Duxford IWM Airfield WW2 Voyage en voiture privée London Hotel Pickup

A FIVE STAR WXPERIENCE! David was the quintessential guide to Duxford! He provided pick up and transfer service from Heathrow airport to our London hotel as a most welcomed addition to his services as a guide. He picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel before and after our trip to Duxford. As a special treat as American tourists, he coordinated a special dinner reservation at the Mayflower restaurant where the pilgrims began their fateful sailing to the new world. Before returning us to our hotel he drove us by the famous sights of London to cap off our Bucket List visit to London and Duxford to experience the WWII support of American air forces. We look forward to using David's tour guide experience for future travel to England!

Dave was a great guide. He was prompt on my pickup at the hotel, and did all of the driving, which is very helpful in the London traffic. He's very personable, pointed out where I could find the aircraft I was interested in, and spoke with the museum staff while I looked at the planes to find out what planes were flying when that day. I happened to see three Spitfires fly and land at Duxford, including two that took off in tandem. I also saw the TSR-2 and Vulcan, which are great to see in person and not just in pictures.

WOW! What a great day. David picked us up from our hotel and drove us to Duxford IWM in great comfort. A brand new car and so big and comfy. Water bottles were provided for our comfort and the trip was smooth and easy - we weren't the ones driving in London traffic! An absolutely wonderful day, David knew as much about Duxford as any on the IWM volunteers and managed to surprise us with some Spitfire take offs and landings, which does not always happen each day. The enthusiasm and genuine interest of David was matched by my husband as each plane had it's own story. The end of the day had it's own special time too as we went to a 'secret' place David knew off where we had a wonderful dinner overlooking the Thames. The day could not have been more special.

David did an exceptional job taking us around Duxford and sharing his knowledge with us. There were 4 adults and all of us enjoyed the experience (plane enthusiasts and accompanying family members). We also had a family member that needed to rest periodically and David really looked after him. David also arranged dinner for us in a very old tavern. We will look for other tours with David next time we are in London.

Well worth it. Even if you are not an aircraft enthusiast. The fly by and take off of the two iconic fighters was indescribable.
