My wife and I had a better than expected tour with Barry. I thought at first it was pricey but it was WEP - Worth Every Penny/Pound/Pence. Barry was gracious, helpful, knowledgeable and made the day more wonderful than we expected. We got to see all the things a foreigner wants to see ie; Buckingham Palace, Westminsgter Abbey, Tower of London etal without having to pick and choose what to see. I'd recommend Barry on the first day of your Holiday and pick and choose what/where you want to spend more time. He's not only a schooled historian, but gave us a true sense of the English and Londoners. It confirmed what i thought about many things English-esque and changed my views and understand/appreciation of what I believe are American mis-perceptions about England eg; the Royal Family and their importance to the country. I could go on and on but won't. Just hire this mate...he's amazing and WEP. Last thing, if you're planning to do the Cotswolds/Oxford tour; ask him if when you book the London tour if he can do that as well. We had a fine tour bus with 20+ people but if I knew what i know now, I'd have booked both with him...Cheers...JEM
