Emily was absolutely fantastic! She was so knowledgeable that she knew the answers to all of our random questions. She was able to traverse the crowds and get us to the best locations for sightseeing. Above all else, she has an amazing personality and her depth and breadth of knowledge is incredibly impressive. I highly recommend Emily!

When travel companions had to return home unexpectedly, I was left on my own to explore London. Walks saved the day! A fabulous, extremely knowledgeable guide and wonderful day long tour. Perfect solution! I will do it again & again!
