abbey Road photo (which meant literally stopping traffic 😂). Pick up and drop off was an incredible added bonus that saved us time and money. Highly recommend!”
