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 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 OUTSTANDING! His knowledge of London was second to none. He is clearly passionate about the city he lives in. We had four adults and two children in our group, Anthony kept our food tour fun and informative for both age goups. In all of my travels, I truly rank Anthony as one of my top tour guides. Thank you Anthony for everything!

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

Anthony was a great guide. He showed us the Shoreditch area, and updated us with information, stories in a lively way. We saw a new , unknown side of Londen
Then we got to see the highlights of London, and we went to a great address for lunch at the Borough Market.
We had a lovely time on our tour with guide Anthony.

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

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. We couldn't recommend him more highly – 10 stars!Unforgettable Adventure w/Anthony 10 Stars

When you come to London YOU MUST book Anthony! It was the best 4 hours visiting sights & hearing stories which no other guide will tell you. Leave the other over-visited tourist sights to other guides. With Anthony you are guaranteed a fun informative time. We enjoyed his food stops so definitely will return for more of it. 10 Plus Tour

My 25 year old daughter and I were joined by Anthony for two days: the first day was the Bespoke Food tour, the second day was the Essential Tour of London. Anthony was informative, attentive, provided great direction and was an endless supply of stories. He is extremely energetic and engaging, which created the perfect atmosphere for us to experience a great deal in a very short period of time. 2 days isn't nearly enough to tour London, there is so much to see and do, but Anthony gave us the very best we could do in that amount of time. Highly recommend. You can't go wrong here.

Anthony was an incredible, knowledgeable guide. He was very patient with us and tailored the tour to our needs. He also made it memorable with interesting stories we wouldn’t otherwise hear about. It was a breath of fresh air after having been on many more much formal tours where the information gets lost after an hour of walking. He also took amazing pictures of us! Highly recommend!Fun and relaxed

I had a long layover at Heathrow and wanted to see as much of London as possible in 4 hours so I contracted with Anthony at WithLocals - what an excellent decision! Anthony was warm and welcoming and so knowledgeable. He truly loves his job💕 He took me to see all the big sites plus his favorite cathedral, one of the most beautiful I’ve been in. Plus he took me to the Borough market for incredible tea, pasta and mushroom risotto. So happy I decided to book this tour, thank you Anthony!10/10 Anthony is a gem!!

There is no better way to experience culture than through food. Anthony does an amazing job, bringing enthusiasm, excitement, and history to a fast-paced deep dive into real London. there is so much more to this tour than just food. The sites surrounding the area are so impressive. It’s worth going just for that. But the food is absolutely outstanding. My recommendation is to let Anthony pick his favorite places. I never thought that I would try the food that I did but I absolutely loved all of it. do yourself a favor and take this tour. Best tour in London

Anthony was wonderful! I was on a short timeline as I was on an 8 hr layover in between flights. Anthony helped me with advice on navigating to the city from the airport. Once there we crammed in a LOT in a short amount of time as we explored the sites. He’s a wealth of knowledge, takes great pictures, knows the best food spots and was fun to hang out with. Great experience and highly recommended!Great experience!
