I booked 4 days in early May 2024, for me and my 3 sons, with Private Tours England as part of our trip to London, Kyri was our guide. We visited the Cotswold’s, various castles, Stonehenge, and other sites outside of London and couldn’t have asked for a better time or guide. Driving from London to the sites takes time but it never felt that way, we really enjoyed our travels with Keri, he was the best and when we return for another trip we’re definitely booking with Private Tours England and requesting Kyri. Highly recommend.
