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!

Anthony is full of energy. He met us promptly and then captivated our family as he shared his love of history, medieval London, and food. The casual tour was full of fun stories, laughter, and great food. I can’t recommend him more highly.Engaging, Entertaining, and Enthusiastic

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!

Wir hatten einen so tollen Nachmittag gemeinsam mit Anthony. Unglaublich freundlich und ein echter Kenner der wundervollen Stadt London. 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!

Just spent the afternoon with Anthony and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! Anthony is highly knowledgeable and clearly loves his city. We saw many different sites and enjoyed his stories describing several neighborhoods of London. Our tour was at the perfect pace and we had a really wonderful time … highly recommend Anthony as a guide and would gladly book another tour with him on our next visit. Perfect overview of London

We had a great tour with Anthony which he personalized for us as we had one person who was older and walking slowly. After about 3 hours a few of us dropped off and he continued on with the rent of the group. Great Personlized Tour

Wir (Familie mit 3 Jungs im Teenager-Alter) hatten eine tolle Zeit mit Anthony. Er hat uns viel Neues über London erzählt, obwohl wir die Stadt bereits kennen. Auch unseren Kindern hat die Tour Spass gemacht und die 3 Stunden vergingen wie im Flug. Herzlichen Dank Anthony und vielleicht bis zum nächsten Mal :-) Spannende & unterhaltsame Tour mit Anthony

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!!!

Anthony is ongelofelijk gedreven en kent dit deel van de stad. We hebben het Eastend ontdekt met zijn prachtige murals en dan doorgewandeld over Towerbridge naar Borough Market. Eigenlijk hadden we dit beter in 2x gedaan, want het was een stevige wandeling en door tijdgebrek hadden we iets te weinig tijd om af en toe stil te staan en te genieten. Beide sites echt de moeite om te ontdekken en zeker met Anthony, echt een aardige man.HEEL FIJNE UITSTAP

Anthony was absolutely fabulous. We decided to throw caution to the wind and go on a tour to the lesser known parts of London. It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We were fully engrossed in Anthony’s storytelling full of mind blowing facts. It was a grand day and Anthony left us near the Tower of London that we explored on our own. One of the best guides and best tours we have ever had. Highly recommend.Memorable Tour

My husband and I had the best day with Anthony. His itinerary was very comprehensive and we got a great taste of London in four hours. We felt we saw a lot without feeling rushed at all, really taking it in. Anthony is a very pleasant person to be with, and as a non-english native speaker I can say that he was also very easy to understand and talk to. Can't recommend him enough!The Perfect London day

Wow! We had an absolutely lovely time with Anthony to start our London experience. He was incredibly knowledgeable, funny, and got on well with our nine year old son. The typical sites were great, but Anthony’s tour of Southwark and Borough Market were absolute highlights, with unique history and amazing food. All three of us would highly recommend Anthony for a perfect local experience!Could not have asked for a better tour

Tristan🇺🇸 United States

Anthony was very easy going and flexible with our family of 5 with 2 young children (7 & 9). We spent a day with him sightseeing throughout London and we felt comfortable and at ease. He put together a great itinerary, but he never made us feel rushed. Any mom knows that sightseeing with young kids may not always go as planned. Anthony understood that too!! He took us to see some not so tourist attractions which was quite interesting and he knew the history behind everything we inquired about along the way and more! He took us to a great food market where you can get anything and everything from all over the world!! Highly recommend booking with Anthony!Loved every minute!!

Our family had the pleasure of touring London with Anthony, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met him, Anthony's enthusiasm and knowledge was palpable. He tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, taking us to a 1,000-year-old market and ensuring we saw all the main sights as well as hidden treasures that many might overlook. Anthony's ability to engage our children was exceptional, making history come alive for them and ensuring they were captivated throughout the tour. His insights and stories added a unique dimension to our trip, creating significant memories that we will cherish forever. He clearly loves London and it shows. If you're looking for a guide who goes above and beyond to make your London visit special, Anthony is your man.
