  • It was amazing watching our band (University of Dayton, Flyers) play at 3 different venues while we were in London [...] We really enjoyed our tour guides (Keith and Gabby) they were so much fun, and had lots of knowledge of all of the places that we went to. They also helped us a lot when we wanted to travel on our own time by helping us plan how to get to different places that we wanted to go and see by ourselves, it was very helpful! Keith and Gabby were very friendly very helpful and we enjoyed them a lot they were a lot of FUN!!!

  • I love Keith and Gabby, they treated us like old friends the entire time. My only complaint is that I wish I had more time to do all the things we did.

  • We had an amazing trip. Keith and Gabby were so sweet and were super helpful everytime I had a question. Gabby helped get me directions on the best route to the London Eye while still being able to sightsee on the way. It was a perfect smooth journey especially since I was nervous about it being my first time overseas.

  • This trip was truly the trip of a lifetime. Our tour directors, Gabby and Keith were excellent in every single way. Their communication was clear and consistent, we never felt like we were left in the dark or did not know how to be prepared for the next itinerary item. There were a few tricky moments, as expected, they were handled with the upmost professionalism and grace. The sights and sounds of London were echoed throughout our group and I loved having room in the schedule to explore on our own as well as doing activities as a group.
