“Gherto was completely the best guide - the tour was worth every minute spent 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
A long but well-paced London day trip to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, Lacock, and Bath, with a 14th-century pub lunch.
“The day trip was fantastic! Stonehenge was our favorite. We opted out of Windsor Castle and spent our time there eating breakfast at a pub across the street from the castle and then walking along the river which we loved! Stonehenge was great, and the lunch in Lacock was delicious! The village is very small, but very picturesque; perfect if you’re looking for a true “countryside“ experience. Our last stop was bath, which was a beautiful city! I just wish we had more time in bath, we only had about an hour to explore, and when we got there, most of the shops had already closed. Clive was our guide…”

2.5-hour Jack the Ripper walking tour through Whitechapel with historic pub stops at The Ten Bells, Spitalfields Market, and The Bell.
“Jude was such a wonderful guide, respectful of the history of Whitechapel and to the victims especially. A wonderful storyteller who brought us into the story and asked for our opinions. It was so great to hear from someone who studies this history and can dispel the myths and unlikely stories. Loved also learning about the area and its living history. Highly recommend for a small group tour where you can ask all the questions you like, and having a drink along the way is a nice touch.”

Central London pub crawl with free entry to 5 venues, shots included, queue jump, and drink discounts via wristband, plus a photographer.
“This is a tourist trap!! You're better off going to a bar on your own. None of the shots were served in shot glasses, instead they were served in 2ml plastic vials and everything tasted like fruit juice. What a rip off!! We started smoothly at bar 1, got our shot, then moved to bar 2 were we spent an hour just waiting to get the shot since it was happy hour. When we told the organizer that it's almost an hour and some members of our group still hadn't received their drinks, she said she's messaging the manager and remained outside drinking. At bar 3 we got our tiny…”
