I knew I liked him over email, and it was quickly confirmed with his wit and humor in person. We were able to see and experience tours of the literary and historical interests we had, and also learned so much more through his insights and experience.

We will never forget the hilarious and memorable experience in Winchester Cathedral with the organ voicing and one very colorful volunteer.

What can I say except that Nigel is one fabulous, knowledgeable, humorous and all-around amazing guide! I first found him and Mirandus Tours back in 2017 whilst arranging tours in... read more London for a group of 15 coworkers, friends and family and he did a great job accommodating all of our requests. Pre-pandemic, I wanted to visit England again with my husband and sister. Due to COVID, our trip was postponed for months, but Nigel kept me informed throughout about the restrictions and prospects for US travelers. Nigel came up with an excellent itinerary of Stratford-Upon-Avon, Chawton (Jane Austen's home), the Cotswolds, Hampton Court Palace, and a bespoke tour of the Temple District with Kate, a barrister and guide who has special access to this incredible location. I whole-heartedly recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a personalized tour experience in London and beyond.
Nigel is amazing! He’s friendly, knowledgeable, and early!! I learned so much on this vacation because of our tours with him. We visited Westminster abbey, Tower of London, Hampton court,... read more Windsor, Stonehenge, and Salisbury. When we return to london we will be booking with Nigel again. Van is also super clean and can fit a surprising amount of luggage (Nigel didn’t even flinch).
Nigel made our experience absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the sites we visited, his understanding of our needs and desires were exceptional. Working with him from planning to executing each... read more tour was effortless. We enjoyed every moment so much that we will be calling him when we return to England for additional tours.

I was very fortunate that I was put into contact with Nigel and Mirandus Tours just before our trip to London in early April. We arranged a driving... read more tour of Bath and Stonehenge and spent a full day with Nigel. It was a long day of travelling to see the sites - but this was the only feasible way we could see the attractions and travel in relative comfort. We wanted to avoid a crowded tour bus and the expense and headaches of a private car rental. Nigel made it easy. He picked us up right in front of our hotel in a clean spacious van and made for excellent conversation throughout the day's journey. He was very kind and very patient. He is a Blue Badge certified professional tourist guide and is very knowledgeable in all topics. He exceeded our expectations many times over. My family of five included three teenagers who all enjoyed the experience. We wish we could have also done Windsor Castle but that would have been an additional day that we did not have time for. Nigel is pretty helpful in giving recommendations and suggestions and within reason will tailor the journey and stops to accommodate the needs of his passengers. I will certainly use Nigel and Mirandus Tours again for my next trip to the UK which hopefully will not be in too many years. AMAZING experience !!
