Dear Harry,

I wanted to write and thank you for the wonderful time I had on my trip to London. You really made all my wishes come true, Leeds Castle, Heaver,Windsor and of course Wales. The pub was so nice with great food and company it will be a trip I will be talking about for a long time and of course it was all because of you. I cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us all, and we really did keep you very busy.

I really hope we meet again until then I wish you and your family the very best.

Your Friend

Harry we just returned last nite from our extensive tour of the Scandinavian capitals. We had a wonderful time with you and enjoyed our five days with you. I learned so much and thanks for all those extras including the daily mints which I continued to buy on the cruise!

If there is any way I can help by writing a public letter recommending your services please tell me how. Peg and I would have been lost with out you.

NOW FOR THE MESSAGE FROM MY BETTER HALF!

Hi Harry-

I'm not sure what time it is by the clock. However, I do know it is time to be very thankful for a trip beyond our expectations and you were such an integral part of this. From the "cotton in the ear" emergency to dinner with Pat and Ian we truly thank you for your great guidance.

'til we meet again =:)

I made it back all right. Thank you very much for the additional surprise of the CD; it was most kind of you to think of me that way!! I have as yet to play it, and to unpack; when I got home I basically crashed.

It was really good to meet Pat and Keith, who seems a most personable nice young man. Given how you were with me, it's not hard to know why he is this way/smile. Your enthusiasm and kindness to me added a great deal to my trip.

Thanks a lot; looking forward to next time!!

Most Sincerely,

Kathy.

Our tour with you was truly the highlight of our first trip to Europe, and it created a lifetime memory that nothing can diminish or top. You are an incredible historian of London and England, but more than that, you are a true gentleman, a "class act", and a friendship was borne that day that we will cherish for all our days to come.

As travel agents, we deal with many tour operators, but you are so special that we will not only send every client going to London to you, but we will actively "strong arm" people to spend the day with you. We know your incredible view of customer service will make them lifetime clients for both of us.

Dear Harry,

We wanted to write and thank you for making our dream trip to London perfect. The whole week was much more than we could have ever asked for, and that is all thanks to you. You pampered us the whole time ,we saw more of London than we ever hoped to see. We hit all the high spots and some that we would have never found without you, from the Hard Rock Cafe to the Church of the Holy Serpentine how could we forget.

The lovely country roads and small towns with their lovely spring flowers all in bloom were beautiful and will be much remembered by all, especially Mom. We truly can't say enough wonderful things about you Harry, and will be talking about you and our trip for a very long time. We would also like to thank your wife for her kindness with packing water, tea, and cookies. They were very much enjoyed and we are all telling all our friends if they go to London they must have you give them the tour if they really want to see and experience all there is to see and do. All of us really feel as if we have truly found a friend in you. I haven't forgotten the "free range eggs" either, we really had some great laughs . Hope to see you again soon, best of luck in every thing.

TO: ALL

If you have any plans to spend time in the British Isles, read on....

I spent the first two weeks of August, this summer, in London, and having found Harry Norman through the UKFORUM on CompuServe, I emailed him and asked him about taking me and my nineteen-year-old twin daughters around the area. The results could not have been any better, and I would most highly recommend that, if you want to really "feel" England, you have to have Harry as your guide.

I had inquired about the possibility of spending a day on the canals, and Harry obliged rather spectacularly. He met us at our hotel and drove us out to a village near Stratford, where we boarded a truly wonderful narrowboat owned by a friend of his, and we had a most memorable day cruising down the canal through lovely, idyllic scenery and learning how to handle the many locks, which was fascinating. The pace was easy and relaxed, and as we went along, we enjoyed chatting with the people walking along the banks of the canal. After a hearty pub lunch, we headed back the way we'd come, and we all agreed that we'd had an absolutely wonderful day.

Harry took me, later in our stay, to see Richmond Park and Hampton Court, and I was very glad I hadn't tried to do those on my own. He is so knowledgeable and so efficient, as a driver and a guide, that I saw and learned much more than I would have without him.

I hope to return to the UK in the not too distant future, and, when my plans solidify, the first person I shall contact will be Harry, because he is a terrific, insightful guide (I mentioned my interest in things equine, and the next thing I knew, we were at Epsom Downs!), his prices are very fair, and he's a great guy.

Hello Harry!

Sorry it took so long to respond. We have both been working extra hours to make up for the time we were gone. This is the first time I've logged into the net since I returned. Thank you for a lovely time in London. You really made the trip special. We would not have visited as many wonderful places if we had been on our own. George is already talking about a return trip. It's wonderful having a friend across the "pond".

George sends his regards.The airline packed his antique walking sticks in a box and they arrived without a scratch. He shows them to everyone and tells them how you discovered the tiny shop in Arundel together.

We got the photo's developed, and they turned out great! It's hard to believe that we have been home a week and a half. Everytime we see a TV program with sights from London, we talk about our trip with you. Take care and keep in touch. If your are ever in America, look us up and we'll be the tour guide.

Best regards to you, your lovely wife Pat, and your boys. Our "boys". (Prince and Hero) send their best also. Many thanks for the dog treats. They really enjoyed them.

Dear Harry,

We arrived home on Saturday night, and spent Sunday sleeping, unpacking, sleeping, eating and sleeping. Today, I feel back to normal again.

I would like to thank you again for our day with you. I would have loved to make it more days, we just didn't have enough days (this trip). We saw more of London in the day we spent with you than we saw in the next 5 days. And let me tell you that for someone like Tom who is vision impaired, having a personal guide really made the trip for him. He felt that he "saw" as much of London as we did. It was a truly first class experience for both of us.

As I told you before we left London, we will be back as soon as we can possibly arrange it, and this time we would like to spend 3 of 4 days with you in and around London - Maybe Cambridge, Warwick? We'll talk lots before then.

We sat at breakfast this morning discussing what we wanted to see again, and what new things we wanted to get to. With talks like that, I don't think it will be too long before we find the money to come back.

Again, thank you for our day in London and we look forward to many more.

Sincerely,

Peggy and Tom Squire

To Whom It May Concern:

Last year I arranged by email, for a tour of London with Harry Norman of LONDON TOURS, for myself and my family. Having never been to London, I was unable to be specific as to what exactly we wanted to see, but I do remember telling Harry that we wanted an overview of the city, and left it to him, to decide what might be best.

Harry somehow managed to make sure that we saw the major architectural sights, Hyde Park, gardens, a museum, the palace, and he suggested a charming Italian restaurant for lunch. We were amazed at how much we were able to squeeze into the afternoon and how effortless he made driving in London appear to be!

Not only did we feel that we had the flexibility to add or change the tour, which we wouldn't be able to do with a group on a bus, but Harry was terrific about stopping for us to take photographs on several occasions. His knowledge of the city is impressive and we enjoyed his humor and insight.

Since my trip to London, I have recommended LONDON TOURS to several of my clients and everyone has been pleased with the service, the tour, and the ability to remain flexible. I would highly recommend London Tours to anyone planning a trip to London or the surrounding countryside.

Dear Harry,

We arrived safely into Moscow but not without some reservation. We had a delightful time in your company and will highly recommend your services to any one who might be considering your country.

You are a wonderful tour guide, showing up at all the right times in all of the right places (ie. picture taking time) and it only adds to our enjoyment with you. I will tell Mark to recommend all of his clients that may be going through your neck of the woods to take advantage of your tours.

You were right in your letters, where we meet as strangers and leave as friends. Harry, with all honesty you did great and we couldn't have asked for a better guide. I am glad we turned down the Queen and stayed with London Tours.

Very Truly,

Dear Harry,

Just wanted to write and thank you for a great day at Avebury, Stonehenge, Salisbury and Winchester. The late tea was great as was the pub. Debby and I agreed it was the best day we had. The information and insight you provided made the day much more meaningful than if we had hopped the bus with the other tourists.England was fascinating. I hope business goes well for you. I'm sure with your personal touch your greatest problem will having enough time. If it's suitable to you, I thought I would pass your name and number along to my travel agent.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas.

Dear Harry,

We arrived back home safely, and have adjusted to the time zones again. Rachel is now off to college. We enjoyed our trip very much, though we were quite tired when we got back. England is a wonderful place, if you would only drive on the correct side of the street.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week of tours with you. By the way, it wouldn't hurt to suggest to future visitors to leave their American hair dryers, curlers etc at home, and buy British ones on arrival. I think that the favorite spots for us were Windsor, and Hampton Court, with the British museum and the Cabinet War Rooms a close second. We really do appreciate all your efforts while we were there, particularly as we seemed prone to get separated and lost. I can't imagine what it would have been like if I had been trying to drive!

Thanks again for all your efforts.Our best to you and your family.

Regards,

Keith, Jane and all the family.

Harry,

On January 15th, Michelle and I had what can only be described as a travel day filled with adversity.

The weather, the Gods and the airlines conspired to ruin our trip even before it began. One of the happiest and reassuring moments of our trip was the greeting you gave us as we exited customs at Heathrow Airport after our tumultuous airline trip.

Your warm greeting, cheerful attitude and quick wit instantly put us into the "English Spirit". Although I've traveled to the United Kingdom many times, this was my wife's first trip abroad. Your in depth knowledge of the people, sites and history was very apparent as we exited the parking structure. With my interest in history and my wife's interest in anything English, you skillfully entertained us both with a balance of sites and stories.

Even though we only had a little less than eight hours to enjoy London and the outlying area's, you filled the day with enough sites to wet both our appetites for a return visit.

I would nominate you for for king if a commoner could fill that position.

Best regards,

Edward & Michelle Moalem
