Our customers say...

"Our friends and family have already heard and we shall confirm how much we like BCHT and the great service you provide. Thank you for setting up our tours and allowing us to select William as our tour guide. It goes without saying how much we have enjoyed our tours and time with William. His history knowledge is superb and we enjoy his quirky personality that fits ours. We intend to use your services again and would enjoy meeting you on our next visit to London. Infact, we started a list of sites and experiences we would like to see and do with William. We will contact you once we set a date and firmed up our new Wish List. Thank you for making our stay in London memorabile... AGAIN!"

"It was amazing! They both did a wonderful job, were professional and friendly and so knowledgeable! I have been to London multiple times and was astounded at how much I learned! It was also nice to see the “non touristy” sites which makes me feel like I know more about the “real London”. I would certainly recommend this service to anyone and, especially for those like me, who have a mobility issue, it was a godsend. It allowed me to get into areas that I would not have been able to get to had I had to walk into them. Bill was very thoughtful in how he maneuvered to get me close and never made me feel like the old lady. He was a true gentleman! I know that Michele enjoyed the ghost tour and I have seen some of her Facebook posts on it and she was very pleased. And I, personally, was glad it didn’t focus on Jack the Ripper and Harry Potter! I am so glad that I found your service and will certainly be back in touch on my next trip. I want to see and learn more about a city that is one of my favorites! I would be glad to discuss my experience with anyone who wants more detailed information if you would find that helpful. Thank you again for the wonderful experience! And special thanks to Bill and Mick! Take good care!"

"Our tour on Saturday was really good. Paul met us promptly as arranged and introduced himself asking any personal places we wished to visit which he incorporated into the tour. We didn't tell my husband Brian until the morning and he was so pleased . Paul was very informative on all of the tour stopping now and again so we could take photos and stretch our legs. The whole weekend was amazing and the weather was perfect but I think the tour was the highlight. We were all very impressed with Paul. Kind and courteous without being intrusive and we were only sorry when the three hours finished. Sad to say we are now home and back to reality but we have made some good memories that we can cherish. Here's to our next tour."

Sandra

"Thank you John Parsons for providing the gorgeous white taxi for our wedding day, it was beautifully dressed and couldn’t have asked for more! We enjoyed chatting and laughing with you on our journey home! And thank you for being so patient when we were late! We will definitely be recommending."
