John

With a passion for British royal history, it’s always a delight to share insights and engage with guests when walking around central London. After all, many historic buildings and sites may be easily taken for granted - or even missed!

Of course, today’s royal family often makes the news but what about the stories about some of the former royals?

Medieval and Tudor London, for example, are certainly still key aspects of London’s heritage as events shaped what Britain stands for today.

Join me for a private walking tour and let’s have a great time engaging with the present – and past – London too!

"It was like spending a day being shown around by your affable and well-read English cousin." (Guest endorsement).

Bio:

I enjoy engaging with people from all walks of life.

My background is diverse and unique. Having lived and worked in the Far East and travelled worldwide, I apply this grounding to my professional and personal life. Whilst studying, and before embarking on a business career, I was a Caseworker for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) in Singapore and Indonesia, using my bilingual skills.

I love to travel and share my experiences with my family by experiencing what our wonderful world has to offer together. We've so far been to places as far east as Australia and as far west as California.

Having a multicultural and international background, I am known for being very adaptable. Do check out my reviews. Hope we shall meet soon!

John is a very knowledgeable and easy going tour guide, who gives an entertaining and informative tour of London with plenty of anecdotes from The Crown thrown in and more than a few hidden treats. We highly recommend him to anyone considering a tour of London!Fabtasyic tour guide

The tour with John was very informative. John explained history, politics, and gave insights into society as well. I learned many new things and John drew my attention to details and facts I would never have noticed by myself. John was very responsive when planning the tour, and he adapted the tour to my needs. I can highly recommend John for anyone's tour, since he is always trying to get the tour suitable for any of his customers.Wonderful tour - highly recommend

Knowledgeable and pleasant guide. Very good for families who want a local person with historical knowledge who can take the back pathways tourists don’t see. Had a perfect walk around Westminster. Knowledgeable and fun guide

We had the absolute pleasure of having John as our tour guide during our time in London, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! John’s deep historical knowledge is truly impressive, and his passion for sharing the stories of London’s rich past made the tour both educational and captivating. What truly set John apart, though, were his exceptional interpersonal skills. He has a natural way of connecting with people, making every moment feel relaxed and enjoyable. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, revealing hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path spots that we would have never discovered on our own. Spending time with John felt less like being on a guided tour and more like exploring the city with a dear friend. His enthusiasm and attention to detail made this an unforgettable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend John to anyone looking for a unique and enriching way to experience London!Wonderful afternoon exploring!

The tour was fantastic! John was extremely knowledgeable about current and prior history which really elevated the tour experience. He took me to some great locations in the show which was awesome because I'm a huge fan of the show. But he also showed important royal sites in general. You won't be disappointed signing up with him!Perfect tour

We had a fantastic morning with John! Communication with him before we booked was great. My mom is elderly and moves slow so I wanted to make sure she could do all the walking. John was very accommodating and made adjustments for her as needed. John's love of history and all things royal shone through on this tour and he made us feel like we were part of history. Don't hesitate! Just book the tour with John! We would definitely book again if we came back to London.Feel like You're Part of History

My husband and I took a tour with John and had a great time. We learned a lot about the history, the cities within greater London, and the key landmarks to see as well as where the Crown was filmed. Crown/History Tour

Jon was absolutely the best tour guide we have ever had and we do walking tours every time we travel. He was so knowledgeable about London and also gave us insight into the crown. Personalized our tour to what fit us the most. He was Very kind and warm and we saw so much in 2 1/2 hours more than probably many tours for half a day. Highly recommend as well as with tours company. In fact, we will be looking for them no matter what city we visit next!Best london walking tour ever!
