The Celebrity Tour of Notting Hill

the guide i think his name was james is very well informed about the area (nottinghill) i think the fact that he lives in the area will contribute to his knowledge .
I have to say before we went i was a bit sceptical but the tour was a very pleasant experience !

my advice : wear shoes that are nice to walk in (no high heels)

I really enjoyed this tour, it was a nice mix of celebreties, local culture and locations from the movie Notting Hill. Our guide was really knowledgable and our tour actually ran long instead of short. He also stopped so that we could get cupcakes at Hummingbird before it closed. Overall a great experience (Posted on 12/12/2011)

I've been on three Celebrity Planet tours (Notting Hill, Jack the Ripper and Mayfair) and the tours were all really informative and all contained up to date info. The guides were open to questions being asked throughout the tour and didn't mind waiting while we took photos. I've lived in London for nearly three years and it was great to discover many streets I never knew existed. I'd definitely recommend this tour company to both locals and visitors alike. They're fantastic! (Posted on 13/01/2011)

Great tour of Notting Hill. Guide was easy to listen to and full of interesting stories... and of course many locations from the movie. (Posted on 13/01/2011)

My niece and I went on the Notting Hill walking tour last summer, it was fantastic. Got to see lots of different places in Notting Hill - houses of the famous, film locations and much more.

The tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable with great stories to tell. His pet dog was a welcome addition to the tour and very well behaved.

I would recommend this tour and this company to everyong - its a great idea - and I cant wait for my next tour !!!

The tour was really good! The guide was friendly and helpful and had photos to show at various sites. He was willing to answer any questions throughout the tour and didn’t mind waiting while we took photos. This is an excellent way to experience Notting Hill and a great day out in London! Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.

I did the above two walking tours with them. On both occasions due to work commitments, I had to postpone it for a week, and the company was very accomodating to this.

The Jack the Ripper tour was interesting, and well planned. The tour of Nottinghill also, but perhaps not as much, due to the subject matter.

Me and my sister who are from England went on the Celebrity Tour around the Notting Hill area and loved it! The guide was young, fun and relaxed, and even took his little dog along, which proved a great addition to our tour! It felt like a real 'locals' insight into the celebrity world! We did lots of walking, but there were enough refreshement stops along the way to keep us going! It even started at a pub! Other people on the tour were a friendly bunch and the guide got us all chatting to each other. We also thought it was really good value for money! I'd reccommend it to anyone, in fact i've just recommended it to a friend from New Zealand who will be visiting soon! (Posted on 13/01/2011)

This was a great tour. I live in the area but didn't know a lot of the stories or locations. The guide was friendly and knew his stuff. I'd recommend this tour.

Well informed Guide - James - who was excellent company and answered questions. Good pace to the tour which covered a number of well known places from films as well as lesser known places.

Essential to have a knowledge of the film 'Notting Hill' and some insight to British music.

Comfortable shoes are important and although there is a fair amount of walking, it is relatively easy and the tour is so interesting, you will not notice the distance!

Great value for money - thoroughly recommend it as a way to spend two and a half hours.n. (Posted on 13/01/2011)

Today we did the tour and we liked it very much. It was a very small group (5 persons) and we have seen different parts and locations of Notting Hill. Thanks Tim!
If you would like to do something different in London please book this tour. (Posted on 21/03/2010)

Great tour, lovely scenic walk stopping at very interesting places. the tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable - picked up lots of unusual little facts! Also we saw 2 celebs on the way including Claudia Schiffer wandering down the street! Would recommend. (Posted on 25/08/2009)

Really a great and interesting tour!! Friendly and knowledgeable guide!! I'll return absolutely... Thanks!!! (Posted on 25/08/2009)

I did the tour on a fabulous sunny day and it shed light on one of my favourite parts of town. I had little local knowledge about Notting Hill before going on the tour, but Fran our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, approachable and informative on the tour. She interacted well with the group and kept everyone up to speed with local knowledge. Great tour to do some celeb spotting on and I am planning on going on one of the other tours run to boost my knowledge of other parts of London. Thanks for a great day! Have recommended to all my friends! (Posted on 23/08/2009)

It was fantastic. Thanks a lot for this amazing tour. I'll return with friends. (Posted on 07/08/2009)

This was a fantastic tour, the guide was very knowledgable and we saw three celebs in person- much more than I was expecting, Very friendly tour guide and he shared lots of fun and interesting facts. I would def recommend this tour- I would love to go again! (Posted on 23/06/2009)

Excellent idea...thought about this years ago and you have put a really nice package together. As a pap and having done the LA tour i'm sure you will do well...if you ever need any active paps drop us a line. C (Posted on 23/06/2009)

Thanks to Tim for a great afternoon out. The tour was well organised, the guide knew all about Notting Hill and was very well informed. Can't believe we actually bumped into few celebrities - that just made my day.

Recommend this tour to EVERYONE - and for 10 pounds - who can complain. Good luck with the company. (Posted on 09/06/2009)

Thanks for a great afternoon and I can't believe how many celebrities we saw like Ali G, Elle waving from her window and Paul Smith! I will get my mum to do the tour when she comes over as she will love it too!!! (Posted on 08/06/2009)

I really enjoyed the tour. The tour guide was very informative, and we even got to see a few celebrities along the way such as Ali G and Isla Fisher as well as Elle McPherson peering out her window at us, and also designer Paul Smith.... my god, how many celebs can you see in one day?!

it was also nice to chill at the end and have a beer with the guide and take in what we did see on the tour!

I fully recommend the tour and hopefully others can see as many celebs as we saw! (Posted on 06/06/2009)

I've visited London 3 times in the last 2 years and regularly take tours to find out more about this wonderful city, and this is the the most interesting tour I've ever been on, I learned so much amazing stuff about Notting Hill, I can't even remember half of it! Shall be recommending to all and sundry, keep up the great work! (Posted on 01/06/2009)

I was so thrilled to be the official first customer on this tour, but I can assure you that had I not been told I was the first, I would have been sure that it had been going for years!!!

I found the tour to be a lot of fun, very informative and went to some fantastic places!! The staff were all very professional and knowledgeable, and a whole lot of fun to spend an afternoon with.

I would reccomnend this tour to anyone in the area, epsecially anyone who is a Notting Hill fan!

Thanks again guys, I will be back on my next visit to the UK
