Peter is the best of the best!

Peter is the best of the best!! He was more than we could have expected with our last min booking. He is so knowledgeable and so kind. Was a long journey, but he made it enjoyable from beginning to end. You have to do a tour with him. 20/20 recommend.

Private Tours of England- Great Day trip to Kent

Private Tours of England did a great job of designing and implementing a day trip for us to Kent to visit Knole House and Hever Castle. Our guide/ driver, Kevin, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable of the region and an excellent driver.

Excellent driver for two long days

Excellent driver for two long days. Excellent communication and knowledge with accommodating cheerful attitude. Appreciate the flexibility of arrangements made ahead of time and excellent time management. Car very clean and comfortable. Because of London traffic/ time consumption may arrange for one or two countryside nights outside central London next time.

Kevin was an amazing driver.

Absolutely amazing driver Kevin . He went above and beyond — not only was he professional, punctual, and made me feel completely safe, but he was also incredibly kind and thoughtful. He helped me film TikToks, gave such wise advice, and our conversations genuinely made the experience so special. He has such a calm, positive energy and truly loves what he does. I couldn’t have asked for a better driver — he made the trip memorable in the best way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Experience!

Our Private Tours England journey was amazing! Simon, our driver, showed up at exactly the right time, told us fantastic stories/info/tales as we drove, and was extremely helpful and clear about timings, tickets and details. We were picked up at our rental, dropped off at perfect spots at both Stonehenge & the Roman Baths, and were back at the front door of our place happy and relaxed. Highly recommended!

Mark is likely the best!

Mark’s encyclopedic knowledge of history was exceptional. He expressed himself very well, and navigated the route safely and efficiently. He was pleasant, funny and thoughtful, including a surprise stop at the end of our day for which we were so appreciative. We couldn’t imagine a better guide for our day in the Cotswolds! We’re already discussing where we want Mark to take us the next time!

Excellent personalized service

We contacted Private Tours only about a week ahead of when we wanted the tour and they were able to accommodate us. Our driver, Antony, was excellent, safe, flexible to schedule changes, and courteous! The Mercedes all-electric van was very comfortable for four and all our luggage. The two Blue Badge guides, Sandrine and Mike, were also excellent and we had wonderful tours of Bath, Stonehenge and Salisbury.

The whole tour was excellent

The whole tour was excellent. The arrangements from hotels to tours was flawless. I would highly recommend Peter as your driver. Being a historian by training he was extremely knowledgeable and added much to the experience. He was also friendly, flexible, and a excellent driver.

An Unforgettable tour experience with Private Tours England

We recently had the pleasure of using Private Tours England's services during our September 2025 trip to Britain with our family of five. We're thrilled with our decision, particularly with the private transfers and tour guides. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable, providing informative and entertaining tours of the cities and towns we visited.

We're also extremely satisfied with our driver, Mr. Peter, who drove us from London to Bath, Liverpool, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Manchester. His humor and expertise made our journeys smooth, safe, and enjoyable. He even shared valuable insights into the UK's history and culture during our drives.

From our initial inquiries, Private Tours England's administrative staff provided professional service, keeping us updated with prompt emails and swift responses. We'd like to extend our greatest gratitude to Private Tours England for an unforgettable experience

Custom 5 day tour of London

We booked a custom 5 day tour with a private driver guide. We found the Private Tours(PT) very good at listening to what the customer wants and trying to make it happen. I exchanged over 60 emails with Emma, Sandie and Kyle. They responded every time and answered all my questions. I was able to plan a wonderful tour that hit all the places that we were interested in and the prepurchased tickets were sent to my phone each day. The tour with PT was seamless and I did not have to worry about logistics. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
Now to our Driver, Dean. Dean is one of a kind and we are so glad he was a part of our tour. He was a wealth of knowledge. Whether it was interesting points of interest we were passing, to history of all of areas of London. He was master of navigating London and its surrounds. He was integral to our success at getting to where we needed to be and he often suggested other places to go that were phenomenal. He made recommendations for places to eat that were amazing.
Our tour was a complete success because of PT personnel behind the screen and Dean who was with us for 5 full days of touring. Thank you to you all.

Shane took the time to customize our tour to what our desires were in our trip to the Cotswolds. Only thing that could have been better was the weather but no one has control over that. Many thanks to Shane!

This was the best planned vacation ever…

This was the best planned vacation ever - and I didn’t have to make the plans! While we had a say so in the places we went - we let them chose the majority & they did a fantastic job!! Our driver - Mark McQueen was the absolute best driver ever! We consider him family now. He’s very knowledgeable and professional! I’d recommend this company in a heartbeat!

Overall an easy and helpful process planning the trip. I had already done a lot of thinking on the itinerary before I reached out to Private Tours England, but the recommendations they did make including for hotels were helpful and improved the trip as a whole. Communication was good throughout. The tour guide, Calvin, was great to work with and certainly helped us see a lot more than we would have been able to on our own. Would definitely plan another trip with this company again.
