A 2-hour Loch Ness and Caledonian Canal cruise from Dochgarroch Lock, with Urquhart Castle views, live guide stories, and onboard snacks.
“For September We were lucky with the weather . It was a beautiful day and blue skies . The 2 hr trip was great and flew along . Next time I'm back I will be doing it again Irish Dave”
2-hour circular Loch Lomond cruise from Balloch to Luss with live commentary, The Narrows views, and an onboard bar.
“It was a great trip around the loch, with some interesting information, a fantastic set of staff and a fairly adequate bar. There were a few moments where I wished the audio was slightly louder, we stayed mainly under deck with my 5 year old nephew, but he loved his first loch experience, and when he was so excited he spilled his hot chocolate all over, the staff were friendly, helpful, and great with him, can't fault them!”
Walk from All Hallows-by-the-Tower to St Paul’s after dark, hearing London’s unsolved crimes and eerie ghost stories.
“Best tour ever! Super informative and very well spoken. Learned more about the history of the city than I thought I would- was expecting just spooky stories with a little bit of historical context. Would go over and over again if I could!”
A 2.5-hour London walk through James Bond filming spots, real spy lore, and Westminster intrigue, ending at MI6 for a true 007 vibe.
“Amazing tour! Our guide Owen was super knowledgeable, engaging and funny. We will definitely look to book other tours.”
London’s 2-hour historic pub tour: oldest drinking spots, literary street stories, and a complimentary half pint to finish.
“George was an enthusiastic wealth of knowledge and we learned a ton from him. Thank you!”
2-hour Leeds highlights walk on wool, Victorian arcades, and landmark buildings. Blue Badge guide, City Square tips included.
“Sarah was excellent & so knowledgeable. The tour was really informative & gave you a real flavour of the history of Leeds & most of its famous buildings. I would highly recommend.”
Walk Hadrian’s Wall with a local guide in period costume. See a milecastle, Vallum ditch, and learn Roman Britain in 2 hours.
“We unfortunately had issues with a recalcitrant sat-nav and arrived 10 minutes late so did miss just the beginning. However, soon picked it up and the presentation was first class. A good amount of intro and historicl discussions coupled with a walk along the wall. Really professional yet casual and would highly recommend to others”
A 2-hour private Cambridge University walking tour with a student guide, tailored themes, and iconic chapel and bridge photo stops.
“Kieran was a great guide, full of interesting facts about the history of Cambridge and the colleges. We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 hour tour and would definitely do it again in order to see and learn even more. We cannot recommend the walking tour enough.”
Two hours on the RHIB Mis Me from Penzance Harbor, scanning Mounts Bay for dolphins, seals, whales and birds in 360-degree comfort.
A 2-hour British Museum highlights tour with a licensed guide. See Egypt, Greece, Rome, Rosetta Stone, Parthenon, Elgin Marbles, and more.
“Daniel conducted the tour in a wonderfully informative and free flowing way - navigating around the vast number of exhibits and crowds skillfully, providing an excellent tour within a 2 hr period- very enjoyable!”
A 2-hour app guided walk through Bath’s icons, from Royal Crescent and Roman Baths to Bath Abbey, Pulteney Bridge, Holburne Museum, and Jane Austen sites.
“Audio was in heel veel talen beschikbaar en zeer duidelijk. Beter zou zijn om vooraleer te starten , reeds een 10 tal locaties op de kaart van bath te zetten waar men kan starten. Wij bezochten vooraf de Romeinse baden en gingen dan naar het opgegeven startpunt van de tour , ongeveer 2 km naar het noorden van de stad. Daarna de hele weg terug als onderdeel van de wandeling. Indien we dit geweten hadden, zouden we de audiowandeling gestart hebben aan de Romeinse Baden .”
2-hour self-guided kayak hire on Loch Leven in Glencoe, with wetsuits and tips, plus a chance to spot seals around the islands.
“Our kayaking was self-guided after being given some pointers. It was absolutely gorgeous, the wetsuits kept us warm, and we even saw some seals! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Scotland.”
A 2-hour Shakespeare walking tour from Blackfriars, with actor-style speeches, surprising memorials, and London stories you will not get alone.
“Our guide, Declan, did an extraordinary job of giving us a very informative tour, filled with history, facts, timelines, and humour. I would highly recommend his tour and personally would love to take the tour again in the future. I understand that he has other walking tours and suspect they are equally informative and enjoyable.”
