We very much enjoyed this tour with Anthony. We had booked the Fish&Chips/medieval London tour and it was a very good mix of enjoying great food at Borough Market and seeing hidden gems of London. Worth every penny. Also our 12-year old son really liked it. We can fully recommend it.Great spots, delightful!

Our tour with Anthony was outstanding! He was prompt, engaging, and shared fascinating insights and little-known stories not found in history books. Anthony gave us a choice of touring traditional sights or a more local experience, we chose the latter and it did not disappoint! He showed us hidden gems only a true local would know. His food recommendations were spot-on, and it was clear he was familiar and respected in the neighborhood. All three generations on our trip found the tour enjoyable and Anthony a pleasure. We’ve taken many tours and Anthony was one of the best guides we’ve ever had!Top-Notch Local Experience

Our tour with Anthony was awesome! His enthusiasm and knowledge about London is amazing. We have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Loved how he could tell us all these little unknown facts and alleged rumours about different parts or buildings. Good combination of big tourist sites and hidden gems.Highlight of our trip - tour with Anthony

Our Essentials tour with Anthony was everything we could have imagined - he was the most fabulous host to give us an introduction to this beautiful city. He mixed history with culture, food and all sorts of fun facts that we are still referring back to. I would recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a great person to explore London with. Thank you Anthony! Multi generation intro to London

Anthony was interesting, engaging, and a wealth of knowledge - full of detailed stories about the lesser known history of London. We originally booked a ‘top attractions’ tour - Westminster, etc. However when we met he gave us an alternative option to go to a lesser known but deeply historical area - and we were so glad we chose the alternative! We walked around an area of the city that we never would’ve gone to and learned some fascinating history about some key lesser known sites. We also had two kids in tow- ages 9 and 7 - and Anthony consistently made efforts to keep them engaged with interesting - plus dash of morbidity - tales, which they loved. Overall I would highly recommend him, and the next time we go back we will definitely be booking a food tour with him as he also had a deep knowledge of all the great spots in the area (boroughs market was a highlight).Facinating and lesser known London sites

Wij zijn met Anthony op stap geweest met ons gezin. Hij heeft duidelijk enorm veel ervaring en kan perfect inspelen op de behoeften van de klant. Ook stelt hij geregeld voor om een groepsfoto te nemen op de juiste en fotogenieke plekken. Een aanrader ! Top wandeling op maat in London!

We enjoyed our time with Anthony from the start until he left us at Trafalgar Square. The kids say our time with him and learning so much about London in such a short time was one of their favorite experiences of the trip. He gave us food tips, train tips, and safety tips to make our trip more enjoyable. Also, he has great stories! Bonus: he’s a super nice guy. Highly recommend booking with Anthony.London Must-Do

We had a great private tour of 4 hours with Anthony who clear not only knows every little corner of London but also loves the city and its little qwerky stories
We did both the classic sites with a bit of light digestable history lessons but also some of the lesser known local pearls
Me, wife and teenage son all really enjoyed it.
We would warmly recommend Anthony when you are in London Great Local Londoner

Our group of four (two couples) spent half a day touring London with Anthony and he was fantastic! Enthusiastic, funny, caring and extremely knowledgeable about all things London. He showed us the "touristy" sites we wanted to see and also many hidden gems that made our day super special. When we travel back to London, Anthony is our guide. :) Note, Anthony is a foodie and if you want to find the best fish and chips or fine dining he has the answers.Anthony is Amazing!

We had so much fun with Anthony. He knows London inside and out, and felt like an instant friend. He has a keen sense of humor, moves along at just the right pace, and shares fascinating stories and information. Anthony was so good at communicating, and helping design a four to show us the area of London we were interested in. We saw the Parliamentary areas together. Also, he nailed his food recommendations! We loved the pub, and he gave us some solid choices for our next day out to Borough Market. Anthony is Wonderful! An instant friend!

I can’t properly express how amazing our experience was. Anthony guided us on a 3 hour tour of amazing sites. I booked this tour because I knew I’d be overwhelmed by all that we wanted to see and do in London. This tour gave us a great taste of some of the most historical sites. Anthony’s knowledge of London and its history is so very impressive. I’m not a history buff, but he may have turned me into 1!Fell in love with London

My husband and I had a private Borough market tour with Anthony. The meeting spot was easy to locate. Anthony is really friendly and made us feel comfortable commenting and asking questions. I feel we sampled some of the best that the market offered. Anthony made the perfect high quality choices and we truly loved everything we ate. Along the way we got a bit of history which brought the area to life. We saw and ate many things in London, but the tour with Anthony was my favorite! I highly recommend this tour for everyone visiting. IMO it’s best to do it at the beginning of a trip. Thank you, Anthony, for a wonderful experience!A Delicious-Filling-Interesting-FUN Tour

We had an absolutely fantastic time on our family walking tour through London, Bankside, Borough Market, the Underground, Parliament, and Westminster with Anthony as our guide! From start to finish, Anthony was engaging, funny, and incredibly easy to talk to, making the experience enjoyable for our entire family, including our teenage boys who can be tough to impress. His storytelling brought the history and culture of each location to life, weaving in fascinating facts with a perfect dose of humor that kept us all hooked. Anthony’s warm and approachable demeanor made it feel like we were exploring with a friend, and he effortlessly connected with our boys, sparking their curiosity and keeping them entertained. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to show us the vibrant sights and flavors of Borough Market, the iconic Underground, and the historic landmarks of Parliament and Westminster. Highly recommend Anthony for an unforgettable London adventure!Fabulous time!!

Anthony was fantastic. My husband, myself, and our 9 and 11-year-old kids went on his tour our first full day in London. Not only did he take us to his favorite local spots, but he also showed us some of the biggest sites, but with a different perspective and viewpoint. He answered all of our questions, and you can tell that he has a deep bench of knowledge to draw from. Also, his taste in food is 🤌. We highly recommend him and we would absolutely go on another tour with him next time we're in town!Family-friendly, knowledgeable, and fun!

Er hat uns Plätze gezeigt, die wir sicherlich auf eigene Faust niemals erkundet hätten! Die Zeit ist wie im Flug vergangen und ganz sicher wiederholen wir dies bei unserer nächsten London Reise! Vielen Dank Anthony für die tolle Zeit!Einfach wunderbar!!

If you're looking to experience Shoreditch beyond the guidebooks and Instagram hotspots, Anthony’s walking tour is an absolute must. From the moment we began, it was clear that this wasn't just a job for him—it was a passion project. With an infectious enthusiasm for the quirky, the forgotten, and the fleeting, Anthony brought the streets of East London to life in a way few others could.
What sets this tour apart is Anthony’s eye for the hidden details most would miss. He led us down quiet alleys and past unassuming buildings, revealing layers of history, culture, and creativity. His knowledge of Shoreditch’s ever-evolving street art scene was incredible—not just the big names like Banksy, but the emerging artists, political messages, and even the pieces that might disappear by next week. It felt like we were seeing a living, breathing gallery.
Anthony also has a knack for storytelling, weaving in anecdotes about the area’s rebellious past, eccentric residents, and how Shoreditch continues to reinvent itself. His deep respect for the neighborhood’s character, both old and new, shone through in every stop and story.
If you're curious, creative, or just tired of cookie-cutter tours, this is the one to book.

Anthony guided my wife and I around London for several hours entertaining and enlightening us with some of its wonderful history and more unique areas. We tasted extraordinary food from vendors at Borough Market. We checked out St. Paul's and Southwark Cathedrals. Then visited Shakespeare's favorite pub, saw Sir Francis Drake's ship, and Clink prison. These are only a few of the many highlights. The three hours flew by. It was a great day spent with an excellent tour guide. Anthony gets my highest recommendation. I have used WithLocals many times and will continue to do so. Fantastic!

Anthony was a fantastic tour guide and kept our 6 and 9 year old children engaged and interested in learning about the sites we were seeing in London. It helped to provide context and interesting history to all the beautiful sites/buildings. They have repeated the stories they learned to our friends when telling others about our trip! Anthony is knowledgeable and engaging and both my husband and I and our children loved spending the day with him! Must book!!!
