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 !!

Nigel picked us up in a Mercedes van, which was super comfortable and roomy. On our way, he stopped at a beautiful country town called Castle Combe. Next we went to Bath and had a visit at the Roman Baths. Nigel then took us a on walking tour of the city of Bath. We ate lunch and headed out for Stonehenge. Although I had read several different opinions on if Stonehenge was worth the trip, I would say it was 100% worth it with Nigel as a guide. Being on our own schedule for the day and not having to worry about train schedules or driving in the UK was amazing. Nigel's knowledge about all the sites we were visiting, London in general and just being super easy to converse with made it one of our favorite days on our London trip! I would not hesitate to recommend Nigel to anyone looking for a private tour guide in London.
