Travel tips in London

“I've used Rickshaw Travels a number of times. They are my go to travel company for my annual holidays because they are professional, attentive and always deliver. My family and I really enjoy the personal service and Bhavin tailors the holidays based on our requirements. We recently used Rickshaw Travels when I was looking to book a holiday in the Maldives and Dubai. We were celebrating my wife's birthday and we needed separate bookings for other family members who would be meeting us and surprising my wife in Dubai. The logistics were a potential nightmare for me with different requests regarding flight times and durations etc. Bhavin and the team and Rickshaw Travels made the whole process seamless. They spoke directly with the family members and logically assembled a plan that would work for us all. Bhavin secured a lovely resort in the Maldives that was child friendly for a cheaper price than I could find anywhere myself on the internet. The flights and connections including the sea plane were booked with minimal stopover time and he kindly reserved the basset seats at the front of the plane for our baby too. The family arrived in Dubai a few hours earlier than we did and were waiting in the lobby to suprise my wife. It was a fantastic holiday and it wouldn't have been possible without the help of Rickshaw Travels. I cannot recommend Rickshaw Travels highly enough. We have used them for years and will continue to do so because it takes the stress out of holiday bookings so we can focus on looking forward to enjoying our time there. Thank you Bhavin and all the team at Rickshaw Travels for always looking after us and we look forward to booking our vacations for next year with you soon.”

“Julie found me the most amazing deal on my next holiday, she looked around and found me a great deal and was extremely helpful, she responded to me quickly and was so pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend to everyone! Thank you so much :)”

“I have had the best experience traveling with Riva Travels and I look forward to making them my SOLE TRAVEL AGENCY for all my travel needs. Riva gave us the a wholesome experience especially with being so prompt and responsive. The experience was so seamless, it was my delight to recommend your service to my extended family. Keep up the good work and look forward to many years of travel with Riva…”

“We had a fantastic stay on the Isles of Scilly arranged by the team at Thames Travel. The accommodation was ideal and everything went to plan. It was a tricky 'ask' to find my mother and I accommodation and travel arrangements rather late in the day and they came up trumps!! We can both highly recommend Thames Travel for personal service.”

“Great people to deal with”

“The best decision we’ve ever made!! Emma has just been fantastic, organising every little detail of our big trip in the Southern Hemisphere. She has taken all the stress out of booking a holiday!! She has found us flights, car hire, accommodation and even a baby friendly safari - she has been responsive to all our needs and changing minds!! We can’t thank you enough!!!”

“Very helpful staff , created the perfect package for our family, at the most reasonable price available. I was able to get help at every stage of my journey at any time . I will be recommending this travel agency to all my friends and family”

“Our honeymoon to Sri Lanka, created by True Luxury Travel really was a once in a lifetime experience. With only a few weeks away, we were worried we might not be able to achieve the relaxation we needed after such a busy time, whilst soaking up as much of Sri Lanka as possible. True Luxury Travel created the most amazing bespoke itinerary for us, which provided the perfect amount of relaxation on the South West beaches, combined with the culture and adventure of Kandy and Ella. The service was outstanding, and we cant wait to explore Botswana with their help next year.”

“We were recommended to Swords Travel and within a couple of emails/whatsapp messages we have booked a gorgeous holiday to Mauritius. We were originally looking at the Canary Islands however the deal that we were offered for Mauritius was not one to be missed! Our agent Carla was amazing! She was very helpful and friendly. I am a very indecisive person and booking with Carla was a breeze! I would highly recommend the company. Great knowledge on everything we wished to know! Thank you so much! Will most definitely be booking again!”

“I definitely can say that they are both solution and customer oriented. If a flawless organization is needed, then this is the right team to work with. Trust them, you will not regret it.”

“Absolutely fantastic! experience with Happy tourist and the way they treat the tourists is great. I would recommend Happy tourist to everyone they are so good!”

“Really really good service. Listened to our needs and got us the best deal, better than what we could find ourselves online. We were really struggling to find a good deal for the last 10 nights of Ramadhan 2023 but the team really helped us out and helped us get a deal way under our budget!”

“Throughout our travels, we have been fortunate to experience private tours of many cities and sites throughout the world. I can unequivocally state that the tour with Adrian was the best that we have experienced. Imagine taking a history class with your favorite professor and realizing that the class is over before you know it because it was so interesting, entertaining and informative. Adrian's years of experience in providing tours, his in-depth knowledge of London's history, and his consummate professionalism made for a wonderful tour. From the beginning of the tour and to the end, Adrian did not miss a beat. He greeted us on time, at the designated location, dressed professionally and ready to discuss our customized itinerary. If you don't have a preference, then he will suggest the sites that you shouldn't miss while in London. His level of experience becomes readily evident as he navigates the streets of London by minimizing traffic areas and through his uncanny ability to find parking in the most difficult areas. Unlike many private tours that limit their involvement to a drop off and pick up at various sites, Adrian personally guided us through the site and provided informative and entertaining information for each site. Other tour companies charge extra for such services. Throughout the day, Adrian's continuing efforts to create the most enjoyable, informative and efficient tour for my family became readily evident. From offering suggestions on where we can save time so as to maximize the number of sites, to going out of his way to park in the shade so that we can return to a cooler vehicle, his efforts were much appreciated. We went on a few other private tours in other locations during this trip to Europe, and none of those came close to the quality, experience and value of our tour with Adrian. Thank you Adrian for a wonderful tour. Go Arsenal !!!”

“Chris and Emma make it so simple. We have used them for Summer and Winter holidays and followed their recommendations and had fantastic holidays. They go above and beyond from checking us in to contacting hotels in advance and are a pleasure to deal with - definitely recommend!”

“This was by far the most wonderful experience on our London trip. Ollie was incredibly responsive and helpful in booking our tour. Neil was our guide and brought so much joy and fun facts to our afternoon of sightseeing. Our entire family enjoy it! I would recommend this to anyone visiting London.”

“Our trip was a fantastic experience, we have been so impressed by Sara and Arenatours for our trip to Dubai and Maldives that we can't wait to book our next trip with them. Our itinerary was a perfect balance of activity and relaxation and was exactly what we asked for. We found the whole process easy and any questions we had were quickly resolved. Hotel in Dubai was centrally located and the transfers were a treat. Our stay at Dhigali Maldives was a dream come true. Thank you Sara and Arenatours for such a wonderful holiday!”

“Had my travel vaccinations done here by Vishal, he was really helpful and friendly. They offer a walk in service which is quite efficient! Definitely recommend using this pharmacy.”

“It is really difficult to find a travel agent where you can actually deal face-to-face with a person. Not only that, but it is really easy to access their 'shop': via Southgate tube and bus station or local parking (Asda) I found the staff very understanding of our travel plans. They were able to facilitate our need for split flights. Appropriate questions were asked to ensure a successful trip: passport expiry dates, insurance, Covid advice, transfers ... I am very happy with the service received and would highly recommend.”

“We had the private group full day tour of Paris and thought that it was absolutely necessary to provide a review of our experience with Travel Curious and our guide Pierre-Yves. Travel Curious ensured that we would enjoy our day trip to Paris by making certain we were able to do a tour of the Eiffel Tower and provided us with complimentary upgraded tickets to the summit. They stayed in communication with me from the time of my booking up until the day before our tour. Our guide Pierre-Yves continued this excellent service by going ABOVE AND BEYOND ensuring that not only did we get a full history and background of every major landmark in France but he also took additional measures to take care of us. He was extremely knowledgeable of not only the art in the Louvre, but the architecture and history of all the buildings we passed as well as the city. Pierre gave us a full Paris experience by bringing us walking past landmarks and to the secret spots with amazing views for pictures, took us on a boat, on a train and even a bus. We went to destinations which were not pre-planned and he never once complained. He stayed with us the entire day up until the tour for the Eiffel Tower was set to begin. He even avoided drinking his water at one point because we said we were thirsty and he wanted to ensure we got our water first. He was the best tour guide we have EVER been with in any country and will highly recommend him and Travel Curious to anyone we know visiting Paris. Thank you!”

“Great pharmacy have been going here for many years and all the employees are also very helpful. Also, had both my COVID vaccines and the process was very simple!!”

“Helpful, smiley welcome as you come in, that is what first impressed me about Carters in Pinner. They do go out of their way to help you and advice where you can go if they can not help for any reason. The fact that they remember you and family members that are not longer with us is a sign of how caring and engaged they are with their customers. First class service all the way.”

“I can not recommend this pharmacy enough! My GP surgery were unable to fit me and my family in to do our travel vaccines! Maswell Park Pharmacy literally saved our trip, and I can not thank them enough even though they to were extremely busy. They provided all our travel vaccines including typhoid and tetanus! Thank you everyone! 5*!”

“Exquisite cuisine, best in class service with friendly and knowledgable staff who made the whole evening enjoyable. It was my mother in law’s birthday and we wanted to treat her somewhere nice. Having read the incredible reviews, we decided to dine at London Stock. We ordered the tasting menu and the food was honestly the best food we’ve ever tasted. We dined at a Michelin 3-star restaurant (Uliassi) just the month before coming here, and have to say the food in London Stock is far more superior. Not only was the food cooked to perfection but also the presentation was aesthetically pleasing. Thank you for making my mother in law’s birthday extra special. We will definitely come back.”

“Thoroughly enjoyable and informative virtual tour. I've gone on a couple of tours with Let's Discover London and it's a testament to how good Loona is that I'm a repeat customer! If you want an interesting tour that will hold your attention with fascinating facts about London then this tour is for you. Highly recommended!”

“Great experience when I went Ummrah in October 2021 and it was great alhamdulillah. Sheikh Abdur Rahman Madani lead the group and guided us the whole way through the process.”

“A professional company you can put your trust in and rely on to deliver every time as I found out when travelling to New Zealand Last year. I arranged flights travelling though China which had to be changed. No quibbling, no drama, youngs travel organised and arranged this for me immediately and swiftly with 5 days notice , so I was able to continue with my travels A remarkable team of experts”

“I have been coming here for years. Always fabulous cuts Peter Minos Michael are absolutely brilliant. Even when I had my long hair they were the only people I would let them cut it. Now its short they're still in charge Blake and Noah my sons love this place so much. Excellent prices excellent work. The new look is amazing with so much more room and still the same amazing talent and so happiness. Never leave us guys. Go to Peter and Minos and nowhere else.”

“I needed an emergency asthma inhaler, they arranged for me to collect straight away, so polite and helpful, lovely well stocked chemist”

“A personal service throughout the booking process Becky tailored the holiday perfectly”

“Fourth time I have used at Miles Pharmacy for a Fit to Fly PCR. I am impressed by the service and would continue to use Miles Pharmacy. There was an occasion when there was an issue with the PCR test, the Pharmacist took charge and resolved it, within 10 minutes a correct certificate was issued. This is exactly the sort of service one wants from a local Pharmacist, thank you Miles Pharmacy.”
