Maria Clara did a great job of modifying our itinerary on the fly to make sure it fit into our schedule for the remainder of the day. She was so knowledgeable, answered questions from all ages, and was just a pleasure to be around. Maria Clara was awesome

We ask to go to 4 places on a 3 hour tour with Maria & it was perfect. She guided us through a very busy borough market where we got a lunch and some sweets. She knew exactly where to take us! The history was fascinating. Then took a ride on the tube like we were locals. Westminster Abby then Buckingham Palace. Ended in a local pub where for a farewell drink. Maria was so informative and we never felt rushed in a super busy town. We would highly recommend her and will have her take us around to different places next time in town. 1st time in London tour

Sophie was pleasant and knowledgeable. Before meeting her she asked what we were interested in seeing and tailored the stroll to our liking. We went at a casual pace and saw many things that were made more interesting because of Sophie’s commentary. Worth the walk

(About local Tom)

1 julio 2025

Our family of four (with two teenagers - 19 and 14) spent three unforgettable hours with Tom during our first visit to London. Tom is an incredible storyteller and allows you to get to know London in an engaging and relatable way. He introduced us to key landmarks like Tower Bridge, House of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben, and helped us orient ourselves on our first day in the city, so we could go back to some of his recommended spots. He also suggested a great pub circa 1663 near the area we stayed in and it was fantastic! Great food and ambience. Tom’s comment about London truly stuck with us - “London might not be the most beautiful city, but it’s definitely the most honest - as it’s not afraid to show the good, the bad and the ugly.” That really resonated - it’s truly such an eclectic city full of contrasts. Thank you Tom for helping make our first trip here so memorable! If you’re considering booking a tour with Tom - just do it and you’ll be glad you did!Highlight of our visit

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!!

During the tour, he made sure to check with us about how the pacing of the tour felt. We especially appreciated his ability to tailor the tour to our interests — we asked for a focus on architecture and Chris delivered. I learned a lot and had fun doing it. Thank you Chris!

Kemal was a great teacher for us. He helped us take our photography to the next level or even to the level above that. We loved every second of it and truly appreciate him coming to Istanbul for us. Yes it is pricy but for us it was worth it, as we now have a new approach to taking fotos of the people on the streets, so thank you very much Kemal!Awesome Streetphoto Tour/Lesson in Galata

We are a family of four with a 10 and 13 year old. We wanted Tom because of his storytelling description and we weren’t disappointed. Tom was fun and engaging and was full of stories and history which our kids ate up. We discussed tons of topics and he seemed to be able to answer or provide some insight to every topic. His passion for history and guiding was obvious and made it a great time. We would happily take another tour with Tom if possible. Great family highlights tour!

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!

Vielen Dank Anthony für die tolle Zeit!Einfach wunderbar!!

Travel delayed us and we joined Tome almost a half an hour tarty. He was gracious and creative. He tweaked the tour, changed the itinerary a bit and we covered all and more we had hoped for! We only had that afternoon and the next day in London so he provided a great orientation, recommendations for dinner and a quick tutorial of the Underground! Awesome AND flexible!

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.

Chris was a great guide! We had planned an afternoon Kickstart tour and had some check in issues at our Airbnb so we were a bit late getting started. Chris was very adaptable - waited for us while we grabbed a quick bite to eat and re-arranged some of his planned tour. He provided a great overview of London - particularly in the government area and gave us useful recommendations as to travel and restaurants too. Definitely a 5 star.London visit

We had the absolute pleasure of spending our first day in London with Chris as our tour guide, and it was the perfect introduction to this incredible city. Not only did he teach us how to navigate the Tube like locals, but he also took us to some of London’s most iconic spots: Parliament, Covent Garden, the financial district, and so much more. What truly set Chris apart was his extraordinary knowledge and the fascinating historical stories he shared at every stop. His passion for the city is contagious, and we left the tour feeling more connected to London’s rich past and vibrant present. Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, booking a tour with Chris is a must. Highly recommend!A fantastic day in London with Chris!

Had a fantastic time in the Galata area of Istanbul with Kemal. Local knowledge is a great thing. For someone trying to remember how to find their way around a camera again, it was a fantastic learning experience. I would thoroughly recommend Kemal's tour if you are lucky enough to find him available. He is patient, seeks out great photo opportunities, and willing acomplicies, to help 'get that shot'. We also learned a few tips and tricks to make our phone mobile photography better. An all round great time with an all round great guy! şerefe Kemal. Galata with Kemal

Firstly, I must truly appreciate that Tom was ever so accommodating given we had messed up our train journey and were running quite late! He shared some charming insights into the history of the Royals, all with a dash of humor to keep us entertained all the while. The highlight of our tour was undoubtedly when we saw the King and Queen driving into and then again out of Buckingham Palace! Those moments specially were exhilarating. Thank you Tom was the warmth and the wonderful time.We saw the King and Queen !!!

We booked Tom for both a Royals Tour and the Swinging Sixties Tour. A full day. Tom labels himself as the Storyteller. He is that and alot more. Tom makes it all come alive from Ian Fleming favorite bar, to the Beatles last concert sight, and to the first club Jimi Hendrix played in. Tom will take you there and then fill in the significance and make it come alive. Was such a fun day. Tom is attentive, warm and easy to connect with. At the end of the tour if you don’t feel like you have made a friend. Shame on you. Tom is great about taking pictures all day long of you and then downloading to you. Great guy. Great tours.
